T-Shirt Sales After Break

Thank you to everyone who has helped to sell our shirts at lunch for the past two weeks! Hopefully you were very successful, and if not, sold at least a few shirts. If you did happened to have any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to talk to Mr. Jannke, Mr. Murphy, Jenna or I. Look out for information we will be posting soon about what we will be doing about t-shirt sales after break. Thanks again!

Talk by Viktor Frankl

Everything IC has done with the Frontline has made me think of this talk by Viktor Frankl. We could accomplish so much if we all thought like this...

Movie Night

Movie Night was fun last night. Lots of food and cool new tees! We saw Hotel Rwanda and learned about the genocide that occurred there in the 1990s. Can anyone tell us how many genocides have occured in the world SINCE the Holocaust?

Meeting Tomorrow

We have a meeting tomorrow in Mr. Jannke's room! Movie night is set for December 9th. We'll be finalizing plans.

Movie Night is Moving to December

We are still working on the new t-shirt design. It is taking longer than we expected to finalize everything. We'll be launching the tees in December along with our movie night. We'll be showing Hotel Rwanda and giving away the first tees, along with eating pizza- and it's free!

FreeRice.com Update

Only 4 days left in the competition....

FreeRice.com Competition Begins!

We are promoting a FreeRice.com competition next week as part of Spirit Week. Student Congress is graciously awarding extra spirit points to each class. However, this is a competition, so the class that earns the most “rice” earns the most spirit points.

Simply go to FreeRice.com and answer questions about language, geography, science, math, literature, etc. For each correct answer FreeRice.com donates 10 grains of rice to the UN's World Hunger Programme, which in turn delivers it to the world’s hungry. No money involved, just time.

LHS has an account:
username = LHSAI
password = spiritweek

Go to FreeRice.com and login with the above credentials. From there, simply look below at the “Groups” and select your class, e.g. LHSJuniors. There is no limit from there, just start answering questions. Be sure to login as LHSAI and select the “group” that represents your class to get credit for Spirit Week. The competition starts Friday the 7th and ends at 8:00 am on Friday the 14th.

Our freerice.com Spirit Week challenge is happening next week. Each class will be in competition to achieve the most grains of rice. The winning class will earn extra spirit points for the week. We need volunteers to promote the competition during morning meetings. Let Mr. Jannke, Brenna, Jenna, etc., or any AI crew member know if you can help spread the word. Mr. Jannke will have to give you a pass help, so be sure your name gets on the list!

Congo Tour

On Friday, we held 2 assemblies. Approximately 650 students participated. They saw a screening of a new film, Tony, from Invisible Children. We raised hundreds of dollars through donations and merchandise sales. All the proceeds are being used to implement the Protection Plan to stop the LRA's senseless killings.
