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.
