If you were unable to join us last night for the LHS Talent Show, you missed a star-studded event featuring our most talented students - Tulanni Blair and Char Starnes (vocals); Kionna Cambell (vocals); Carrigan Banks (spoken word original poem: 2nd place); AJ Warren (vocals); Olyvia Snypes and DJ Guy (performing arts - dancing: 3rd place); Keele Proctor (vocals); Daniel Major (instrumentalist); Aaliyah Cebanu (vocals: 1st place) and hosted by Choral Director Troy Dunbar. Dunbar's very talented choral ensemble performed a choreographed dance to Michael Jackson's "Thriller," and second-year choral student Sonivette Morales-Mercado ended the event with a powerful vocal performance.

We had an amazing day in the #theTRUEBruinsDen - from a wonderful fiction versus nonfiction lesson to our staff versus scholars trivia contest - it was a truly a beautiful day in the library! Our scholars rocked the trivia today - 2nd and 3rd lunch scholars beat the staff in good fashion! Until next time...

Our academic scholars are at it again! This time they mastered the art of dissecting a book and comparing parts of the body to book parts (similes). These enthusiastic scholars enjoyed story time (Dem Bones), checked out books, played Operation, and created their own stories.
