In the last 20 years, the Foundation has invested over $3 million in educational excellence. |

SUPPORTING CORE ACADEMICS |
|
The Foundation supports all LFHS academic departments, having a wide-ranging impact on innovation in the classroom. New this year are laptops and PASCO Interfaces for Physics, scooters for Wellness, Professional iPads with Apple pencils for Art, human interface devices for Psychology and a standing grant for Business Incubator to be used during the Minimum Viable Product phase in the spring.

TRANSFORMING LEARNING SPACES & EXPERIENCES |
|
During it’s 20-year history, the Foundation has helped transform numerous learning spaces to support collaboration & innovation. This year’s grants include a new active classroom for Wellness and intelligent moving lights for the Theatre Department. Prior grants include the Business Incubator classroom, Science Labs, Maker Space, Sound Studio in the Library and more.

|
Active Classroom For Wellness
Wellness for Life teacher Cat Catanzaro will create an active classroom, with the goals of inclusion, collaboration, increased movement, and connection. The Foundation will purchase a Moving Minds Active Seating Pack, mobile collaborative tables, and a set of Mo-Ball Stability ball chairs.
|
Intelligent Moving Lights
The LFHS Foundation is excited to collaborate with PALS and the LFHS APT to purchase 4 SloaFrame 100 Intelligent Moving Lights along with the necessary cables and safety clips for the Theatre Department. These lights are a great tool for lighting design for any stage production from concerts to plays, musicals and the Talent Show.
|
“These lights will allow us to showcase different parts of the theater. They also open up options for new and exciting shows because we can project objects we may not be able to build.”
Georgia Sottosanto-Sorenson,
LFHS Junior

Physics Laptops
In partnership with District 115, the Foundation will fund 25 13-inch MacBook Air laptops for the Physics Department. These machines will increase the flexibility of lab configurations in the classrooms. When combined with the Pasco Interfaces, and previous grants including mobile lab furniture, projectile launchers, and airtracks, the experience students access in Physics is significantly enhanced and enriched.

|
PROVIDING TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENTS |
|
Technology keeps evolving – and so do the Foundation’s contributions to state-of-the art tools. New this year is turn-key video production for live streaming school events, an iPad lending library, funded in partnership with the LDA for the Special Education Department, a poster printer for the Business Department, and a piano microphone and keyboard amplifiers (co-funded with Applause) for the Music Department.
