L&N Student Mission – #Own it!
School Ops:
·
Students – pass on to your parents or be aware if you
drive – expect lane closures and altered traffic patterns this Tuesday – Friday
for the Honda Wing Ding. A convention that
will bring 7-8,000 Honda Gold Wing motorcycles to Worlds Fair Park. Watch and listen for directions and practice
flexibility!
·
Teens for Christ will meet Monday morning at 8:50 in
D113. All are welcome!
·
Today is yearbook photo day – all students will go to
your regularly scheduled classes but follow the table below to have your
picture made at the time designated for your Advisory (listed by teacher). When it is your time, report to the STEM space
in the Depot building and bring your envelope you received last week with
you. Lost it or forgot it? We’ll have blanks. All students must have their pictures made
even if you don’t purchase – they are used for yearbook and student IDs (which
will be available soon).
·
All grades – do you like playing Monopoly? Or Life?
Those are board games, but you can get experience in the STEM field of
banking (think about it, math, computer programming around security . . .)
while you’re here at the L&N by working at our school satellite office of
Y-12 Federal Credit Union. This is an
honest-to-goodness bank with lots of opportunities as you serve your classmates
and L&N staff to assist with their banking needs. Application is attached – open to all grades. Return to Mr. Griffin before end of Genius
Hour next Wednesday, 8/29. Interviews
will be Friday during Genius Hour.

The Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) at our
school is looking for one student from each grade level to represent their
peers at our monthly meetings. We're looking for reliable L&N STEM
Academy students who want to be more involved in our school and who
are willing to help support PTSA in decision making and upcoming events and
this is a great leadership role for your high school resume.
Here's what you need to know:
o PTSA meets the second
Tuesday of each month from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Can you meet at this time on
Tuesdays?
o PTSA will need your help
to put on PTSA events. Will you make yourself available to help?
o PTSA will ask for your
opinion on issues and events that impact your fellow students. Will you
feel comfortable making your opinions known?
If you're interested and you answered yes to all of these
questions, please click on this
link to apply for the position for your grade. You'll be notified by Friday, August 31st if
you've been selected.
