New club at LHS - SAVE Promise Club
We have been working with Ingrid Markman (LPS) and the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation based out of CT to bring this work to LHS. As part of the program we will be starting a SAVE Promise Club. Given the awareness needs at LHS and across the US regarding bullying and suicide we believe the timing of this work is critical for our school. We have students right now who want to be part of this club, but they need an advisor. The paid advisor meets with students 1-2 hours a month and organizes 4 activities throughout the year totalling 2-8 hours per month. This club has support through the Sandy Hook Promise organization regarding the goals of the club.
Please let me know if you are interested in being part of this incredible opportunity to grow the energy and passion of our students wanting to make a difference.
Culinary students give back!
The students of the Culinary pathway had the opportunity to give back to their community this week by preparing and donating potatoes, squash, and stuffing for 120 people who might not otherwise have a Thanksgiving dinner. The dinner will be served at our neighboring church St. Joseph's. Each year the students take great pride in being able to help others who are less fortunate.
Student preparing donations!

WHAT THE TECH!
Tech Tip from Malinda:
In my travels throughout the building, I have been noticing lots of equipment left on when not in use. It is important to be diligent about turning things off because they will last much longer. This includes times during the day such as your prep period. For example, projector lamps have a limited number of lamp hours. Unplugging the computer from the projector does not automatically turn off the projector, even though it might look like it is off. This is because there is no signal being projected. If you look at the lense (indirectly) you will see a glow which means it is burning lamp hours! It is also burning lamp hours when on “mute.” Some devices to consider turning off when not in use include projectors, TV screens, apple TVs, monitors, and focus boxes (hopefully there aren’t too many of those left hanging around). Laptops do not need to be shutdown as often, but it is a good idea to restart them at least once a week. If you are planning for it to be off for more than 24 hours, it would be best to shut down. Remember, if something you rely on burns out, there is no guarantee it can be replaced in a timely fashion. Often, it will have to wait until the following school year due to budget. Have questions or need help? Enter a help desk request for Technology Training/ITS, or email helpdesk@lowell.k12.ma.us and I will set up a tutoring session with you.December Upcoming Events
