Finally, in the middle school at LHPS, we are increasing concerned how advances in technology can be a great tool for our students, but also can be dangerous if not thoughtfully used. As a resource for our families we have provided an abundance of information on our school website at http://www.lhps.org/db_pages/db_page1.asp?Page=07. This information can be very helpful for parents who may have concerns regarding technology as it relates to the social and intellectual development of our students.

Middle School Parents and Students,
I hope you all had a wonderful Fall Break weekend. Welcome back!
The end of the first grading period was October 8th. First Quarter grades will be posted to Parent Connect on Wednesday, October 15th. We will not be mailing report cards home this term. We send home a paper copy at the end of each semester.
Tuesday, October 14th, is a college t-shirt day. This day is simply an opportunity for middle school students to come dressed in a college t-shirt of their choice. They may also wear denim. As a reminder, all denim wear must be in good repair, bearing no signs of excessive wear, such as holes, patches, or frayed ends. Additionally, shirts must be tucked in and belts should be worn as well. We are asking that students who wear a college t-shirt donate $1.00. The money collected goes to fund numerous student council activities.
Today during Mentor Period, Chris Crowley, District Executive for the Boy Scout Council, spoke to our middle school boys about participation in Troop 148, the Boy Scout troop sponsored by Lake Highland. One month ago, four young men from our troop achieved scouting’s highest honor when they became Eagle Scouts. With such success also comes the challenge of recruiting new boys to take the place of those who are nearing the end of their scouting careers. To follow up on today’s presentation; Troop 148 will host a Scout Night recruitment meeting for parents and boys at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, October 14th in the Lakefront Room on the LHPS Main Campus. As Lake Highland’s troop grows in numbers, so too will the boys who help to make it happen grow in stature and character.

Head of the Charles Clayton Campus
Director of the Middle School
October 3, 2008
This week, as I made my travels through the LHPS middle school, I couldn’t help but observe the excellence in teaching that is taking place in each of the classrooms. For example, in seventh grade Latin, I observed students acting out one of three skits from Stage 3: “Tonsor” (the Barber),“Pictor” (the painter), and “Venalicius (a slave dealer).
The students were fabulous! In Science, the eighth grade Bridge
Project is designed to challenge both the student’s mechanical and creative
abilities to create a bridge made out of specific materials which will exhibit
the qualities of good structural engineering.
The goal of the project is to design a bridge which will have the
greatest structural strength in comparison to its own mass (Strength to Weight
Ratio). I could go on and on and share
with you the academic brilliance occurring each day,
each class period, in each subject! If you have a few minutes, take a stroll
through our teachers’ web pages to examine the skills being taught and applied
to activities which bring about intellectual development. Learning is also taking place outside the
classroom! Last evening, our middle school football team, made up of sixty-six
LHPS boys, learned one of life’s greatest lessons. That is, even if you give
your best effort, the ball does not always bounce your way. Regardless of the
outcome, the young men were great sportsmen and lost a hard fought contest with
dignity and class. We are aiming high,
expecting much, and our students are thriving!
Our Fall Break will begin on Thursday, October 9th through Friday, October 10th. School will resume on Monday, October 13th. We hope your family will have the opportunity to enjoy a nice fall activity.
The end of the first grading period is Wednesday, October 8th. First Quarter grades will be posted to Parent Connect on Wednesday, October 15th. We will not be mailing report cards home this term. We send home a paper copy at the end of each semester.
The 7th Grade Overnight Field Trip is November 6-7, 2008. Final permission forms to Mote Marine Laboratory & Busch Gardens Extravaganza will be arriving home early next week. Please be sure to fill out the forms completely, and your child needs to return them to their science teacher by October 15th. Parent chaperones have been randomly chosen. Thanks to everyone who volunteered to be a chaperone for the trip. Those whose names were drawn have been notified.
The Middle School will present the Gilbert and Sullivan
musical “Pirates of Penzance,” Thursday, October 30th, and November
1st, at 7:00 PM, in the
As a reminder, if your family plans to travel while school is in session and your child must miss school, a Pre-Excused Absence form must be obtained from Mrs. Swope in the M.S. Office at least one week in advance. I would like to reiterate that when a student is absent they are missing valuable class lectures and assignments. Travel should not be scheduled during Final Exam Weeks in December and May. Please check dates before you make reservations.
A new wrestling club is being established at LHPS. Practice will be Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 – 7:30 PM and will be affiliated with the Florida Jets Wrestling Club.

Middle School Parents and Students,
This was another action-packed week in the middle school on the Charles Clayton Campus. The Homecoming dance was a huge success with over 300 middle school students attending the event. In Assembly this week, we had a performance by Team Impact. Team Impact reaches into the heartbeat of a community through effective school assemblies that motivate young people to make the right choices for a successful future. Beyond the breaking of the baseball bat, the ripping of the phone book in half, and the bending of the steel bar, the highlight of the performance occurred when they discussed with our young ladies and gentleman the impact of planting negative seeds when it come to the decision-making process and their responsibilities when it come to objectification of women.
As a follow up, our LHPS Fellowship of Christian Athletes invites
friends and families to attend Team Impact Night. They will be meeting
at 6:00 PM, at
