Jacob Raczynski and Dante Turney retaught cellular respiration to Ms. Huber's Anatomy and Physiology Class Wednesday in preparation for their exam. They did an excellent job!

ROX is an evidence-based program that equips girls with the skills they need to navigate today’s challenges. In SOAR our ROX girls had their first group session today. They did the human knot. It was a lot of fun to work together!



🎨 One Thunderbird helping another!
When LCC alumna Kathleen Quirk ’64 learned that fellow Thunderbird Hayley Chambers ’25 lost her award-winning painting “All That Jazz” on its way to the U.S. Capitol, she used her talents as a writer to help share Hayley’s story.
While the original artwork is still missing, Hayley’s perseverance — and Kathleen’s support — remind us what the Thunderbird spirit is all about. 💙

The Conceptual Math class had the opportunity to attend the Superior Financial Day once again this year. The students spent the week before preparing by going through lessons about factors affecting income, deductions from income, compound interest of savings, and much more. While at the event, students learned how to pick the right college, how to handle credit cards, the benefits of compound interest, and participated in a Real Money Real World simulation.






Wishing the best of luck to Girls Tennis today! They are competing in the Sectional Tournament at UNOH!
