SUBJECT: LCHS 9-12 PTSA: All the News You Need!

President's Message


Dear Family,

It’s hard to believe that it was four years ago this week that our schools had to close down as the Covid pandemic began.  I am so grateful that we have come through that time and can truly enjoy and appreciate the experiences we have together as a school community.  And, this week there is a lot to experience together!  

On Thursday evening, March 14th, we will honor the Founders Day winners from throughout the district.  The awards reception will begin at 6:30 pm in the Auditorium.  Please join us to celebrate these outstanding individuals.  

We will also have the Multicultural Fair on Friday, March 15th, from 6-8:00 pm in the south quad area. Then, Saturday, March 16th, from 8am-12pm we’ll have our annual Servathon, school clean-up day.  

I hope to see many of you on campus at these events!  And, at our PTSA meeting next Thursday, March 21st at 8:45 am. 

Please reach out with any questions to ptapresident@lchsptsa.org.


With warm regards,
Christine Chant
LCHS PTSA President
