LIS Tiger Talk

Tiger Families,

It's been such an amazingly fun and exciting week! Our annual LIS Dodgeball Tournament was a HUGE success. 44 teams, 400+ participant, $1,900 raised for NEST and some sore staff members heading into the 3-day weekend. Thank you to Mrs. Orsinelli for all of her work on this event and thanks to our staff who joined teams and volunteered to judge. Congratulations to our overall champions- Standing On Business. If you have any videos or pictures of our epic dodgeball moments this year, we would love to see them! Email carterju@lovelandschools.org.

We need presenters for our LIS Science Day on Thursday, March 21st. The details are below. Please reach out to me or Sudeepa Hall at hallz6521@gmail.com if you have any ideas or possible leads.

Have a great 3-day weekend! Go Tigers!

Do you love science? Have a science-based career? Or maybe a cool hobby?

We are currently looking for presenters for our LIS Science Day on Thursday, March 21st, from 7:45 am until 1:45 pm. (Lunch will be provided) Our theme for the year is Science is CURIOSITY.

The idea would be to present a topic of your choice, involving science, for about 40 minutes to 5 different groups of students. Each homeroom group has about 28 kids. Your presentation could be anything from a lesson to a demonstration to an explanation of your job, etc. Possibilities are endless and we are happy to help along the way. We're wanting to engage students and get their brainy gears churning.

We can only pull off this day if we obtain enough presenters. Even if it’s not you, maybe it’s a coworker or a neighbor or a family member that can help make this day a huge success; please connect us.

Feel free to email or call/text Sudeepa Hall at hallz6521@gmail.com or 937-367-9218.
