The Fellowship of Christian Athletes Club is collecting items to send in shoe boxes, as Christmas gifts, to children in need around the world.  Requested items are:  personal items (toothbrush, paste, combs etc.), school/art supplies (no liquids), toys (no toy weapons), candy items (no chocolate).  We will have collection boxes set up during all four lunch shifts through the rest of the week.  Please help us make someone’s Christmas special by donating item(s) from the categories listed above, or you may make a financial donation to cover the cost of shipping.  Thank you!

Lancers, here’s a chance to spread your love of reading!  The LHS Drama Department is holding a Book Drive through November 22nd. Bring in your new or gently used children’s books to the donation box in the front office, or to the donation box at showings of Elephant and Piggie: We Are In a Play!  All books will go to the Maryland Book Bank in Baltimore.

Are you interested in marine biology or conservation?  Would you enjoy meeting people from all over the world?  If so, you may want to volunteer at the National Aquarium in Baltimore this summer.  Applications are now being accepted for summer volunteers.  Stop by room C101 to pick up an application.  See Ms. Radil-Harris or Mr. Brown for more information.

If you have an interest in science, engineering, or math, and would like to earn $3,300 this summer, consider applying for the Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program (SEAP).  You would spend eight weeks learning to do research in a Department of Navy laboratory, such as the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division or the Navy Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C.  This opportunity is available to students in grades 9-12, including graduating seniors.  See any science or math teacher, Ms. Radil-Harris, or Mr. Brown for more information.
