Hope Presbyterian, who hosts their Sunday services here at LNMS and has been an incredible supporter and partner to our school, recently wanted to recognize two Knights who have gone above and beyond during this school year. All faculty and staff were able to nominate one instructional and one support person who have stood out with their positivity and overall incredible spirit during this unprecedented school year.
Top names were disseminated to the staff for voting...and the winners of the beautiful certificate and monetary award were Mrs. Rachel Greene, Behavior Specialist/Teacher/Support Facilitator/SUPERHERO and Mrs. Tracy Epstein, Bookkeeper/Temporary School Secretary/Sub Coordinator/SUPERHERO!
Congratulations to these amazing Knights and so well deserved!

Ms. Durkin:
* Ms. Durkin deserves some special recognition because she is amazing and great and even though my class period is a lot to handle, she does it amazing and flawlessly. She is a great teacher and one of the reasons civics is my favorite class this year.
Mr. Rodriguez:
* He helped us get ready for the FSA and makes fun assignments for us.
Coach Jones:
* He takes the time to listen to me and everyone else he talks to. He tries harder than any other teachers I have had in the past. He is a truly phenomenal teacher. AND Coach Jones is a very sweet, humorous, and compassionate person to be around. When you're feeling down, he's always around to cheer you up with his jokes, and his wisdom.
Mr. Menard:
* He always greets us in the morning and takes into account our time to make sure we can get it done, and also keeps optimistic.

Basketball Intramurals are flowing just as smoothly as testing season here in the Kingdom and there is no better way to relieve the stress of testing than to have a little basketball fun after school. All of our teams are now halfway through their seasons. With only two weeks left of games, it is evident that teams are building positive relationships and team chemistry. Shout out to all of the participants that have been getting after it on the court every Tuesday and Thursday!
Playoffs will begin on Thursday, May 13th and the championship games will be held on Tuesday, May 18th. Playoff bracket will be distributed on Wednesday after our last regular season day of game play! Games will be single elimination.
