The warm weather is here, and with it comes a busy month for
LCHS! Academic progress continues to be our primary focus for the
month of May. Report cards were distributed to students on April 27th
and indicate progress to date. If you have any questions, or require a

student services department for further assistance. Our final exam block
schedule will also be posted in the next week. See our website for additional information later in the month.

News from the Band Room!
April was a busy month with festival preparation, musical rehearsals, and planning
for our annual LPSD “Just Jazz” fundraiser night.
Both the Grade 10 Wind Ensemble and
the Grade 11/12 Symphonic Band performed in the Lloydminster Kiwanis Music
Festival on April 20th. The bands were
adjudicated by Wayne Toews from Saskatoon and performed well. Special thanks
to the parents that were able to attend
and support us.
The Grade 11/12 Symphonic Band traveled to Sun Peaks, BC for the Cantando
Festival on April 21-24. The students performed at Marion Schilling Elementary School in Kamloops before spending the weekend at the festival. The ensemble performed very well on Saturday
afternoon and was adjudicated by Christin Reardon MacLellan from the University of British Columbia. Evening concerts included performances by Fringe Percussion Ensemble from Vancouver
and the Vancouver Youth Choir. Special thanks to our trip chaperones- Bryan and Sherry Watt
and Carmela McDonald and our student bus loaders- Samuel Scribante, Ryan Hatchard, and
Brendan Meger for their hard work during the trip.
Tickets are still available for the upcoming LCHS Musical “Zombie Prom” May 9-12 and our annual LPSD “Just Jazz” Night on May 6th. Contact Mrs. Oberg for more info and tickets.
Special thanks to all students, parents, and staff that helped support our last fundraiser campaign of the year with In-Dey-Go baking products. Look for LCHS Band Students at bake sales

Drama Club – LYT (LCHS Young Thespians)
The LCHS Spring Musical is coming!!! Zombie Prom runs from Monday, May 9th – Thursday, May 12th.
Tickets are selling fast get yours by emailing Mr. Stang or talking to any cast member!
Zombie Prom is a girl loves ghoul, rock and roll, Off -Broadway musical set in the atomic 1950s at Enrico
Fermi High School, where the law is laid down by a zany, tyrannical principal named Ms.Strict. Pretty senior
Toffee has fallen for the class bad boy, Jonny Warner, but family pressure forces her to end the romance, and
he charges off on his motorcycle to the nuclear waste dump. He returns glowing and determined to reclaim
Toffee's heart. He still wants to graduate, but most of all he wants to take Toffee to the prom. The principal
orders him to drop dead while a scandal reporter, Eddie Flagrante, seizes on him as the freak du jour. History
comes to his rescue while a tuneful selection of original songs in the style of 50s hits keeps the action rocking
across the stage. Don’t miss LCHS’ Production of ZOMBIE PROM.
If you have any questions about any of the shows OR are looking for tickets, feel free to contact Mr. Stang
directly at simon.stang@lpsd.ca
