Dear Parents / Guardians:
There were many noteworthy things that took place in Lancer Nation during the month of February. When Quarter 2 Honor Roll was released, we had 463 students earn High Honors, 290 students earn Honors, and 116 earn Honorable Mention. That is 869 students earning academic distinction! Please click the following link for a complete list of the Londonderry HS Honor Roll. 2018-2019 Q2.pdf Continuing with our academic focus, we are pleased to announce that Zachary Chau is a National Merit Finalist! Congratulations to him and we’d also like to thank the following members of our National Honor Society for providing babysitting during the Deliberative Session. Thanks to Vituu Touch, Kathryn Maheras, and Madison Rearick.
Most of our winter athletic tournaments have wrapped up, with Patrick Hagearty winning the Division I Shot Put state title in Indoor Track! As we begin the month of March, our fourth ranked Boys Varsity Basketball Team and our Unified Basketball team begin their tournaments. We wish them the best of luck and also wish to congratulate our Students of Month: Kaitlyn Koza (Gr 9), Luke Brown (Gr 10), Melissa Marino (Gr 11), and Joshua Berube (Gr 12). Our Teacher of the Month is Lisa Fraser and Staff Member of the Month is Andrew Rush.
The month of March will offer some interesting events and activities. Progress reports will be available online on March 8th. Tuesday, March 12th is Election Day where community members will be voting on our school district budget and other articles. The Marching Band and Color Guard will be performing in the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade in New York City. Spring sports begin on Monday, March 18th. Musically, the String Concert will be held March 13th, the Choral Concert March 20th, and Band-O-Rama Concert March 27th, all scheduled for 7:00 pm in the high school gym. In the following weeks headed into April, LHS will host a community event to discuss the use of teenage vaping, social media, and our school’s policies and procedures in addressing this issue. This event is being organized by a group of parents who are calling this “Home First”. More details will follow, but all students and parents are welcome to attend both events.
Tickets for The Addams Family go on sale throughout this month. Tickets are $10 for students and $15 for adults, and can be purchased at www.londonderrry.org or by calling the high school. Our Drama Club will perform this musical on April 4, 5, and 6.
Sincerely,
