Greetings and welcome to December! Just a reminder that our primary
reporting period for academic progress has come and gone as report
cards were distributed to students on November 25. If you have not
received a report card from your son/daughter, please encourage them
to accept the responsibility to get this important information to you. If
you require an additional copy or information, contact our office
staff. As the semester winds down, please look on our website later in
the month for the final exam schedule. Final exams take place at the
end of January.
Thank you to everyone who made November a screaming success on
the extra-curricular front. The students and staff who represented
LCHS with Athletics, Diverse, drama performances, band, Remembrance Day, and other school events, did so with pride and continue to
be great ambassadors for what we stand for at LCHS.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact us. On behalf of the Staff
at LCHS, I would like to wish each of you a
safe and happy Holiday season. Have a great
December!

The Leadership 30 class is launching the 18th Annual Rudolph’s Roundup.
Rudolph’s Roundup is a fundraiser for the Lloydminster Interval Home where
we, the Baron Nation, provide Christmas presents to a family in need. The interval home recommends women and children who would benefit from Rudolph’s
Roundup. Without your help these children would not have a Christmas. The Interval Home is a safe shelter for women and children who are in need of safety
from abusive situations. The children usually leave their homes quickly with
nothing but the clothes on their backs. By donating to Rudolph’s, you will be helping to make sure
that these children have a happy moment to remember this season.
We are asking each advisory class to adopt a family this Holiday season. We will be giving each advisory class the dynamics of one family. Each advisory class will then brainstorm and donate to
“their” family.

The Boys Volleyball season came to a close this past
weekend at Jasper Place in Edmonton. The team participated in the 4A ASAA Provincial Volleyball Championships for the 6th straight season representing the North
East Zone. The coaches would like to thank all the players for their commitment to the volleyball season and
Baron Athletics. Kuvraj Madhar, Matt Haggart and Jacob Lines need to be recognized for their three years of play as they will
be graduating this school year. Hats off to Mrs. Springer and Mr. Thomson for their time and dedication coaching the team this season. Looking
at the grade 10 and 11 players returning next year the program is in great
shape for making it back to the provincial championships in 2016.
