Six students completed enough challenges to qualify for the National Cyber Scholarship competition held on April 5-7, 2021. The students who qualified were Kendall House, Madison Louton, Bethany Pack, Franklin Rivera, Devon Wardwell, and Evan Welch. CyberStart America is a 9-12th grade program designed to inspire the next generation of students to become cybersecurity experts and help grow America's cyber capable workforce by exploring their interests in cyber studies, learning core cybersecurity skills, and building confidence in problem solving.

You can submit a staff shoutout by clicking this link: https://lhsd.info/Staff-ShoutOuts Today, the staff shoutout is to Georgetta Deweber at the junior high: "Mrs. Deweber is the most kind-hearted, loving teacher I know. She cares deeply about every student she comes in contact with. She genuinely wants all of her kids to succeed and be the best they can be. She also is very fun to be around so it makes her students want to learn.

VACCINE INTEREST SURVEY Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson announced Tuesday that all Arkansans age 16 and above are now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. The Lake Hamilton School District is looking to host a free, voluntary, on-site vaccination clinic for all parents of LHSD students and students age 16 and older. The District will use this survey (https://lhsd.info/Vaccine-Interest-Survey) to gauge how many of our parents and students (16 and older) would like to be vaccinated if an on-site option was scheduled. Please fill out the survey if you and/or your student (16 or older) would be interested in getting the COVID-19 vaccine at an on-site clinic held at Lake Hamilton. Please note: Any student that is 16 or 17 years of age must have a parent/guardian present in order to receive the vaccine. Students who are 18 years or older may receive the vaccine without a parent/guardian present. This is not a registration form for the vaccine. This is an interest survey. The deadline to complete the interest survey is Monday, April 5, 2021. Depending on the response, the District will work to schedule an on-site clinic for those that are interested in the very near future. #LHWolfNation

LITERATURE CIRCLES 8th grade students in Mrs. McCullah's classes visited the library and did a little speed dating with books. Students spent 6 minutes getting to know their book. They continued to rotate every 6 minutes and at the end they got to choose which book that they would like to take home. #LHWolfNation #LoveOfReading #LHJH
