Students in Mrs. Mackey’s class at LHS had the incredible opportunity to learn from Indigenous Educator Perry Ground, who guided them through the traditional creation of No Face Dolls. These special dolls, crafted from corn husks, carry deep cultural meaning. In Indigenous storytelling, the absence of a face on the doll is a powerful reminder for children: it symbolizes a cautionary tale that teaches the importance of listening to elders and behaving respectfully.

🌟🇺🇸 A special shoutout to Mrs. Martin's class at Charles Upson, where students learned about the importance of Veteran's Day!

Thank you for your service and for inspiring our students! #VeteransDay #LionProud

On Wednesday night, the Varsity and JV Girls and Boys Soccer teamed up with participants from the Elk’s Club Challenger Sports of WNY for an unforgettable evening of fun and sportsmanship. This special league is open to players who face physical or mental conditions that limit their ability to participate in other competitive sports programs. The LCSD Varsity and JV soccer teams welcomed the Challenger athletes with open arms, engaging in goal shooting and skill practice, and building connections through the shared love of soccer. The evening culminated in a spirited 10-minute game, where the players—Varsity, JV, and Challenger athletes alike—showed that soccer is truly for everyone. #WeAllBelong
