I
t is remarkable how quickly this first semester has progressed! As of Monday, we now only have 14 school days remaining in the 2017-2018 school year. This week and next week we are continuing with testing of certain student groups (please see below). While these assessments do not apply to every student, we encourage all of our Lions to make every possible effort to be on time and on campus over the next three weeks. It is only natural for students to be looking towards their winter break, but we want each student to have all the instructional time they can before the state exams next spring.
As for this week's issue, we have several student recognitions that I am very proud of. Between these weekly updates, please be sure to visit our school website for the very latest news throughout the week.
I hope this finds your December having opened on a very positive note and best wishes for a successful week ahead!
Sincerely,
Martha C. Chang
Principal

(Taken from press release)
 Overview

Come to our evening of one acts to see the amazing story we've created, we hope to see you there!

Monday's Motivational Moment

The Lake Nona community steps forward to help at Thanksgiving '17 . . .
Lake Nona High School would like to thank our incredible Lake Nona Community for donating Thanksgiving Baskets and Publix Gift Cards to the SAFE (Student Assistance and Family Empowerment) Program.
We were blown away by the incredible response we received and were happy to report that these generous donations allowed for the purchase and provision of over sixty (60) complete Publix Thanksgiving meals for our students and families in need. In facilitating this effort we spoke with each of these families, many of whom have been affected by this year's hurricanes, and they have requested that we extend their sincere gratitude to the community that helped them during this challenging time.
Thank you again for being a community that cares SO MUCH!

IF YOU WANT HAPPINESS
If you want happiness for an hour -
take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day -
go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year -
inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime -
help others
~ Chinese Proverb
Thank you Lake Nona community for pitching in at Thanksgiving!
