Please read attached letter regarding the drug dog that will be on our campus in the future:
The weather gets colder the next few days and our heating system is still not quite up and running . Our new boiler system is almost complete! In the meantime we are asking students to please wear long pants, long sleeves and bring a jacket. Each classroom has electric heaters allowing us to have comfortable learning spaces but our hallways are a bit chilly as students pass from class to class. Thank you for your understanding!
LHS Athletic Fans! Today at 6pm Girls Varsity Soccer is hosting Pendleton in their final home game of the regular season. They are calling this their Sell Out Game. Coach Gianandrea did some research, and it appears that attendance at high school girls soccer games is not kept in the State of Oregon. That is something they want to change, and in a big way! Their goal for this game is to have 400 or more fans in attendance to cheer them on! The girls have picked the theme of wearing black and blue clothing.
To help fill the stands for these Athletes there will be NO ADMISSION charged at tonight's game! Spread the word, brave the cooler weather and go cheer these ladies on as they attempt to set an attendance record as they take on the Pendleton Buckaroos!

LHS Juniors and Families, Our school is participating in the Student Health Survey (SHS), a survey sponsored by the Oregon Health Authority Public Health Division and the Oregon Department of Education.
