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
