Winter Issue (Mid-November-December 2020)
A Time of Reflection and Finishing the Semester Strong
The holiday season is upon us and it causes us to reflect on all the special people and things in our lives. Now more than ever, acknowledging and developing a mindset of gratitude means expressing appreciation for all parts of life both big and small and establishing meaningful relationships with family and friends. We hope you get to spend some time with family and friends (in person or virtually) and to relax.
Although we are all excited for the holiday season, we must remember to finish the semester strong by turning in all work, attending tutorials, and doing well on those final exams in December. This is also a good time to look at your spring schedules in Skyward and if there are any schedule changes that need to be made, please contact your counselor via email, Webex, or in-person before the winter break. The LHS counselors wish everyone a safe and wonderful holiday season.
