· Congratulations to our own L&N art student, Austin Monk. His artwork "Nested
Hands" will be forwarded to Congressman John Duncan's Washington office
and then presented to the Capitol art curator to be hung. This artwork,
representing the Second Congressional District of Tennessee will be on display
for members of Congress and thousands of visitors to enjoy while walking in the
national Capitol building for a year. Austin and a family member will be flown
to the Congressional Artist Reception in Washington DC. Congressman Duncan's
assistant Pat Thompson said, "We had a wonderful turn out this year: seven
schools in Knoxville, along with Maryville and Washburn. The Congressman was
well pleased." Thank you, Austin, for representing our school so well!

The Spike ball Genius Hour teachers
are hosting a Spike ball and 4 square tournament this week. April and May is fund raising time for our
friends at the Downtown YMCA. Our goal is to encourage you to donate a
few dollars (or more if you like) while playing SB or 4SQ. We can then
give the proceeds to the Downtown YMCA for their fundraiser. The Y does
so much for us in PE and Wellness that we feel it is important to give back to
them.
So come play Spike ball and 4 Square this week during
Genius Hour. We will have awards
and gift cards for top players/teams. It will be a ton of fun and
help continue our great relationship with our friends at the YMCA. Hope
to see you all at Genius Hour this week.
Talk to Mr. Orrick, Waxmonsky, Smith, Ebright, Peterson and
Parker if you have any questions. If we get rained out this week we can
finish the tournaments next week.
· It’s time to vote for PTSA Teacher, Student Support, and
Team Support people of the year! Please
go to http://goo.gl/forms/061AcaYJAn and place your votes.
Each student gets one vote in each category. You need to vote by Wednesday, May 4.

considered visiting New York City during Fall Break 2016—now is the time
to commit to this trip! We have custom-designed this tour just for
L&N students and parents. This all-inclusive tour comes at a very affordable
price, totaling $1,052.00. The only money you will need on the trip will be for
souvenirs and food on the bus. GOOD NEWS: You can reserve your spot on this
trip for only $150.00! Registration
and the $150 deposit is due by May 18.
· Y-12 Federal Credit Union is now accepting applications for student
volunteers to work at the Golden Gryphon Credit Union (located in the Commons)
on Wednesdays and Fridays during Genius Hour for the 2016-2017 school year.
This is a great opportunity for students looking to earn work experience
or volunteer hours, and student volunteers over the age of 16 are eligible to
apply for a paid internship at a Y-12 branch. Come by and talk to current
students involved with the credit union during lunch to learn more about it! Pick
up an application from the folder on the door of Room 215.

Quote
of the day from Ralph Marston:
Make it a habit to tell people thank
you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of
anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find
many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have
more of it.
Practice L&N Habits every day: Collaboration, Critical
thinking, Design, Innovation, Inquiry, & Professionalism
