Day 136 - Meet Lillia, our Hawk of the Day! Lillia has been incredibly helpful in keeping our classroom tidy and is always polite. We're immensely proud of her! #OneHawk 🦅💫
Tomorrow Tuesday Mach 18 is your last chance to ORDER your shirts!!!!
On Friday April 4th both our baseball and softball teams are playing home and we will be hosting a Salute to Service themed game. We will be inviting and recognizing both military and first responders the night of the game. We plan to invite out our local first responders (police, fire, emergency medical) and retired and active military members. The theme will be RED, WHITE and BLUE for school that day and the games that night.
Prior to the first pitch we want to announce and recognize those service members in attendance. We want to call out names and acknowledge their service; to do so we need to collect names and information- please help us share this link for those who plan to be in attendance and want to be recognized: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfLck8wYkZsjxpskg5fZHUzLl-PWeLY2uoPENgLb1Ot1ntsbA/viewform?usp=sharing
We will be selling LMHS Salute To Service shirts –now through March 18th to raise money for the Deputy Bradley Link Scholarship fund. Shirts are $20.00 each and MUST be pre ordered to arrive in time for our Salute to Service Baseball/Softball game. Shirts are cotton and will run XS-3XL in sizes. Again, shirts must be pre ordered/paid for and then we will send to print. Shirts will deliver prior the game on April 4th and we will distribute like we did with the pink night volleyball shirts.

Seniors,
I hope you all had a very relaxing Spring Break, and are ready for the last 9 weeks of school. As usual, below are your updates/reminders for the week.
1). Nominations for Prom King and Queen are available on the google class page. Also, Prom tickets are also on sale. Remember, unlike Homecoming, these will sell out at some point; so get yours now.

2). Tickets for Graduation are on sale. Each student will get 10 FREE TICKETS. Additional tickets may be purchased for $10 each, with a maximum of 10 per family.
https://lake.revtrak.net/high-schools/lmhs/lmhs-graduation/#/v/graduation-tickets-c-o-2025
3). Make sure you are getting your grad bash permission forms turned in either in person or by email. Once I have that form, stop by and pick your bus. Forms are due by 3/28 and if your form is not turned in, you will not be able to go. Any student who does not choose a bus by 3/28 will be assigned one by me.

5). Finally, I checked today and Herff Jones still has the link for Cap and Gown's available. Orders were due by 3/10 so I do not know how much longer the link will be active. So, if you still have not ordered your cap and gown, you need to do so IMMEDIATELY. We need you to understand; in order to walk you need to have the correct green gown, the 2025 tassel, and the 2025 medallion.

Prom Ticket Update: RevTrak issues with prom tickets on March 16 have now been corrected. I apologize for the inconvenience yesterday. RevTrak normally just switches to the new ticket pricing, but this year, I had to upload an entirely new link, which is now up and running.
If you complete the form again in order to get to the link, please enter ZERO tickets so that you don’t inadvertently throw off the numbers. Thanks!
Hawks- Hope you had an awesome Spring Break! As we dive into the final quarter, here's what's happening on the Hill this week! Let's make it amazing! #OneHawk
Seniors,

2). We still have 69 students who did not purchase caps and gowns. We need you to understand; in order to walk you need to have the correct green gown, the 2025 tassel, and the 2025 medallion. When I checked today, Herff Jones still had the link available for our school. Order quickly, because I do not know when they will take it down. Tassels, gowns, and other stuff you may order will be shipped directly to you. The cap and gown will be brought to school by Herff Jones and be handed out on April 15th nd 16th.
3). Grad Bash tickets are no longer on sale. Those who bought tickets need to get permission forms turned in. Packets can be found outside my doors or linked below. Bring or email the permission form to me by 3/28. Once I have your form, you can stop by and choose your bus. PLEASE DO NOT INTERRUPT ME DURING CLASS TO TURN FORMS IN. Tickets are NON-REFUNDABLE and you cannot sell your ticket yourself. However, I do have a few students who want to go but missed the deadline to buy tickets. If you find that you are no longer able to go, let me know, and I can reach out to those on my list and see if they want to buy your ticket.

4); Each student will receive 10 FREE TICKETS to graduation. Additional tickets will be sold for $10 a piece; with a maximum of 10 extra per family. These will be available on revtrak starting Monday, May 17th. There is a finite amount of additional tickets; so if you need some, please do not wait to purchase.
Enjoy the rest of your week,
