Inspiring a Community of Pioneers to Higher Levels of Learning

A s many of you know, Lehi is participating in a self evaluation in conjunction with our accreditation process. As a part of this self evaluation we are looking for a group of parents to participate in a focus group with the purpose of giving the school feedback in various areas. We have scheduled this focus group for Jan 11 from 11:00-1:00 . We anticipate getting great feedback from parents, who bring us a different and needed perspective of our school.

If you are interested in participating in this focus group please email John Hanks at jhanks@alpinedistrict.org

Jazz Bear shopping:

Juniors and Seniors of LHS are invited to participate in this year's Jazz Bear Shopping Day, December 17th at Skyridge High School.

This year you will need a ticket & Student Id to be admitted into the event. Sign-ups will be held in the front office. Students will need Student ID to sign up. Tickets are limited, so sign up now!

The sports marketing class helped with this year's Mascot Bowl, which raised enough money to take 150 little children on a Christmas shopping spree, and we need you to be "shopping buddies."

Student Council collecting

Toys for Primary Children's

Please bring new toys and put them in the boxes under the tree in the commons. These Toys will be donated to primary children's hospital.

Girls Volleyball Team

Helping refugees

As many of you already know, Utah takes in over 1,100 refugees every year. The Refuge services office in Salt Lake is putting together a girl's volleyball league. The refugees coming to Utah have gone through very traumatic experiences, and face more challenges daily as they try to become accustom to life here. Volleyball would allow them to be a part of a team, and not only provide growth of their confidence in themselves as athletes, but more importantly as members of the Utah community. Because of their lack of skill, they do not feel confident to go out for their school teams. The hope is that will change in the future.

I f you would like to donate any of the following to help this program please let me know!

knee pads
water bottles
shoes
sweats, socks
gym bags
Spandex
Any other volleyball gear/equipment

Athlete of the Week

Bryanna Raff has led the girls basketball team so far in rebounding with 34 in the first 5 games of the season. In addition to rebounding, she has knocked down 2 3-pointers and is shooting 60% from the free throw line. Defensively she is one of our most aggressive forwards having 5 deflections and 3 steals so far this season. Bry is a leader for us on the court in so many communication aspects and is a leader in the classroom. Congrats Bry!

Athlete of the Week

Jesus Escobar worked hard this week during practice and as a result had a fourth place finish in the tournament this last weekend. He strives hard to be the best he can be both on the mat and in the classroom.
