Congratulations to seniors Faith Keagle and Jaya Therien who were selected to compete in last night’s BNGSA All Star game. It was great to see you both suit up one more time in the Lexington gear!
We're a little more than 24 hours away from Graduation! Seniors, please remember:
--Practice is at 11am tomorrow morning. (You must attend graduation practice in order to participate in the ceremonies.)
--If you are planning to wear slippery shoes or high heels, please bring them to practice tomorrow.
--Don't decorate your mortar boards.
--Any non-school-issued cords or stoles must be approved before practice tomorrow.
--We will be taking a class picture before the ceremony, so arrive dressed and ready to go by 6:30.
--Each senior will receive 4 reserved seats for the ceremony. We will hold the drawing for the seats tomorrow during rehearsal. Students will select the seats they want to reserve in the order they are drawn.
--The receiving line will be in the small gym immediately after the ceremony.
We certainly have a talented group of seniors! If you haven't had a chance to see their parting artwork, we hope you have a chance to look in person.
Seniors, there's still time to paint if you want to add to our gallery...
Congratulations to Kaden Farrell and Peyton Larson for being the first Lexington High School Bass Fishing anglers to go to State. Although they didn’t bring home the trophy it was still a good effort with the winds and storms that caused shorter fishing times and Day 2 of the tournament being canceled altogether. Great job representing Lexington!
