From the Principal—Chad E. Scaling
Each year, I ask one of our students to reflect on their experience at SLHS and share
some insight to incoming students. I thought I would share her article in our final
newsletter of the year. Enjoy!
Leaving Your Legacy
Success isn’t just what you accomplish in your life. It’s about what you inspire others to do.
Unknown
What do you think of when you think of South Lyon High School? Do you think of our latest
M-STEP score?...the football team?...our graduation rate? I believe we are often defined by those
aspects of our school. While we are proud of those accomplishments, there is more to our students than
their GPA, class ranking, athletic achievement, etc.
We were fortunate enough to have Mike Smith join the students of SLHS on March 7th. He
spoke to the 9th and 10th grade classes in the auditorium while the presentation was streamed to the rest
of the classrooms. Mike is a motivational speaker that is able to connect with people of all ages. During
his presentation, he explained the importance of being kind to one another, noticing the invisible
student, building a positive school culture, and leaving a legacy. His words were inspirational and
pushed us to make a difference.
As president of student council and a student leader, I was inspired by Mike Smith’s message.
It made me take a step back and reflect on my achievements and the achievements of our student body.
At South Lyon High School I do believe we are leaving behind a legacy that entails more than a GPA.
We are working to establish a school community that is safe, supportive, and empathetic. We have
instilled programs such as PRIDE (Positive Role Models Intended to Deliver Success), which matches
incoming freshmen with senior and junior mentors. These mentors serve as positive role models for
new students throughout their entire high school career. Our PEERS (Positively Empowering and
Encouraging our Students) program connects our cognitively impaired students with general education
students. CHUM (Caring, Understanding, Helpful Mentors) allows for a general education student to
eat lunch with a special education student. This allows for relationships to grow and connections to be
made.
Throughout the year we focus on giving back as well. Penny wars (Jacob Michael David
Foundation), Toys for Tots, The Joy of Sox, Kids Against Hunger, Teens for Jeans, Bottles for Families
in need, and the blood drive are just some of our fundraisers . In conjunction with Mike Smith’s
presentation, Student Council introduced DUDE. Be Nice. week. We sold t-shirts which students wore
for Black Out Bullying Day, collected socks for the homeless, celebrated an underappreciated staff
member (Ray Bisio, our parking lot attendant), and held daily activities such as Random Acts of
Kindness Day, Mix it Up Day, and Diversity Day.
The community will always know us for our 92% percent graduation rate, our successful athletic
teams, and our test scores. This is understandable because this is what is highlighted in the annual
report and local newspaper. But I want the community to remember that South Lyon High School is
more than our statistics. Although we are proud of these accomplishments, this is not our legacy. We
should be remembered as a student body that made a difference in our community, our high school, and
our student body. At the end of the day we should all recognize that our lives are not ordinary. Each one
us matter. And what we doing with our lives will boil down to one question: What do you want your
legacy to be?

CHOIR NEWS
On Saturday, April 16, South Lyon High School’s Lyon Singers performed at the
annual High School Invitational Choral Festival at Eastern Michigan University.
The advanced, mixed-voice ensemble, under the direction of Mr. Andrew
Hathikhanavala, was invited to be a part of the day-long event, which included
workshops and masterclasses led by Dr. Brandon Johnson from EMU and Dr.
Kristina MacMullen from Ohio State University and performances by several of
EMU’s choirs. An evening concert was held in Pease Auditorium, where the Lyon
Singers performed five songs by themselves and enjoyed performances from other
high school choirs, including Clarkston High School, Plymouth Canton Educational Park, and Ann Arbor
Skyline High School. The concert ended with two choral selections that brought together the four participating
high schools and the choirs from Eastern Michigan University. “I was thrilled to be a part of such an amazing
day of music at EMU! It was especially exciting for me to bring my students to a campus and performance
space that was unfamiliar to them and watch them flourish as they interacted with other high school and
college singers,” said Mr. Hathikhanavala. Nick Masters, a Junior, added that “it was really fun to be able to
sing with all of those other choirs. Performing with singers that you don’t know can be one of the greatest
learning experiences.” Abby Macchiarolo, also a Junior, thought it was “great to be able to sing with college
level students and get a feel for what they get to experience every day.” Mr. Hathikhanavala was very grateful
that his choirs were selected for this event and he looks forward to future collaborations with other high
schools and universities.
The South Lyon High School Choirs will perform their spring concert on Thursday, May 26 at 7:00pm in the
SLHS auditorium. Admission is free.
The Lyon Singers performed five
songs during the evening program.
The four participating high schools
combined with Eastern’s choirs for
three joint selections to end the
evening concert.

BAND/CHOIR NEWS
The SLHS Choirs and Bands traveled to Toronto and Niagara Falls from April 4-7 during
Spring Break. The packed itinerary included visits to Ripley's Aquarium, the CN Tower,
the Ed Mirvish Theatre, the Hockey Hall of Fame, Casa Loma, Niagara Falls, a dinner
and sightseeing cruise, a three-hour guided Toronto tour, and watching a performance of
the musical "Kinky Boots" at the Royal Alexandra Theatre. Students also participated in
an hour-long clinic and workshop led by choir and band professors from the University of
Toronto, where they perfected their musical selections for a special performance at the
Royal Ontario Museum. The trip was a resounding success and a valuable experience,
bringing together SLHS music students in travel and music-making!

ROBOTICS CLUB
FIRST's 2016 game, Stronghold, has been an absolute blast to watch. It's design
challenges were unique, and the Stronghold game produced a diverse field of creative designs to
play the game. So many different and wonderful strategies and robots came from this game. The
vision challenge was actually really meaningful and impactful this year. The finals were exciting at
both the district/regional and championship level. The game was complex and nuanced, yet I could
still explain it to someone in a couple sentences. This game will be remembered as getting on that
batter in the last 20 seconds. While it sounds simple enough, many teams would have won a match, but failed to get all of their
teammates on the batter so they ended up losing. You could outplay the opponents the entire match and lose it all in the last second. In
my mind, FIRST Stronghold was a gleaming success for FRC, and for our team, 3641, The Flying Toasters.
As usual, our team continues to exceed the previous year's successes, as well as attain many "firsts" for our team. This year
we as a team participated at a district competition without being a competitor. Our invaluable machine shop skills and volunteering not
only helped others, but helped us understand the game better. We were finalists and won the Chairman's at the same time at an event
(Skyline). Our record in our short six years is an impressive (3) Chairman's awards, (4) trips to State Championships, (3) attendances
at World Championships, (3) times as District finalists, (1) District Winners, Champions at MARC, and the list goes on. Quite a bit for a
young team to learn it on their own (not be a spin off of an older team but a new start up all by themselves). A testament to our
students, staff and district!
World Championships was spectacular. Not only did we have exposure to many teams world wide, but seeing all the
diversity was awe inspiring. Our gracious professionalism, "we over me", could be seen everywhere as people not only celebrated in
other's successes, but would descend on the broken robots to quickly get them ready for another grueling match
play. Networking, Friendships, and many contacts were forged.
Going in to our last qualification match we were all set to finish fourth in ranking, putting us in a good position. It was going to be an
easy match. But that was not to be the case. Right at the start, one of our alliance partners got hung up on the portcullis and was
tipped over. We tried to free them, but our easy 4 qualifying will was fading fast to a bad loss which would have dropped us to 28th
rank. Moving on to at least reach enough points to get 1 qualification point, our other alliance partner went to assist the tipped over
robot. One touch, and the field element tipped over stopping the game. Because the filed element fell over, they had to repair it and
restart the match. What luck! the restart went much better for us and we were looking at making our 4 qualification points when
the alliance who had tipped over now broke down. Hurriedly, we pushed them aside, breached the defenses, and took the tower. But
since they couldn't make it back to capture the tower we only got 3 qps and not the fourth we wanted. We finished 9th. What a
Match! By the way, we did help fix their robot after the match.
We made it through the Quarters with ease, but fell just short a few points shy to make it out of Semi finals.
Is this the end for our team? Maybe the end of the beginning, but there is still one more top competition to go – IRI (Indiana
Robotics Invitation) and we have over 10 weeks to get ready.
You have to apply and they review your credentials, your performances, and planned upgrades and only the best of the best are
invited. Last year over 400 applied and only 72 were invited (and yes we have been there twice 2013 & 2015).

KEY CLUB NEWS
Recently, South Lyon High School Key Club has successfully completed our annual blanket
making event for Mott Children’s Hospital. This years event was a great success, and we
made around ten blankets that went to provide comfort to kids staying at the children's hospital. We raised money for the event by collecting it at the boys and girls basketball games
against East during halftime. This “Miracle Minute” raised enough to buy all of our supplies needed for the
blankets. We had our own Key Clubbers personally deliver the blankets to the hospital. In order to celebrate
a great year and a very successful event, SLHS Key Club put on a pizza party for all of its members.
Key Club sponsored “Teens for Jeans” fundraiser in
each teacher’s 1st hour class. Ms. Kristine Andreski’s
class took first place and Mr. Todd Goshorn’s class
came in a close second. A total of 287 pairs of jeans
were collected for this cause.
South Lyon Kiwanis and groups from South Lyon High School (Key Club,
Student Council and National Honor Society) and South Lyon East (Key Club)
got together on March 1 to fill bags with food for Kids Against Hunger. The
gathering at South Lyon High saw about 70 students work for a couple of
hours to fill as many one-meal bags as they could
in that time. Some of the food will go overseas for
disaster relief measures and some will stay here
in America for needy citizens.
Key Club plans to do this activity again next year
and possibly expand the amount of meals they
package, as well as inviting more clubs to
participate in the activity. They are hoping to do
this activity between the Fall and Winter Sports
seasons in the 2016-17 school year.

STUDENT COUNCIL NEWS
Mike Smith, a motivational speaker, came to our building on Monday, March 7th. Mike spoke to our 9th and
10th graders in the auditorium and his presentation was streamed to the rest of the classrooms. Mike spoke on
issues such as judgment/stereotyping, finding the 'invisible' students in your school, advocating for change, and
leaving behind a legacy. He is an incredibly powerful and motivating speaker. It was be a great experience
for our students. Our student council designed some school spirit activities that week that supported Mike's
message, "Dude, Be Nice!", i.e.
 Random Acts of Kindness Day: Sticky note compliments around
the school,
 Mix It Up Day: Do something out of your comfort zone,
 Diversity Day: Fun facts around the school,
 Black-Out Bullying: Entire school wears black or "Dude Be Nice"
t-shirts which were made available for purchase.
"Dude Be Nice" t-shirts were sold for $15 during all lunches. Finally,
student council held a service project all week to collect new socks for
the homeless, which links with Mike Smith's mission.
On April 25-29, Student Council hosted Autism Awareness Week Activities, culminating with the Staff vs.
Student Volleyball Game on Friday, April 29. Each student was asked to donate 25 cents to attend the
volleyball game with proceeds being given to the PEERS group to donate to an organization of their choice.
The PEERS group is setting up an account to support students at SLHS with disabilities, either on an individual
basis (ex. Funds to support summer camp) or to help purchase items in the classroom (apps, educational
games, noise-cancelling headphones, supporting students/families and even teachers to help support their
learning while at school. The student donations raised approximately $700, in addition to the PEERS program
raising close to $1,000 in wristband sales.

DRAMA NEWS
The 50-plus SLHS students participating in The Addams Family, A New Musical, have been
hard at work learning lines, gathering props, rehearsing music & dance moves, and making final
preparations for the upcoming production. The musical opens on May 12 and runs for two
weekends.
The show is a playful look at family life, Addams-style. Teenagers grow up and parents wonder
where the time went – a universal theme. Family tradition struggles to remain relevant in this
time of rapid change and relationships are tested and strengthened in surprising ways. All
this happens with a slightly offbeat, dusky and loving flavor.
Tickets for this wonderful family-friendly production can be
purchased from any company student, or through the
slhstheatre.com website. Ticket price is $10 in advance. At
the door pricing is $12 per ticket.
Show dates:
 TH – SAT May 12 – 14 @ 7pm. SUN May 15 @ 2pm.
 TH – SAT May 19 – 21 @ 7pm. SUN May 22 @ 2pm.
Join the Addams Family for an entertaining evening –
they would love to meet you!!

High School Transcripts
Students may request to have their transcripts sent electronically to colleges or scholarship organizations. Electronic orders are placed
through Parchment at www.parchment.com, creating an account and then following the instructions to place your order. In most cases,
there is no charge for this service. (If you receive notice that there is a fee associated with sending transcripts electronically to your
selected college, then you do have the option of having your transcripts mailed—select the “US Mail” option within the Parchment website.)
Seniors—Final Transcripts: If you will be attending a college/university following graduation, there are two important things to do:
1) Inform Mrs. Krueger (in Student Services) where you will be attending, and 2) place an order through Parchment to have your final
transcript sent electronically to your school. Final transcripts won’t be available until after June 24, 2016; however, you may place
your order in Parchment now. You will place your order ‘on hold’ by selecting the “Hold for Grades” option. Orders will be processed
once final grades have been posted. Ordering and sending transcripts in this manner ensure that transcripts are sent as efficiently and
quickly as possible and in the format preferred by colleges.
Seniors—College Decision: Please notify Students Services once you’ve decided your path beyond high school (i.e., which college you will be attending or what other plan you have made).
REMINDER: You MUST place a transcript order through Parchment if you want
your final transcript sent to a college/university following graduation.
Seniors—Scholarship Awards: If you learn you have been awarded a scholarship by a private organization or the college you will
attend in the fall, Student Services wants to hear from you! Please let us know the name of the scholarship, the sponsoring college or
organization, the amount of the scholarship and whether it’s renewable. The dollar value of your scholarship will be added to the total
value of all scholarships awarded to the SLHS Class of 2016 and is announced at Senior Honors Night and at Commencements.
Please provide this information to us by May 6, 2016. You may do so by:
 Stopping in the Student Services/Counseling office (located on the first floor, G-wing) and filling out a blue scholarship form,
 Calling 248-573-8160, or
 Emailing this information to Mrs. Krueger (kruegerc@slcs.us)
As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to stop by or call the Student Services/Counseling office (248-573-8160). The
office is open weekdays from 7am-3:30pm.
