We welcomed over 185 five-and-six-year-olds to the #TR1BE yesterday at our annual Kindergarten Registration Day! #Classof2036

For the seventh year in a row, LCHS hosted Senior Capstone Day in coordination with local business and industry professionals. From an engaging keynote speaker to guiding students through writing polished resumes and creating LinkedIn profiles with professional headshots included to a networking lunch and a simulated budget experience, the Class of 2023 is primed and ready for their life after high school graduation! Thank you to all of our coordinators and volunteers for another successful Capstone Day! #TR1BE

In just over a month, our seniors will be walking across the stage, accepting their high school diplomas, and continuing on their life’s journey! For many years now, our community has made the Senior Letter Project a special memory for all of our graduates, and we are asking for your help once again! To date, we have less than 300 letters. With over 200 graduates, our goal is to make sure each senior has at least 10 personal notes of congratulations and encouragement to open and read on the morning of their high school graduation day. Please help us spread the word and encourage anyone who may know these graduating seniors to write a letter or create an e-card! We’ve updated our list of seniors as of this week, so be sure to check out the most updated version (attached) when you are sharing this out. Thank you so much for helping us to continue this tradition! #TR1BE

Summer will be here before we know it, and our partners over at the Community Helping Place are currently accepting registrations for the Summer Food Program. Please help us spread the word, and call 706.867.9621 to register today! #TR1BE
