Good afternoon, Lennox JH-HS Students, Parents and Guardians:
NO SCHOOL – SPRING BREAK - March 17 & 18
After School study Sessions
After school study sessions are on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3:30 to 4:30 each week. Students with missing work, failing grades, tutoring needs or just a quiet space to work are invited to attend.
Lennox After Prom
Prom is just around the corner. Here is your chance to help with the After Prom Party. Shoot me an email if you would like to donate to the prizes for the event. We are accepting gift cards, college swag, items for a college dorm and pretty much anything a teenager would like. Prizes can be as small as bingo prizes to a futon for a dorm. Thank you for supporting the Lennox After Prom! Melissa Daugherty melissa.daugherty@k12.sd.us
