US Air Force Airman Surprises Her Sister at Mt. Pleasant
The people in Lancaster City Schools have always appreciated the service and sacrifices made from the armed services. For those with family in the service, it hits a bit harder when they get to come home. For Mt. Pleasant fifth grader Elaina Irwin, seeing her sister, Airman First Class Kayla Ivory, come home from USAF Security Forces tech school was just about the best thing ever. From all of us at LCS, thank you to all the veterans who have made America what it is today.

ROX Club Spreading Throughout LCS
Last year Ewing teacher Molly DiTomasso started a local chapter of Ruling Our Experiences, or ROX, a club that uses a data-driven curriculum to help girls deal with the pressures and insecurities that plague modern teens and tweens. This year the club has spread to Lancaster High School, General Sherman Junior High, and even Mt. Pleasant Elementary, giving even more girls access to the growing community of ROX superstars!

LHS Senior Conversation: Xander Haroon
Sometimes a student finds a spark early that can set the course for the rest of his education. For Lancaster High School senior Xander Haroon, it was in fifth grade when he first met Mr. Gerken and started learning about percussion. When he's not banging the sticks, Xander is working hard in the STEM BioMed sequence, making sure that whatever he chooses, he'll be successful.

A Farewell from Kyle Lewis...
I’ll get the tough news out of the way first: this is my last newsletter as a member of the Lancaster City Schools staff. Starting in December I will be working with the Delaware-Morrow Mental Health and Recovery Services Board as the communications director and ombudsman. The newsletters will continue on a bi-weekly basis with a mix of articles, photos, and news from inside the district.
As the Content Manager for LCS I have had the opportunity to take the fantastic things that were happening inside the district and communicate them to the community. This means that one day I would be recording our award winning high school choir and the next getting video of a five-year-old making her first strides toward being a lifelong learner. The scale and scope of media that came from my office meant I was never bored.
I came to Lancaster City Schools from the world of NCAA athletics in 2011. When I told my peers that I was taking a job in public education their reactions were all pretty similar: “Won’t you miss the excitement?” It was a valid question, considering I had been spending my days working with Heisman trophy winners, future Super Bowl heroes, and Olympians. What I didn’t know then was that I was coming to work with the most dedicated, kindest, smartest, caring, and empathetic professionals and spend time with some truly wonderful kids. I haven’t missed the rush from college athletics because being part of a school district and a community like Lancaster means you’re a part of something bigger than yourself.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for your support when we came to you with a need for new schools. Thank you for accepting my family and me with open arms. Thank you for making Lancaster City Schools the place to be for learning, caring, and succeeding. And lastly, thanks for watching.
Kyle Lewis
