Dear LPHS Parents, Guardians, or Community Members:

At Lake Placid High School, our strength comes from our "hoard"—the incredible students and dedicated staff who make our school a community. On January 16th, we are officially celebrating Dragon Appreciation Day, and we would love for you to join us in spreading some school spirit! 💚

We encourage every member of our Dragon family to send at least one note of appreciation to a student or staff member. Whether it’s a teacher who has gone above and beyond, a staff member who keeps things running smoothly, or a student who is working hard to "soar," a simple word of encouragement goes a long way.

How you can participate:

📨Send a "Dragon Shout-Out": Email a quick note of thanks to a teacher or staff member.

📝Encourage Your Student: Leave a note for your student at home, or send them a text to let them know how proud you are of their hard work as an LPHS Dragon.

📢Dragon Shout Out: If there is a specific staff member or student you’d like us to recognize, please complete the Google form with your "Dragon Wisdom," and we will share it with them on the 16th. https://forms.gle/PMLY7HY85niHpNDJ9


Our goal is to ensure every member of the LPHS community feels the heat of our appreciation! Thank you for being such a vital part of our school.
