have ordered a yearbook, please make plans to pick it up at this time. Be sure
to know if you’ve purchased personalization so you get the right book. If

This Sunday, May 7th, is
L&N's Baccalaureate Service. Seniors, remember to arrive by
2:00. We will have a brief "run-through" of the service before
the prelude music begins at 2:45. Seniors, bring only your cap and gown
as no honors will be worn for this service. This will be a memorable
service with music provided by L&N's brass ensemble and a cappella
choir! Everyone is invited! The staff and faculty are holding a
reception for the graduates and their families directly after the service at
the school at 4:00.
