Where: Classroom, Extra-curriculars
Why: Juliana handles hard classes, friendships family, and outside activities, all while working hard on the JV cheer team. Even though she has to balance a LOT on her plate, she puts so much effort into helping out her team in cheer, and even got her back handspring which is a difficult tumbling move!

Who: Charlie Aberle
Where: Classroom
Why: Charlie worked closely with a classmate in Composition class to assist him with getting his thoughts onto paper for his college essay. I had worked with this same student a few times beforehand without nearly as much success. The student was super excited by all he had accomplished with the help of this student and Charlie even met with the student the following morning on a Wednesday to work with him on proofreading his grammar. Charlie’s own essay dealt with what he learned about helping others and it was cool to witness the authenticity of this.

Who: Ricky Myles
Where: Cafeteria, Athletics
Why: When the air horn goes off on Friday in the cafeteria it’s jolting at first, but then you know what’s coming…Ricky Myles gets on his megaphone to do shout outs to all the activities that are going on in the building that day and weekend. I can hear it from my classroom all the way down by the DMT. He did a special shout out to the Girls Tennis Team before leaving for the State Tournament on a Wednesday. He is the #1 fan of LFHS and the backbone of this building. I really appreciate everything he does for me, the staff and students. Thank you!
Message: Ricky-Thank you for rolling with it every time I ask anything of you. I know you know we are coming from the same place..what’s best for the kids. I appreciate you!! Julie Crouch
