The Lion's Roar

A Note From Mrs. Bowden...
As Leadership Prep continues to grow, so does our commitment to ensuring that every student receives the support they need to grow. The LPS Student Services Department plays a vital role in providing a range of resources directed at promoting academic, social, and emotional well-being.
Whether through our Social Workers, special education services, or student support programs, the Student Services team works collaboratively with families, teachers, and administrators to create an inclusive and nurturing environment for all.
As we expand, we remain focused on enhancing our services to meet the diverse needs of our students. Together, we are committed to fostering a community where every student can succeed and feel supported on their education journey.
Please enjoy the first LPS Student Services newsletter.
It is a great day to be a LION.

#LionSTRONG
Lion Nation,
If you have not heard already one of our own students, Celeste Ocampo (12th Grade), received the horrible diagnosis of stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She is the captain on the girl varsity volleyball team and the week prior to receiving the diagnosis she committed to playing D1 volleyball at Binghamton University. We wanted to do something to help and show our support as a community by selling a shirt and proceeds of the sale will go towards Celeste’s treatment. Please click the link to purchase a shirt and show your support! https://lpspurpleforceleste.itemorder.com/.
