2015-16 L&N Student Mission – Own it!
School Ops:

Congrats
to the Ultimate Frisbee team on winning the Kentucky Open Invitational
tournament this past weekend in Louisville, Kentucky. The Varsity team went
7-2, taking home first place against teams from Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee!
The JV squad also went to the tournament and made incredible improvement over
the course of the weekend.

The
Recycle Club is kicking off its campaign this week. In some classrooms
you will see a GREEN bin with "Keep Knoxville Beautiful" on the
front. These bins are for classroom collections of PAPER ONLY. Please help us keep the L&N STEM school
beautiful by placing your paper for recycling in the bins. Within the
next few days there will be green bins in all the classrooms. Paper only please. No food trays,
plastic drink bottles, aluminum cans, trash, or glass.
· Shout out to conference organizer Taylor Martin, Mrs. Ellis, and the whole SGA
chapter at L&N. They hosted an heroic workshop for east TN
student councils that had a record 800 attendees yesterday at the Knoxville
Convention Center. Tremendous example of
our student leadership!
· Congrats to our two athletic college
commitments this week – Graham Denton
signed to swim for West Virginia Wesleyan and Alli Lapps will swim for George Washington University. Way to go Gryphons!

Orchestra Fall Concert! Violins: Ella Marston, Clara Prinston, Kelty Oringderff, Gregory Croisdale, Rory
Glatt, and Elliot Mills; Cello:

difficulty was tremendous and our students performed with absolute
brilliance!

charity, and you can bring new and unused socks in the green recycling bin
in the front office. We'll be collecting socks until December 4th, so
please consider helping us give back to the community!
· Interested in writing a novel? Maybe
you've already started one? November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). Check
out the website for the Young Writers Program and sign up here: http://ywp.nanowrimo.org/. To celebrate and encourage
participation, the Media Center will be open at 8 a.m. in the morning
throughout November. Just think about what you could accomplish in just 1
hour a day for a month! Work alongside Mr. Crattie and Ms. Ellis
as they work on their own novels.
Community & Guidance Ops:
· Juniors: You can pick up a voucher to register for the next
administration of the ACT during your lunch in the Commons area on Monday from
Mrs. Salerno.
· Seniors who missed picking
up your TN Promise packets can pick them up from the guidance office.

of the day from Nelson Mandela:
Our greatest
fear is not that we are powerless. Our
greatest fear is that we have power beyond measure.
Practice L&N Habits every day: Collaboration, Critical thinking,
Design, Innovation, Inquiry, & Professionalism
