Lumpkin County High School FBLA partnered with FFA and hosted a district-wide food drive for the holidays. Schools partnered to raise 2775 cans of food to donate to the local food banks just in time for Christmas. The top collecting classroom at each school was rewarded with a pizza party or donut party. Top classrooms: Cottrell Elementary - Ms. McCrary, Long Branch Elementary - Mrs. Cromer, Blackburn Elementary - Mrs. Kingsbury, LCMS - Ms. Nichols, and LCHS - Mrs. Zdroba. What an amazing difference we can make when we come together!
FCA Begins a Blanket Fundraiser!
Culinary Classes donated 200 cookies to the Dahlonega Women's Club for the annual Christmas market. Students baked and boxed all of the cookies. This will definitely keep these students on Santa's "nice list"!
We are so excited to begin a new program in the LCHS Media Center in January 2024! When we return we will collaborate with Ms. Sosebee's and Mr. Maloney's students and "Adopt-a-Plant" in the MC. Students will choose a plant, "adopt" it, care for it throughout the semester, and take it home in May.
To make this happen, Ms. Bell and I have been propagating various plants this semester. Now with ample roots, we are ready to pot some plants!
If you have any discarded pots you would like to donate to this program, we will be happy to take them. We prefer 4, 6, or 8 inch pots.
We will put your name on the pot, a student's name with the plant, and watch them grow!
Drop pots off at the MC!
The Christmas Spirit was high this week with holiday door decorations! Ms. Endicott took the individual classroom decoration win with her "The Best is Yeti to Come".

Congratulations to these talented students for being nominated and selected to apply for the 2024 Governor's Honors Program (GHP)!
