Dear LCHS Families,
As we enter the month of February, we remain proud of what our students and staff are achieving. With the upcoming one-act plays, FBLA students qualifying for state, and engaging instruction taking place, we see great things happening across our building. We are making progress day by day.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend,

Project Dream is Hiring Crew Leaders!
Do you know someone who would be a great crew leader for afterschool and Friday programs? If so, Project Dream is hiring! We are looking for responsible adults to have fun teaching and playing with our students. Wages begin at $16 hourly, with bonuses for experience. If you know of anyone who would be interested, please connect them with Project Dream Director Mike Adler: madler@lakecountyschools.net 719-427-7003
Alternative to Suspension for Vaping Violations
Project Dream and LCHS are partnering to offer an alternative to suspension for students in violation of LCHS’s policies regarding the possession or use of vape products. Students facing an in-school suspension regarding vape possession or use now have the option to meet with Project Dream staff on a Friday and complete a program called Healthy Futures together. Through Healthy Futures, students learn about the facts and harms of vapes/e-cigarettes and will receive resources on how to quit vape/e-cigarette use.
While this initiative is meant to expand supportive options for students in violation of school policy, Project Dream welcomes other students considering quitting to attend these sessions. Please talk with Lana Butler, LCHS Project Dream Site Supervisor for more information (lbutler@lakecountyschools.net).
For reference, the LCHS Student and Parent Handbook contains the drugs/alcohol/tobacco/vaping policy. This program is funded through a portion of a nationwide settlement that the Colorado Attorney General received from Juul Labs, Inc. on behalf of the State of Colorado.
