These classmates have spent many mornings, days, and evenings together throughout their time at LCWM, but this morning hit a little bit different. Instead of being up early and at school for one of the many activities they're involved in at LCWM, they spent time together enjoying breakfast during the annual "Senior Sunrise". As the class shared updates on how the year is going so far and future plans, they also shared memories.

Class of 2026: the sunrise may have been a bit foggy, but your future is bright.

This morning our high school paraprofessionals practiced using the "Striker" evacuation chair for students who may be in a wheelchair and needing to go down the steps. It's good to practice with no pressure so you're prepared when it's needed!
