News From LCHS 08/26/2022

by fvillarreal · August 26, 2022

Hello Lake County High School Family,

I am greatly encouraged by the week we just had. Students are focused and working hard. Teachers are organized and cranking out engaging lessons that help move our kids forward. Most importantly for me, are the many acts of kindness and respect that I have witnessed over the last several days. Our community is strong and determined and it shows in the will of your students!

Beginning Piano class is being offered after school on Mondays. This is a special class supported by Bravo! Vail as an education outreach for students by the summer series that features symphony orchestra performances from the United States. Students receive specialized music instruction, books and families have access to concerts and seminars through the program. There are only 6 more spots available! Email Mrs. Cairns if you are interested ccairns@lakecountyschools.net or register here:

Full or partial scholarships are available.”

Make it a great day, or not, the choice is yours.

Thank you,

Brian Nelson

LCHS Principal

All students will receive breakfast for free and students who are eligible for free meals or reduced-priced meals will also receive lunch for free. If your student was eligible for free or reduced meals during the 2021-2022 school year, that eligibility only carries through the first 30 days of school. Each year families must complete a new Free and Reduced School Meals application. Free and reduced school meal applications are available at your student’s school office and the LCSD District Office at 328 W. 5^th, St., Leadville, CO 80461, or at www.lakecountyschools.net, under the Nutrition tab.

Athletics:

Want to see football return to Lake County High School? There will be a parent/athlete meeting on Wednesday, August 31 at 7 pm in the LCHS library. This meeting will be especially applicable for students currently in 8th-11th grades. We are also looking for adults willing to volunteer some time this fall to help the team rebuild. If you or someone you know is interested in helping, please reach out to me.

Eligibility was run on Thursday, August 25, and will be run every 2 weeks. Ineligible athletes may continue to practice, but they may not participate in competition. If your child goes ineligible and then is able to pull all of their grades up, they may email me a request to be reinstated ahead of the next eligibility date.

We have several home events next week: Middle school volleyball will be playing on Monday, August 29, starting at 4 pm in the LCIS gym. High school volleyball plays on Thursday, September 1 at 4:30 pm in the LCHS gym. High school boys’ soccer hosts Dolores Huerta at 2 pm on Friday, September 2, and the home XC meet is Saturday, September 3 at CMC. Please come out and support your teams!!
