Dear Lancer Families:
I can’t believe we are nearing the end of our school year. I want to take this opportunity to thank our parents, community members, and staff for their support throughout another challenging, but successful year! What we have accomplished at Londonderry High School can be attributed to our students’ efforts. The recognition and celebration of them in these monthly newsletters has been richly deserved, and our Lancers continue to come together to make a difference in each other’s lives. This student-body has accomplished a great deal and we are very proud of them!
Our “Lancers Speak Up” event was a huge success, led by seniors Sage Matzger, Abigail, Whitley, Colby Ramshaw, and junior Susan Kim. They did an incredible job organizing a meaningful day that included an address from Scarlett Lewis who emphasized the importance of demonstrating courage, gratitude, forgiveness, and compassion. Our clubs and organizations were able to showcase their good work with their classmates, and games and activities were held on the track field where our students came together by grade level to enjoy each other’s company and spend some quality time engaging in healthy activities. It was a wonderful half-day focusing on wellness. Our media production club was recently featured in the NH HS Short Film Festival. Members include Ahna Gainey, Danny Garrity, Spencer McIntyre, Sean O’Mara, Brendon Saranich, Paige Scanlon, and Josh Truesdale. Our four seniors are all going on to college to study film production at the University of Arizona, NYU, and Fitchburg State College.
June is an exciting month for the Lancers. Our Adult Education Graduation ceremony takes place on Thursday, June 2nd. Step Up Day for our incoming freshmen will be held June 7th. There are plenty of upcoming events in which our school and community can also take part. In athletics, our spring teams compete in their Division I State Tournaments. Please visit www.nhiaa.org for all tournament information and results.
Senior Week kicks off on Monday, June 6th with the Varsity Athletic Awards Banquet from 9:30 – 11:30 am in the LHS gym, followed by Milk & Cookies at Moose Hill School for the Class of 2022 from 11:40 – 12:15. Senior Supper will be held on Tuesday, June 7th at 4:00 pm in the cafeteria with Cap & Gown pickup following that event. Wednesday, June 8th the seniors will go on their class trip taking a Mount Washington Cruise. Buses depart LHS at 3:45 pm for that trip. On Thursday, June 9th we will celebrate our Senior Scholarship / Baccalaureate Ceremony at the Capitol Center for the Arts in Concord at 7:00 pm. On Friday, June 10th Seniors will visit their elementary schools for breakfast at 8:00 am. We will watch the senior video and have graduation practice following that event in the gym. All financial obligations are due no later than that morning. That evening we will celebrate the Class of 2022 for our Graduation ceremony at 7:00 pm at SNHU Arena in Manchester, NH. Final Summative Assessments run June 13th – 16th for our underclassmen. (June 16th is the last day of school for all students).
We sincerely appreciate your support and contributions throughout this year. Please enjoy a happy and safe summer vacation!
Sincerely,
Jason Parent
