Also, I will be ordering diploma's soon. I ask that each of you check PowerSchool to be sure that we have your name spelled correctly or if you wish to not include your middle name on your diploma. Most students have their full first, middle and last name on their diploma. If I do not hear back from you before January 31st about making changes, I will place the order to have your full name that we have in PowerSchool on your diploma. Please let me know if you have any questions. tcooney@lunenburgschools.net

Lions Club Recycle Challenge
The Lunenburg Lions Club is participating in the TREX recycling challenge. The challenge is to collect 1,000 lbs. of plastic that would otherwise end up in the landfill. The plastic is recycled into TREX products and the Lions Club will receive a beautiful TREX bench if they can reach their goal.
Plastic that is acceptable is clean, dry grocery bags, bread bags, bubble wrap, plastic shipping envelopes, cereal bags, salt, pallet or wood wrapping, newspaper bags, ice bags and the like.
We can all do our part to help save our environment. Plastic can be dropped off at the donation boxes located at Lunenburg Middle High School lobby. There are other collection boxes located at the food pantry at TC Passions and Ritter.
