LPHS Parent Newsletter
November 2020
Dear Families,
Thank you to everyone in your efforts to keep our campus safe during this pandemic. It is important for all of us to continue to practice social distancing, wear a mask, wash our hands, and stay home if you feel ill or exhibit any of the COVID-19 screening symptoms.
November is another busy month at LPHS. We are opening up the window to select Option 1 for on campus instruction and Option 2 for our distance learning from October 28th through November 6th. Please login into Skyward and select your option starting the second semester.
I hope you enjoy the newsletter and recognize the positive achievements of our students and faculty. I want to wish all of our families both a Happy Halloween and a Happy Thanksgiving!

Mulligan Foundation Donation!
On October 16th the Gerry and Franca Mulligan Foundation donated several instruments to the LPHS band in an outside and socially distant presentation. LPHS was honored to host Mia Toschi from the Mulligan Foundation, Mayor Tom Dermody, and State Representative Jim Pressel. We appreciate the generosity of the Mulligan Foundation and their donation in excess of $16,000!
One of the most widely respected and admired jazz musicians of all time, Gerry Mulligan occupies a unique place in the American musical scene. Recognized as an important 20th century composer, arranger, saxophonist, and conductor, he played a vital role in the history of modern jazz and contemporary music. Mulligan performed with such jazz immortals as Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Lester Young, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Jack Teagarden, Dave Brubeck, and Billie Holiday. He was consistently voted number one in jazz polls around the world winning a record twenty-nine consecutive Down Beat Readers Poll awards and 1 grammy award in 1981.
