Hang in There...
Legend has it that each of the leaves on a four-leaf clover bring their own attribute: the first leaf represents hope, the second stands for faith, the third is for love, and the fourth leaf brings luck. Wishing all of our Cardinals each of these things as you head into the official start of Spring next week!
Remember, you don't have to be Irish to have fun on St. Patrick's Day! So wear a bit o' green, laugh all the day long, keep a jig in your step, a song in your heart, and some shenanigans up your sleeve!

Parent-Teacher Conference Scheduling

Can you Brave the Shave?
LHS is once again forming a team to raise money for the St. Baldrick's Foundation. This is a huge event in our community, with every school and many sports teams represented each year. Our very own principal, David Adam, has his head shaved every year...after a rousing bagpipe performance of course! Think you can "brave the shave?" Check out the flyer below for information on joining our team, making a donation, or volunteering for the event! If you have any questions, please see Ms. Tziarri or contact her at stziarri@ltps.org.
Here is the link to our team page:
