LAST WEEK'S PARENT CLUB MEETING
Thank you to those who came to our second-to-last Parent Club meeting of the year. We had a great turn-out!
Congratulations to our new slate of Parent Club Officers!
MENTAL HEALTH: WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW
Presented by the LJHS Parent Club and Shattering Stigma with Stories
THIS Saturday, May 5, 9am - 1pm, at LJHS
Anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges can happen to our kids or to their friends. It can be hard to understand or know how to help. Join us for this half-day conference to learn more about kids and depression, anxiety, thoughts of suicide and other mental health issues kids may face, as well as what to look for and how to get help. Panel discussion and sessions will be led by professionals from three different Lake Oswego-area clinics as well as school district personnel.
Areas of focus will include:
LJHS STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK
May 7-11
Please show your appreciation for our “Sun-sational” teachers, staff, and administrators by signing up to bring them food or drinks during the week. This year they will experience a sun-filled week of food and treats! Our hospitality team coordinates the theme and donated goods for the week. Can you help? Your efforts will be most appreciated!
