Homecoming Week was such a great time! I loved seeing the school spirit alive in our building this week. I enjoyed my first Pep Rally as an LPS Lion. The hallways were so festive. The crowning of our Homecoming Court was amazing. The Mums, WOW! The finale, the Homecoming Dance, is Saturday night. If you did not pre-purchase tickets you may do so at the door. It will be $20.00 cash.

Parents, while there is a time and place to have fun, being disrespectful to staff, classroom disruptions or the interrupting of learning does not have a place at LPS. The consequences for this is noted in our Parent - Student Handbook and they will be administered. Also, please ensure that your students are wearing their badge and trust card, as they are part of the LPS Dress Code. Detentions are being administered for those who are not in dress code.

Fundraising for TeamConnor

Each year, we partner with TeamConnor to raise money to support children in our area suffering with cancer. All of the money raised goes directly to TeamConnor; none of it is for LPS. Giving is all done online so you don't have to send any money to school.

The giving window will be Thursday September 21st - Monday October 1st, see below how to donate to Team Connor:

Good afternoon Leadership Prep staff and teachers,

We are thrilled to welcome back your amazing school, Leadership Prep for the 2023 campaign for Coins for Kids with Cancer program to benefit TeamConnor Childhood Cancer Foundation. We are so honored to have such a deep relationship with such a wonderful school, students, staff, and families who have generously participated with this important program to fund pediatric cancer research. September is an important month for us as it is childhood cancer awareness month and so it is timely that your amazing school is participating in this awesome fundraising event.

The fundraising goal for your grade is $500 - $1,000. This is a goal and if you all surpass it, that is AMAZING! Your team name is Help Us Make a Big Change 2023. All giving is online this year on one platform. We ensure this seamless, simple, turnkey, donor friendly approach for the staff, teachers, students and families of Leadership Prep.

Donation for the 2023 campaign is NOW OPEN! Please click this LINK to make your online donation today for childhood cancer. In the IN HONOR box please list LPS and the grade level. If you have multiple students please list LPS and the grade levels. For example, LPS grade 7 and grade 3 or LPS - 11th and 2nd.

This is a wonderful opportunity for our staff, teachers, students and families to give in a BIG way for childhood cancer. September is childhood cancer and we are honored to play a meaningful role in the impact that TeamConnor has within this space in our community with our local children's hospitals, Children's and Cook Children's.

We look forward to a successful campaign as we fund pediatric cancer research. To date, the TeamConnor Childhood Cancer Foundation has funded almost $6M for pediatric cancer research. We know that through research a cure will come and it is our hope that no child or family has to go through the childhood cancer journey.

Please let us know if you have any questions and or need any additional information. We are here for you! Help us beat childhood cancer!
