On Tuesday, our schools joined together for Homecoming Spirit Week and to honor the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation (Orange Shirt Day). Students and staff across LCSD wore orange to show school spirit and, more importantly, to stand in unity with the message that every child matters.




🧡 Thank you to everyone who joined us for National Day of Truth and Reconciliation & Orange Shirt Day at LCSD. In partnership with Native American Community Services (NACS), our community shared a meal, viewed a powerful documentary, took part in community circles, and closed the evening with a social dance. It was a meaningful reminder that every child matters and that reconciliation begins with awareness, compassion, and unity.
Second grader Audrey gave her fellow classmates a lesson on how her hearing aides help her. Audrey along with her hearing teacher, Mrs. Cayea also helped the students in the classroom understand what they can do to make sure Audrey can hear them!
