FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE
|
|
What a huge debt of gratitude we owe to our Booster Club leaders and to our LC families!
Last weekend’s auction was an absolute smash. The delicious food – the baskets and other items that were available – the beautiful room all geared out with Tiger memorabilia – the slide show of all our kids being awesome in athletics and arts performances – the wonderment about who would take home the doors - the laughter.
It was a stunning, exuberant event.
So very much effort on the part of so very many people was on display, and so very many people were so outrageously generous with their donations – it could not have been a clearer portrait of what makes this community so very special.
Lewis and Clark is where all our kids are
all “our kids”.
No bidder on Saturday was directing their dollars to a specific program for a specific Tiger.
Everyone there was caught up in the idea that this event would benefit ALL kids.
Everyone there recognized that what makes one program stronger and more engaging and more available can make all our kids feel more cared for and served and inspired by this place.
And so the bids kept rising and the donations kept rolling in and by night’s end more than $50,000 had been raised.
Please know that as principal, I am grateful each day for the generosity of this community and for the way you all so determinedly love all our kids.
Please enjoy a wonderful Veteran’s Holiday weekend with your family – you are all The Best!
Marybeth Smith
LC Principal

Senior Yearbook PORTRAITS:
The 2019-2020 yearbook staff would like to inform you on the aspects of the yearbook that specifically concern your Senior student. The deadline for
senior portrait submissions
is
November 30
. Please make sure your submissions are turned into the Lewis & Clark yearbook email:
lcyearbook@spokaneschools.org
- If you do not have a professional photographer, the yearbook staff will be glad to take one for you. Visit room 015 prior to the deadline for your photo.
- Students who do not provide a photo will have their Dorian school photo placed unless unavailable.
- Current photographs of seniors ideally displaying 3/4 shot (waist up) are requested for the senior section.
- Photographs should be color or black and white.
- While we want you to express yourself through your senior photo, please keep it respectful and professional.
- Photos will be accepted by the yearbook staff and deemed appropriate. The yearbook staff has the right to deny photos that don’t comply with our expectations. An additional photo will be requested.
- We will not accept photos with the following: horizontal pictures, pictures with other people (or pets), inappropriate content, excessive photo manipulation, or costumes
- School dress code applies to senior pictures as well!
- For the photograph to print properly we require a photograph that is a minimum of 1 MB (1,000 KB). Larger files are fine as we can always size down. Facebook or Instagram photos do not work as they are not sized for print publication. An ideal size is 2x3 inches (vertical) at 200 dpi and emailed to lcyearbook@spokaneschools.org.
- Photos of larger scale will be accepted and sized appropriately by the yearbook staff.
- When you email your picture we will confirm that we received it. If you don’t hear back within 48 hours, we did not receive the photo. Please follow up.
- Please specify the student’s name as file name. Ex: Smith,John.jpg
