Important Information
Term 2/semester 1 ends in two weeks on Friday, January 17th. All students and families should be checking PowerSchool and making arrangements with teachers for extra help if any courses require extra support and/or attention in order to finish the term or semester strong. As a reminder, the National Honor Society provides peer tutoring afterschool on Tuesdays in the LMHS library.
All students should check PowerSchool to view their Semester 2 schedule. Students are required to take a minimum of six courses. If students have questions or concerns about their semester two schedule they should see their school counselor as soon as possible and before the first day of semester 2 classes on January 21st.
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.
