Seniors Collect More than 2,000 Books for Reading Partners
The book drive, sponsored by the senior class, was a huge success, resulting in the collection 2,268 books to donate to Reading Partners of North Texas! Kindergarten through 12th grade participated in the drive. Fourth grade was the winner with 580 books! These books will help children across the city of Dallas improve their reading skills so that they can read at their grade level. The staff at the Reading Partners office was thrilled with the contribution. "We are so grateful to everyone at Lakehill for ensuring that our students will have books to read over the summer," said Telesa Walton, Community Engagement Director at Reading Partners. The senior class thanks everyone for their participation in such a great cause!

National Junior Honor Society Highlights Lakehill's Soon-to-be Graduates
In an effort to reveal the hidden talents, personalities, and accomplishments of Lakehill's most experienced students, the National Junior Honor Society presents:
NJHS Spotlight on Seniors
This week's senior: Kevin Lantz
Kevin Lantz has been at Lakehill since ninth grade and has enjoyed his four years here. During that time, Kevin has contributed to the athletics program by playing baseball, football, and running track. He is most proud of fighting through many injuries during all four of his football seasons, where he was also a Varsity captain in his senior year.
Kevin has held several leadership positions, including Vice President of the National Honor Society.
Kevin looks forward to finishing high school with a strong GPA and spending his last summer before college with his friends and family. He plans to attend Indiana University at Bloomington to study Athletic Training and Kinesiology.
Kevin's favorite musical artists are Childish Gambino and Sam Hunt. His hobbies include playing sports, watching movies, and hanging out with his friends.
The greatest honor Kevin has ever received was getting chosen to give a speech about his grandfather's experience in the Vietnam War at a Veterans Day Ceremony in Southlake.
