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.
