School Ops:

Congratulations to Class
of 2019 member Turner Rogers for
being awarded the Optimist Club's annual Robert H. Leonard Service to
Humanity Award on Friday. Turner represented our school as a high school
senior with a consistent and impressive focus on service.
·
Congratulations to our L&N Art
students who were juried into the East Tennessee Region Art Exhibition at the
Knoxville Museum of Art: Kaizen Johnson (mixed media), Kayla
Juhl (printmaking) and Aidyn Parkey (2 drawings).
Special congrats to Kayla, who also was awarded an Honorable Mention. This show
includes pieces from the entire East Tennessee region, from Chattanooga to the
tri-cities to Crossville with representation from public, private and
home-schooled students, so it is a huge honor just to get in. The
show will be open the day after Thanksgiving through January 13, 2019.

The Coffee
Nook is back!. Coffee,
cappuccinos, teas, cocoa ($1.00-$1.50)
Look for us at the counter in
the Commons in the mornings and the first half hour of each block. We only take
cash or change so consider purchasing a 10-cup coffee card for $10 so you
don't have to remember to have money with you!
·
Upcoming Book
Drive in January. As you prepare for the holidays and think
about leading a more organized less cluttered life in 2019, consider setting
aside any books you no longer want to donate to the Coffee
Nook/Key Club Book Drive in January. We'll happily accept any books
you don't need and find homes for them within our own local community
support facilities (for all ages). Anything not appropriate for those
audiences will be turned in for store credit at McKay's.
·
Holiday Teacher
Appreciation To celebrate
and thank our teachers this semester (and to keep them caffeinated and
happy), our PTSA is collecting K-cups for the faculty and staff of the
L&N STEM Academy. Please consider dropping off a box of coffee k-cups
in the office between now and Winter Break.

College, New Hampshire, will be in Guidance on Wednesday, November 28, at 12:15pm.
