Gray Fire LC DECA Fundraiser

Dear families of Lewis and Clark High School, 

As you may have heard, the Grey and Oregon fires have recently destroyed parts of our community. Almost 400 homes burned. The Gray fire is known to have impacted students attending our own school.  

As a result of this unfortunate event, Lewis and Clark DECA has decided to host a fundraiser to help those impacted by the fires. We’ve already had two successful collections, one last Friday the 18th, and one today, the 22nd. We’d really like to bring it home for the last collection on the 29th.  

Donations are to be collected in each third-period class and will be matched by No-Li for Red Cross, a local initiative hosted by the likes of No-Li, KREM2, Bison Printing, Chef Chad White, and David’s Pizza, to raise money for the Red Cross. No-Li will match donations dollar for dollar for up to $25,000.  

In addition to a chance to help your community, we are also offering awards for the highest-donating third-period classes. Winning teams will have a choice between pizza, donuts, and lotuses from the Tiger Den. 

Donations: To donate, bring in any amount of cash or checks addressed to the Lewis and Clark Business Office to your third-period class. Your teacher should have an envelope to collect the donations, which we will collect on Friday.  

Thank you for helping your community, Tigs!

Sincerely, 

The DECA Officers: Marton Mezei, Victoria Gatewood, Stella Pham, Ally Page, Jenna Manske, Makenna Marshall, Hannah McLin

Advisors: Chantal Czarapata, Matthew Filippini

Learn About HBCUs

Real Talk is a virtual event series from the College Board/BigFuture for Black students and their parents. They will host a series of events starting with two nights to help students decide whether an HBCU (Historically Black College and University) or PWI (Predominantly White Institution) is right for them. These events are the perfect opportunity for students to interact directly with admissions reps and current college students!

Click here to register for these FREE events.

Tuesday, October 3, 5:00pm - HBCUs, PWIs, and You: Join us and connect directly with HBCU and PWI reps from across the country as they share real talk on selecting a college home that aligns with each student’s personality and college and career aspirations.

Tuesday, October 10, 5:00pm - The Real Tea on HBCUs and PWIs: Want to know what college life is really like at HBCUs and PWIs? Students and their families can connect with current Black students who’ll spill the tea! Don't just hear it - experience it through their stories.

Tuesday, November 7, 5:00pm - Being Black in Gaming: In celebration of the inaugural BigFuture Gaming Week, this special Real Talk career event will connect students and their families with Black trailblazers in the gaming industry. Students will learn how they can turn their love of video games into the career of their dreams!

Tuesday, November 14, 5:00pm - Being Black in Professional Sports: This week we’re connecting students and their families with Black professionals in the sports industry to hear how they transformed their passion for sports into a full-time career.

Tuesday, December 5, 5:00pm - How I Won a $40,000 BigFuture Scholarship!: BigFuture Scholarship winners and their families talk about how winning has affected their lives. Students learn what they need to do to make sure they have the same chance to be awarded $40,000!

Tuesday, December 12, 5:00pm - Let’s Talk $$$: Filling Out the FAFSA: Our trusted financial aid and scholarship experts will demystify how to fill out the new FAFSA, find scholarships, and minimize debt while students are getting their degree.

BigFuture Scholarships/College Planning

BigFuture is a FREE resource from the College Board. The site can help with scholarship searches (23,000 in their database), FAFSA, college searches, college prep, college apps, and career exploration. Completing tasks on the site also make you eligible for BigFuture scholarships.

AP College Credit Search

If you are taking an AP class and wondering what credit the exam will give you with different colleges, check out the FREE AP College Credit Search tool. Select the AP class and the tool will let you know what score you need to earn (on a 1-5 point scale) for any college you are researching.

AP/College Board Accounts

If you are enrolled in an Advanced Placement (AP) class, you will need to create or access your existing College Board account (this is only for students that have a class with "AP" in the course title). Your account will give you access to AP Classroom resources and access for ordering your AP exams (we will order exams later in September). This account is not connected to your school accounts, so you will need to save the login and password (LC teachers do not have access to your login info, so if you forgot your login info, you need to recover it on the AP website). Click here to go to the College Board website to either make sure you can access your account from last year or to create a new one if you are taking your first AP class.

PSAT Day for Juniors

On Wednesday, October 25, all Juniors will be taking the PSAT. All other grades will follow a regular Wednesday bell schedule, although some classes on the 3rd floor will take place in rooms different from where they normally are (the affected teachers will inform student about the changes the days before the test). 

Juniors will report to their assigned room by 7:50am. We are encouraging Juniors to get a good night’s sleep the night before, eat a good breakfast the day of, and remember to bring pencils, water, a snack, and a calculator if you have one to bring (we have a limited supply). Room assignments and movements will be clearly posted and communicated to students at school. Juniors will attend Lunch, 5th, and 6th period after the test.  

Running Start Juniors are all pre-registered to take the PSAT, if it works with your college schedule (there is no alternate time/day for this exam). NewTech Juniors will also stay at LC and take the PSAT. 

Why the PSAT/NMSQT Is Important? When you take the PSAT/NMSQT, you open the door to more benefits than you might think:



It connects students to more than $300 million in scholarships, including the National Merit Scholarship Program.

It's excellent practice for the SAT. Both tests measure the same knowledge and skills and ask the same types of questions, so PSAT/NMSQT takers will know what to expect on the SAT.

It's the first step to a free, personalized SAT study plan. Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy uses your PSAT/NMSQT score to create a customized SAT study plan with sample questions that focus on areas where they need help.

You will receive detailed feedback on your score to identify areas of strength and growth. 

In Spokane Public Schools, your PSAT score may be used to help recover English 9/10 and Algebra/Geometry credits you may be deficient in earning.

Registration for Saturday SATs is open (all Juniors will take the SAT for FREE in March and the PSAT for FREE in October). The SAT is $60 - register here.

The lots under the freeway directly in front of the main building and the Commons and the Field House parking garage are ONLY for LC staff and are monitored and ticketed for cars without staff permits.
