FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE

So the past few days gave us several remarkable opportunities to teach about “other-ing”. We learned several days ago that the Westboro Baptist Church was sending a contingent of protesters our way. Their appearances typically create significant uproar in a community; inflammatory language, derogatory signage, instigation of furor and tumult, and general ugliness are their methods of division and misery. Their appearances are also typically generative of vocal and impassioned counter-protests – understandably so. But we very much wanted to make sure that whatever happened near our campus, didn’t come onto our campus; we have a number of students who have experienced trauma and prejudice and even danger because their religion wasn’t “right” or their orientation wasn’t “sanctioned”, and it was imperative to us that our campus be safe and our operations as normal as possible. These children have been marginalized enough in their lives – we weren’t going to allow them to be “other-ed” here at school. And you all made sure that’s just what happened. You talked to your kids, and you offered support – we had cookies and well-wishes delivered all day long. And our kids were awesome. So awesome, in fact, that WBC decided to reschedule their Thursday stop to a Friday stop. They did appear today (a non-student day – go figure!) and spent the morning down the block, raging to exactly… no one. Our kids spent yesterday making signs of support and passing out treats to friends and caring for each other in big and small ways. It was a real “love wins” sort of day. Nice! Marybeth Smith, Principal

TigerFest! This is LC's largest annual fundraiser supporting all 27 clubs, sports, and activities at Lewis and Clark.

Ticket sales options for TigerFest: Online at: lcboosters.org By mail. Send a check for desired number of tickets to: LC Boosters Auction, c/o Robin Fox, 6820 S. Shelby Ridge, Spokane, WA 99224.

Price is same, but no drink tickets included.

November 6 Facility Improvement Bond Election: Voters will be asked to make three decisions by Tuesday, November 6 about building improved facilities to provide new opportunities for students and the community. Spokane Public Schools, the City of Spokane, and the Spokane Public Library have partnered to create value for the citizens they serve. Together, the city and schools measures will: Build three new middle schools and modernize three existing middle schools Build three new libraries and modernize four existing library facilities Provide input on the location for replacing the aging Joe Albi Stadium The additional and replacement middle schools give the district enough space to move sixth graders out of elementary school and into a three-grade middle school model to lengthen the time between significant transitions for students. Shifting sixth graders reduces class sizes and eases crowding at elementary schools. Additional investments will be made in safety, technology, and smaller building improvements district-wide.   A change in how Washington state funds public education is creating a $2.20 per thousand decrease in property tax rates beginning in 2019. The bond proposes reinvesting $0.98 of that reduction into schools and city libraries. More information is available at partnershipspokane.org .

COLLEGE & CAREER UPDATES

SchooLinks: We are transitioning to a new college application tracking system called SchooLinks. Students can access their account at www.lctigers.com - look for the link on the right.

FAFSA: October 1 marks an important day as it is when the 2018-19 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) opened. It is highly recommended that all LC Seniors file the FAFSA. It is the first step in getting financial aid -- including grants, scholarships, work study, and loans - from any college, technical school, or career training program. Go to to www.fafsa.gov for more information. In order to file the FAFSA, both the parent and student must first create FSA IDs. We strongly encourage you to create your FSA ID now at fsaid.ed.gov because it takes approximately 1-3 days for the FSA ID to be verified and ready to be used. See the FAFSA FAQ document attached for more information. This is an important first step prior to the official FAFSA opening date of October 1 . Get yours today!!
