LION Faculty Awarded $35,000 in Micro Grants!

The diverse talent of our LION faculty is one of the highlights of our school. We are committed to providing outlets for faculty to foster their creativity and connect with students, staff, and families in unique ways. This goal prompted the creation of LION’s Faculty Fellowship Program, an in-house grant program administered by teachers, for teachers. Faculty Fellowships focus on projects that aim to improve student outcomes, promote teacher leadership and collaboration, and further LION’s mission. We believe that by empowering teachers with micro grants, LION will increase faculty engagement, efficacy, and innovation.

This year LION is proud to announce the funding of 11 faculty fellowships! This is the highest number of fellowships ever awarded in a single year. We are proud of all the recipients for your leadership, innovation, and dedication to LION’s mission. We can’t wait to hear the results of your projects in June!

Serving Our Pride: Sharing the Joy of Reading

Community service is an integral part of our mission at LION. In addition to regular opportunities for all staff and students to engage in community service throughout the year, all high school students are required to complete a minimum of 50 hours of community service before graduation. During the month of November, high school students launched a Gratitude Book Drive, during which they collected 150 books to donate to students across the K-12 community. After the book drive, the following students made a trip to our Elementary School to donate books in person and read to their elementary peers: Anderlis Feliz, Nylah Simmons, Heidi Brito, Mamy Ndiaye, Joselynne Ramirez, Dayanara Allen, Jaylen Praylow, Nanette Duncan, Sky Calosso, Khyllael Smith, Alex Villanueva, Arianna Alicea, Terazally Kissinger, Demi Rodriguez, Mouctar Barry, Jenna Miller, and Paris Ellison.
