A Busy Time At LCHS
First, I need to apologize for not having made a blog entry in a while.  As you know, things at LCHS have been busy and time just got away from me.  I promise I will get back on track with my monthly entries.
I find it hard to believe that we are already in May and less than a month from graduation.  We are entering the final stretch of what has been a unique school year.  We have SOLs and exams coming up, as well as all of our typical end of the year activities.  May and June will certainly be busy months.  Please check out the calendar on our website for the dates and times of the events we have planned.
Speaking of graduation, we do have two plans in place depending on the weather.  If the forecast is for sunny weather, the ceremony will be held at the LCHS stadium at 10:00 am on Saturday, June 9th.  If the forecast calls for rain, we will have the ceremony at the Siegel Center in Richmond at 1:00 pm on Saturday, June 9th.  Letters were sent home with seniors that provided the details for each of the venues.  The final decision will be made by 9:00 am on Friday, June 8th.  I know that our seniors (and their parents) are excited about graduation and we want this important ceremony to be special and memorable.
As we near the end of this school year, we will continue to demonstrate the hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence that makes us LCHS.  Our mission is to finish the school year with the strength that saw us through all of the challenges of the year.
As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.  I can be reached at 540-894-5436 or at smithte@lcps.k12.va.us.
