Lutherville Lab Report
What's gone down & what's coming up at the leopards' lair.
April 26, 2024
This was a special week at Lutherville Lab! We had some great field trips and today was a memorable half-day and special celebration!
This morning we held our first Growth Parade. Students paraded our back walked as the Steel Drum Band played, displaying a poster with their point of pride for the school year as their schoolmates cheered them on. It was so special to see the smiles on their faces and pride. We gathered to see the Dance Club perform as the school watched and sang along. And we ended with our Minds On, Whole Hearts, ALL IN! cheer.
But it was just 10:00! Students also learned about Holi, the Hindu festival of colors, unity, and love, and with the help of wonderful family volunteers, were able to tie-dye a Lutherville t-shirt provided by the PTA.
It was a great morning of celebration and pride. Please ask your Leopard what they were proud to celebrate and enjoy some images and video on the school's Twitter (@Lutherville_Lab) and forthcoming social media from the PTA for more.
In partnership,
-Mr. McComb

Thank You for Spring Clean Up Help
Thank you to all the students and families who helped with our Spring Clean Up last Saturday and to Towson University's a cappella group, Perrrfect Pitch, for also pitching in to make the front of the school grounds look beautiful and refreshed for the spring! Many, many thanks to Rita Nabhan and Leah Wheeler for chairing the event.
First Holi Celebration on Friday, April 26, 2024
Today we learned about and celebrated Holi, a Hindu festival of love, colors and unity. Students watched a video featuring fellow students Jasper, Ethan and Nysa, put handprints on a "Happy Holi" banner and tie dyed t-shirts which students will receive back from their teachers on Monday. All students and staff received a "Lutherville Pride" shirt. It was a joy to be together in this way today, honoring Yash and his family, and we look forward to expanding on the celebration in future years. Thank you as well to our volunteers today!
