Counselor’s Corner
Attention parents of 9th Graders!
The week of December 8, all ninth graders currently enrolled in a MAPS class will be conferencing with parents to discuss the following:
- Personal Graduation Plans
- Career Goals/Career Cruising Profiles
- "True Colors" Personality Traits
- Business Projects
This is a required activity that gives students an opportunity to share their goals and aspirations individually with their parent(s). Students only present to their own parents. They are encouraged to be creative in their presentations. Mrs. Slaughter will be in MAPS classes the first week of December working with students to help them explore graduation options. She will also be available for questions and comments during conferences. Please sign up for a conference using the following link: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0c4dadac2ba5f58-personal
“LUNCH BOX TUESDAYS” are coming! Any LVHS Seniors interested in $$$$ for college? Join Mrs. Slaughter every Tuesday, beginning December 9, in Room A107 during lunch to discuss scholarship opportunities. Bring your lunch, your initiative and be ready to work!

Pies for Teachers!
LVHS MOMS
Thanksgiving Pies for Teachers
It's that time of year again. Time to show some "Pie Love" to our teachers. Please help us show our faculty and staff how much we appreciate everything they do for our kiddos by signing up to provide one or more pies. Our goal is to have 100 pies so that each teacher and staff member can take two home with them for their families.
Pies should be delivered to the front desk at the high school between 7:30 and 9:00 AM on Tuesday, November 25th. Please send them in a disposable pan wrapped in plastic wrap or foil with the type of pie CLEARLY LABELED. We have decorative boxes for each pie that they will be transferred into upon arrival. We will also have decorative labels for each box.
DATE: 11/25/2014 (Tue 7:30AM - 9:00AM)
