Last week Lockport High School inducted more than 200 students into eight subject area honor societies. Students received faculty nominations and met the requirements of the individual honor societies. Also at the ceremony, 41 juniors received junior awards from various colleges, universities and organizations. Some of these awards include the opportunities for scholarships ranging in value from $1,000 - $30,000 if the student chooses to apply to that institution. Congratulations to all!

Lockport High School Spanish Club held their annual Cascarones celebration after school last week.

Cascarones are colorful egg shells filled with confetti and covered on the open end with tissue paper. The tradition is popular in parts of Mexico during Easter, Carnival, weddings and other special fiestas. Students collected, colored, and filled the eggs, which were then distributed on the front lawn of the school. After the hunt for the eggs, they are broken on each other's head, in a symbol of showering each other with love.

Staff and Student Appreciation Post!

Last week, George Southard held their monthly Lion Leader Award Ceremony, recognizing our youngest lions who make mighty acts of leadership and kindness! Not only did we celebrate our little ones, Mr. Hiller and Mr. Murray also awarded Ms. Tammy, the lead chef at George Southard with a special recognition. Not only was it her birthday over the long weekend, it was time to tell her (very publicly) how much she is appreciated! From learning our kiddos names and food preferences to always making sure our students are nourished and satisfied, Ms. Tammy and her crew play an important role at George Southard!

Last week, The Habibi Trio helped us celebrate Arab-American Heritage Month. While the band traveled throughout our schools and performed mini concerts for our students, these photos are from Lockport High School West where our students joined in on songs and kept talking about their unique sound even after the performance! The Habibi Trio blends unique instruments, soulful Arabic melodies, and intricate rhythms to take listeners on a captivating journey to teach about Arabic jazz and world grooves. They use a mix of percussion, viola, keyboards, and the oud.
