ENRICHMENT & ATHLETICS
Chess Team - Congratulations!
The chess players of Lycée represented themselves well at the tournament we hosted on February 15th! Thank you to Coach Kendric for your excellent leadership and for organizing this tournament along with PTO President Kristy Saunders. Lycée fielded a complete team in k-4, k-6, and k-8. The k-4 team played extremely well and was in the hunt for Top 3 spots through most of the tournament. Excellent job as a team to everyone!
Winter Athletics: 


Athletics Gear:
Spirit shirts for tennis, basketball and soccer are available at the Johnson Campus! If you are interested in purchasing a shirt for $15, please email enrichment@lfno.org and use the subject line “Soccer Spirit T-Shirt” or “Basketball Spirit T-Shirt”. Mary-Devon and Ted will be coordinating payment and distribution!


Baseball and Softball Skill Building: 
Due to the significant positive response from parents in our baseball and softball interest survey, we will be gradually integrating these new sports into the LNFO Athletics program . Baseball and softball is now open to 3rd-8th grade students! 
Sign up is reopened!  SIGN UP HERE

We are thrilled to have an enthusiastic and qualified coach, who is also the president of Little League of New Orleans, Gary Ptak. As this is our inaugural experience with these sports, this spring Gary will work with participating student athletes on developing foundational baseball and softball skills instead of fielding a full blown team. We will be working on securing facilities for the teams for the 2020-2021 school year.

While this is an athletic offering to 5th-9th grade students, it is not a league sport thus the cost will be $50 per student, in place of the $100 for league sports. Fee discounts apply. Students must complete a consent form for baseball, which you can download here: https://www.lfno.org/athletics-2/



INTRAMURAL SOCCER PRACTICE:
While Lycée’s soccer season is over, we are still offering intramural soccer in the same location that soccer was taking place all season, at the field in front of Audubon Zoo. Mathieu Kulacs is the coach. All 5th-8th students are welcome to attend and build their soccer skills for try outs next season! The intramural season will extend through March. Intramurals are from 4:25 PM-5:45 PM on Monday and Thursday afternoons.


REQUIRED FORM:
Important: In order for students to participate in any athletics activities (including try-outs), the following forms must be filled out and emailed to enrichment@lfno.org or turned into Ted Orphan, Extended Day Site Manager.
