Good Morning LCHS Families!
We have reached the end of a very long week, and quarter for that matter. I know everyone is very ready for spring break. Please be safe and have a restful week. Reminder, if your student has CMC classes, they must still attend those classes. School is back in session here at the High School on March 27th
Thank you,

Performing Arts Department Trip
Last week, students in HS Choir and Band classes had the opportunity to travel to Southern California to attend clinics at the University of Southern California. Both groups worked with doctoral candidates as guest conductors. They engaged in new warm-up activities, practice and feedback on musical phrasing, breath support and blending. The students worked hard as ensembles and were able to take feedback home with them that we have implemented in class this week. While we were there, we also got to spend time at the beach and see the Pacific Ocean, Disneyland, Universal Studios, the Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the Dolby Theater. Students showed a lot of maturity and stamina for a busy five days!

Middle school soccer is underway! Please note that the first game is Saturday, March 25- BEFORE we return from spring break. Check in with your coaches for more details.

Community Events
Family Movie Night
Without a movie theater or bowling alley in town, it can be hard to find something for the whole family to do on a Friday night. First Baptist Church of Leadville has a solution! On the fourth Friday of every month, we will be hosting a family friendly movie night on our giant (and we mean GIANT) screen. Due to our licensing, we are unable to publicly advertise the movie titles, but you can find out which popular movie we are showing each month by emailing church@fbcleadville.com or calling the church at 719-486-1321. Come check it out for our next movie night on Friday, March 24th at 6:00pm. You bring the family and friends, we’ll provide the popcorn!
Say Hi With A Snowman
Do you currently have snow in your area? Generation Wild Colorado is looking for volunteers to build a snowman for a patient at Children’s Hospital Colorado. Volunteers will get matched up with a patient who has a cool vision for a snow friend, and is hoping to see it come to life. All Colorado resident volunteers will be entered into a sweepstakes to win some sweet REI gear. Sign up to brighten a patient’s day today. The deadline to build a snowman is March 28. Please contact cmedrano@goco.org with any questions. #SayHiWithASnowman
