Post date: Dec 6, 2016 1:28:31 PM
It was wonderful to see so many students and parents at the Tree Lighting last week. The wonder on the children’s faces when Santa arrived was wonderful to behold. Many thanks for supporting the Student Council and the Scouts with donations. The evening was filled with great music from the LHS Marching Band along with ample amounts of good will and holiday cheer.
