Congratulations to Lennard Chorus President, Braedan Lovett, for his participation in the Florida All-State Chorus. He has been selected to perform at the state level. Also, congratulations to Madison Moncrief for being selected to the All-State Honors Orchestra!  We are so proud of these individual students and their accomplishments!  Congratulations to all our band, chorus, and orchestra students for their awesome participation in the All-County competition this weekend!  Thank you to our choral director, Ms. Goldman, and our band director, Ms. Navarre, for helping to prepare our outstanding students for these events.  We are so proud of our Performing Arts programs and thank them for representing Lennard so well!

This week we will take a Dive into Literacy to celebrate Literacy Week.  Our goal is to promote the love of reading to all our students! On Monday, we want students to dive into a good book wearing school appropriate beach and cruise wear!  On Tuesday, students are invited to stop by the media center to decorate a bookmark!  On Wednesday, I am so excited for our school to be doing Literacy in the Courtyard!  After a very successful book drive, students will be able to select a book to keep from our tables set up in the courtyard!  Teachers are invited to bring their classes!  Thursday is Let’s Get “Lit”erature Day!  Don’t forget to wear your neon colors.  Lastly, on Friday, our media center will host Books to Movies Trivia.  Stop by the media center to answer trivia questions about books made into movies. Students who take a “shelfie” with one of their favorite books, post on IG, and tag @lennardmediacenter, will have a chance to win a free book.  Thank you to our media specialist, Mrs. Ross, and everyone who helped to plan such an exciting week for our students! 

Please remember to encourage your students to use the PAPER tutoring program available free through the district.  This tutoring program is available to our students 24/7 in four different languages in over 200 subjects.  I know many of our students would benefit greatly by using this program.  Please remind them to take advantage of this free opportunity.

Congratulations to our cheer team for an outstanding performance at last week’s Regional Competition at Plant City High School. This team is headed to the state competition, and we could not be any prouder of our Lady Longhorns!  All of our students continue to make me a very proud principal!

Students remember to purchase your Valentine’s Day Dance tickets before Friday, January 27th.  Tickets are available on MYPAYMENTSPLUS.COM and are $20.00.
