2015-16 L&N Student Mission – Own it!
School Ops:
·
Don’t miss the 2nd
Annual L&N Open Mic night – tonight!
Come cheer on your friends – have free coffee, hot chocolate, and
sweets. Donations will be accepted but
the evening is about showcasing our amazing students’ talents! See the senior skit spoofing the faculty!
· Students are
encouraged to practice your professionalism habit. This includes being where you’re supposed to
be, when you’re supposed to be there, doing what you’re supposed to be
doing. We’ve had several instances
lately of students not practicing this – don’t make us have to discipline
you. Make good choices!
· All Band,
Orchestra, and Percussion Students: REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR CONCERT ATTIRE
TO SCHOOL THIS MORNING. THIS
IS FOR THE YEARBOOK PHOTO. ALL STUDENTS IN BAND, ORCHESTRA, AND
PERCUSSION WILL HAVE THEIR PICTURE TAKEN TOGETHER. ALSO, PLEASE REMEMBER
TO BRING YOUR INSTRUMENT! Concert attire can be dropped off in the music
room in the morning, before school. Please remember to take it home with
you at 4:30!
· On Monday, March
7th, you can support our school and help the community (and so can your
parents!) at our annual MEDIC Blood Drive. Here’s a link to
sign up for your donation time:
There is a form
you need to complete and bring with you on the day of donation. It is attached.

Quotes
of the day from Nora Roberts:
If you don’t go after what you want,
you’ll never have it. If you don’t ask,
the answer is always no. If you don’t
step forward you’re always in the same place.
