Student Spotlight
Staff Recognition -
"We would like to nominate Wes Cackler for special recognition. Before our family even arrived in the district we contacted the main office to make sure Lansing was a good fit for our kids. The staff there connected us with Mr. Cackler… and he has been blessing our lives ever since. Since the summer of 2020 Mr. Cackler has been our go to for every question large or small and he has answered every single one promptly, thoughtfully, and happily, always making us feel like a priority although we know he is incredibly busy balancing different roles within the school. He epitomizes lion pride and the students, staff, and families are incredibly lucky to have him on the team.
Thanks so much for considering including Mr. Cackler in the spotlight section. Best wishes for an outstanding 2022-2023!"
Each week we'll thank a staff member in our Weekly Update. If you would like to nominate a staff member for the great things they are doing for our school, please email the information to alan.penrose@usd469.net.
Football Games
- Student performances are the focus of the event. No one should be on the practice football field, soccer fields, or other areas away from the stadium.
- Please do not bring balls, frisbees, or other items to the game
- Elementary and middle school students should enter and sit near a parent.
- The middle school cheering section is on the south side of the stadium near the concession stand.
- Students can not enter the stadium from the tailgate area.
- Spectators who are disruptive will be asked to leave.
Meal Cards
All LHS students should have received their meal card this week. They get a key tag that can be put on their car/house keyring and a larger card that can go in their wallet or lanyard. Some even put it in the back of their phone case.
Bringing their cards is a HUGE help to the cashiers. It makes getting the students through the line much faster. A card swipe is so much quicker and more accurate than trying to hear and understand a student's number or name and enter it in the system.
KAY Club Looking for Volunteer Opportunities
If you are an organization in need of volunteers, please consider utilizing our Lansing High School K.A.Y. club. You can contact them by clicking here.
K.A.Y. (Kansas Association for Youth) is a community service organization at Lansing High School, and they work within the school and community to provide aid.
"We've done events such as Teacher's Feed, where we served food to the teachers during parent-teacher conferences, and have worked with the Leavenworth County Humane Society," said President, Niklas Schintgen. "We at K.A.Y. are looking forward to seeing what we can do to help you!"
