‼ Boosters members we need your help! 📣🎓

Booster Members, we are in need of 8-10 adults that are willing to give 2-3 hours of time, reading over scholarship applications and then judging them, as a group. You cannot be a parent of a senior to serve on this team of readers. We plan to review these and meet to make the final decisions the week of May 8th. If you are interested in helping with this process, please contact Jennifer Gustavus at [email protected]

PTSO needs your help to make our All-Night Grad Party (ANGP) for our Seniors a success! You might be thinking, “What is the All-Night Grad Party?”



The All-Night Grad Party event is a fun “lock-in” event for our Seniors to celebrate graduation with their classmates. They will have Ida Lee all to themselves to enjoy swimming, games, and food!!! Historically, the event is usually held the evening of graduation, this year we are hosting the event a few days before graduation.



In years past, it has been a tradition for the underclass parents to “Pay it Forward” to help with the planning and to volunteer for the event, and in turn the underclass will do the same for you when your student is senior. This year, we are asking our Heritage families (Seniors and Underclass) to volunteer and help with the event. If you would like to help or “Pay it Forward” for the Class of 2023, please click on the links below and consider helping out! It’s a super fun night, and a great way to be an active member of the HHS community.

What would you do if you had all eternity?

When Winnie learns of the magic behind the Tuck’s unending youth, she must fight to protect their secret from those who would do anything for a chance at eternal life. As her adventure unfolds, Winnie faces an extraordinary choice: return to her life, or continue with the Tucks on their infinite journey.

Based on best-selling children’s classic by Natalie Babbitt and adapted for the stage by Claudia Shear and Tim Federle, Tuck Everlasting features a soaring score from Chris Miller and Nathan Tysen.

PTSO

"LCPS has partnered with the Cook Center for Human Connection to provide parents and caregivers with trusted resources to help address mental health questions and provide tools to further efforts in eradicating su***de. These free online resources – ParentGuidance.org and My Life is Worth Living - feature videos to assist parents and caregivers in developing strategies to support their children’s mental health.

ParentGuidance.org offers strategies for parents and caregivers to address a range of issues that face children and youth. Backed by therapists, ParentGuidance.org provides specialized courses and professional support. This resource is easy to access and allows parents and caregivers to explore it at their own pace. Unlike other online resources, this information is tailored for children and young adults.

After accessing the ParentGuidance.org site, users are advised to click the “Courses” link in the top navigation bar. This link leads the user to a library of videos on topics ranging from addressing feelings of anxiety and anger to examining the impact of digital media to coping with grief and many more. All the resources under the Courses tab are free but users are required to create a log-in. Some of the other resources available through ParentGuidance.org are available for a fee.

My Life Is Worth Living (mylifeisworthliving.org) is an animated series focusing on teen mental health and su***de prevention. The series follows a diverse group of characters and tells their stories over the course of 20 episodes. The characters experience struggles that many young people face, including bullying, substance use, trauma, and abuse. Parents are encouraged to watch the videos with their teen or on their own and use the topics to initiate or deepen conversations about mental health. Like parentguidance.org, the videos on the My Life Is Worth Living are free.

Parents and caregivers are invited to explore these two websites. Links to both sites can also be found on the LCPS homepage. Please contact Jennifer Evans ([email protected]), LCPS’ Director of Student Mental Health Services, if you have any questions about these resources."

📣🎤🚨A message from the PTSO:

Dear 9th-11th Grade Parents,

It’s the end of the year, and it’s hard to imagine anything else on your plate at the moment, but the PTSO would like to help make you familiar with the All Night Grad Party (ANGP) for seniors. You might be thinking, “but I don’t have a Senior, so this doesn’t apply to me.”

Historically (aka pre-pandemic) this event is held on the evening of graduation, and is planned by and run by the UNDERCLASS parents! Why? Because not only do the Senior parents have a lot going on (planning their child’s graduation, family in town etc.) but also because… and we know you’ll understand… the Seniors don’t want their own parents hanging around all night at the party!!

As with many things, Covid derailed the ANGP the last couple of years, and along with that, the tradition of underclass parents “Paying it Forward” ended as well. Flash forward to 2022, and thank goodness, the event is scheduled! However, it has been planned by Senior parents, and so far, the few volunteers we have, have been Senior parents. We are asking, with outstretched arms, for underclass parents to volunteer to help out this year at the event, so you can get an idea of what it entails and perhaps help out next year! If not, sadly, the ANGP will be one of many fantastic PTSO led events that will not be possible going forward. If you would like to help Pay it Forward for the Class of 2022, and ensure that your own kids will be able to attend an ANGP when they are Seniors, please click the link below and consider helping out! It’s a super fun night, and a great way to be an active member of the HHS community.

If you have questions, please email [email protected]

Thank you and Roar Pride!
