October 2019 Newsletter
Hello SLHS Families,
October is here! I hope that September at the SLHS has gone well for your child(ren). September flew by with the many special events that took place throughout the month. We had a great first day assembly which featured a large group of seniors who developed videos reinforcing the rules, which has become a humorous tradition.The Guidance Department hosted a College Planning and Financial Aid Night for Seniors and their families on September 25th and had a great turnout. Homecoming 2019 was a huge success packed full of activities and school spirit. I want to thank all of our students, clubs, groups and staff for pitching in to make this a great week.
