Hello SLHS Families,
I hope everyone had an opportunity to spend some time with family and friends during the Thanksgiving Holiday. We had our first quarter parent conferences on November 19th & 20th and want to thank all the parents for taking time out of your schedules to attend the conferences. We had a good turnout and appreciate the interest in your child’s education.
Events/ Activities @ SLHS

The Club LMC hosted a Senior Citizen Technology Outreach night on November 27th. Although it was a snowy November afternoon, at least half a dozen seniors showed up in the SLHS Library to receive individualized tech assistance. To all of you seniors who have questions about the tech gadgets you have or might receive, please email Seth Putnam, putnamset@slcs.org and take advantage of these tech savvy students....it will be worth your time!
The holiday season is here, which is often a busy and stressful time of the year, but is also an exciting time as we anticipate traditions and celebrations. The SLHS Music Department is having their Winter Concert on Monday, December 17th at 7:00 p.m. in the High School Auditorium. We look forward to seeing you all there. Students have also organized and hosting an American Red Cross Blood Drive on December 5th in the Gym for students and staff. We are also having an Alumni Day for the Class of 2018 to come in on December 19th @ 11:00 for some pizza and tell us how things are going.
