ROBOTICS TEAM QUALIFIES FOR NATIONALS |
Four LT Robotics teams performed exceptionally well at the recent Illinois VEX State Championships. At one point in the tournament, all four LT teams - Peach Mango, C of Spades, The Juice Bots and Baby Drivers - ranked among the top 7 teams during the qualification matches.
Baby Drivers was one of two teams standing at the end of the elimination rounds and won the entire tournament. They also won the Amaze Award, which is given to the team with an amazing, well rounded and top-performing robot. Baby Drivers will advance to the Live Remote VEX Robotics World Championship in May.
LT’s Robotics Club is just four years old, yet this is the second consecutive year a team has advanced to national competition. Three of four years, at least one LT team has competed at Worlds.
Congratulations to winning Baby Drive team members seniors Mason Ownby, Brendan Hall, and Kevin Rife.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR WELLNESS DAY MAY 5 |
On Wednesday, May 5, LT will convert a Lion Day into our very first Student Wellness Virtual Conference. Attendance is expected. Students will set aside their textbooks to attend sessions on topics of wellness.
Topics span from mental and physical health to strategies for facing adversity. Presenters include a University of Minnesota professor discussing adolescent nutrition and its impact on wellness and community-based mental health professionals discussing a variety of mental health and wellness topics, yoga and Pilates. Mindfulness presenters will teach students ways to physically support their own wellness. The day will end with a mindfulness session for all students and staff, led by PE staff and a group of students, with time to reflect on the challenges faced and feel connected and empowered to end this year on a positive note.
Providing a healthy and supportive school environment and building students’ social, emotional, and wellness skills are essential to our students’ success. The Student Wellness Conference is not only a way to build community, but also a way to build those skills.

DINNER DANCE
RE-INVENTED
|
While we have been able to resume many in-person events over the course of this school year, the activities associated with the annual LTHS Dinner Dance are not conducive to the current social distancing requirements. As a result, this year’s Dinner Dance will not be held in its typical fashion. Instead, those students finishing 12th grade will continue to have the opportunity to participate in the LTHS commencement ceremony for the entire graduating class, and students who have exited or will be exiting Transition programming this school year are invited to attend a ceremony to recognize their accomplishments in Transition.
A link to the ceremony video will be shared with LTHS students, families, and alumni who would have otherwise been invited to attend the Dinner Dance.
