LC Tiger Drama Presents "Our Town"

LC Tiger Drama Presents "Our Town". Please join us on March 11 at 7:00pm and March 12 at 2:00pm in the historic LC Auditorium.

Described by Edward Albee as "the greatest American play ever written," Our Town presents the small town of Grover’s Corners in three acts: "Daily Life," "Love and Marriage" and "Death and Eternity." Narrated by a stage manager and performed with minimal props and sets, the play depicts the simple daily lives of the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually – in one of the most famous scenes in American theatre – die.

LC Tiger Fund Scholarship

The Lewis & Clark Tiger Fund Scholarship was started by the Class of 1966 in 2006 in order to recognize an LC senior who has overcome personal and/or life difficulties and has made a commitment to furthering his/her education after graduation from Lewis & Clark High School. We know that there are many students who have potential for college success but often get over looked for scholarship assistance because their G.P.A. did not exceed a 3.5 minimum required for scholarship consideration. We also know that character and desire to improve play a large part in future success in school and life.

Two scholarships will be awarded in 2022; one for $2500 and one for $2000. Download the app here.

Applicant Qualifications:

1. Applicants must be a LC Senior graduating in 2022.
2. Must have a verifiable financial need that would make it difficult to pursue a college or university education without monetary assistance.
3. Must have had a personal life challenge/difficulty that they have overcome.
4. Must have a cumulative grade point average between 2.5 and 3.49.

Procedures:

1. Applicants must meet all of the above qualifications.
2. Must complete the LC Tiger Fund Scholarship application form.
3. Must attach a copy of their official transcript with the application.
4. Must attach a personal essay – see application for details.
5. Must attach two letters of recommendation - see application for details.
6. Must mail all documents to the Selection Committee Chairperson no later than April 30, 2022 – see application for mailing address.

Notification: Upon selection, the recipients of the 2022 LC tiger Fund Scholarships will be notified of his/her award via a personal letter and will be recognized at the Move-Up Con in June if that event will be held this year. The scholarship funds will be released to the student’s college or university upon verification of enrollment in the Fall 2022 college term.

SAT Saturday Exams

If you are interested in taking the SAT, here are the scheduled opportunities for the rest of the year. LC will be one of the testing sites you can select when you register through the College Board here. The SAT exam is $55 (all payments are through the College Board, not LC).

Financial Aid (FAFSA) Opens Soon!

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) opened October 1. It is highly recommended that all LC Seniors file the FAFSA - it is FREE to file. 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 because it takes approximately 1-3 days for the FSA ID to be verified and ready to be used. Get yours today! Learn more about FAFSA at 101: FAFSA

Student and Parent/Visitor Parking

Parent/Visitor Parking: LC does not have designated visitor parking, so you can park at any of the metered spots across the street. For after-hours events, you can park for free in any of the parking lots under the freeway. The doors to the Commons building are handicap accessible.

Student Drop-off/Pick-Up: Before and after school, 4th Avenue in front of LC is a busy place with school buses and parents competing for limited space. In order to help alleviate congestion, we recommend that parents drop off and pick up students either on 5th Avenue, 3rd Avenue or a block east or west of LC on 4th Avenue. It is important to not park (even for a drop off) in the bus zones.

Student Parking: LC students can park in the two freeway lots (in front of the Field House and in front of the church to the east). Be sure to display your student parking permit to avoid getting a ticket in the student lots. Student parking permits can be purchased in the Business Office for $5. The lot directly in front of the main building and the parking garage are only for LC staff and are monitored for cars without staff permits.

Parent Involvement

We would love for parents to join our Tiger support organizations!

We will list all parent meetings in the calendar at the top of each LC News and on www.lctigers.com.

• LC Boosters - athletic and activity support
• LC IMPA - band, choir, orchestra parents
• LC STAGE - theatre parents
• LC SAN - Senior All-Nighter parents

Masks

All students, staff, and visitors must wear masks that cover the mouth and nose at all times while in the building. Disposable surgical masks, 2-3 ply fabric masks, and 2-ply gators are all appropriate. Mesh/knitted masks are not appropriate. We have disposable masks for students who forget to bring one from home.
