Dear Parents:

Greetings! By now many of you have already heard that LCHS went

through an accreditation review last week. This was a culmination of a lot of

hard work and preparation of information so that the committee visiting the

school could get a complete picture of our school and our programs. I am ex-

cited to tell you that, at the conclusion of their visit, they informed us that

they will be recommending to the Southern Association of Colleges and

Schools (largest accreditation association in the nation) that Loudoun County

High School be Fully Accredited. I want to personally thank everyone who

had a hand not only in producing the documents and in attending the inter-

views, but also all students and parents who day in and day out support the

school and their children. Congratulations to all.

We are now into our Advanced Placement and SOL test windows. This

is a very critical time of the year for students to get plenty of rest so that

they can perform at their best during the tests. Needless to say, eating a

good breakfast will also go a long way to providing the fuel the students

need to sustain them.

As we get ever closer to the end of the year, please continue to moni-

tor our web page for news about activities coming up.

Sincerely yours,

Bill Oblas

We set up two car washes in order to raise money for our Relay team;

Thanks for supporting us!

Class of 2012 For April

SOCIAL SCIENCE SCIENCE ENGLISH

Peak Performers and Mountain Climbers

Each month look for each of the three teams to recognize students who demonstrate strong work ethic, determination, and willingness to go “above and beyond” their own expectations.

Mrs. Lewis's classes will be fin-

ishing Romeo and Juliet and then be-

ginning a Poetry unit. Students will

create their own poetry collections

as a final project. The final novel of

the year will be Of Mice and Men. Us-

ing discussion threads, students will

exchange ideas about the plot, charac-

ters, and themes of the novel online.

Mr. Bednarski's classes have fin-

ished their exploration of the classi-

cal civilizations of Greece and Rome

and are now examining other major

periods and cultures in world his-

tory such as Islam, African societies

the Americas and the European Mid-

dle Ages. SOL testing time is here

and students should really be re-

viewing material in preparation for

these important assessments.

Mr. Alexander's classes have fin-

ished Islam and is now beginning to

learn about the Americas and the

ancient civilizations there. We will

be studying the Medieval Age

shortly thereafter and reviewing for

our SOL test that we will take in

mid-May.

dents are encouraged to attend

Mrs. Francis's raider rally for an

Earth Science SOL review until the

test is administered in mid-May.

Mrs. Daniel's classes have fin-

ished their study of research

skills and are continuing their

study of William Shakespeare

with the play Romeo and Juliet.

Students are analyzing poetic

devices and acting out key

scenes from the play, as well as

comparing two video versions of

the play. Students are working

on their writing skills along with

Romeo and Juliet and continuing

their study of grammar. They

will be reading the novel Of Mice

and Men to finish the year.

Mrs. Ellison's English classes

have finished their study of the

novel Of Mice and Men. We will be

beginning our study of the novel An-

copy of the novel to keep and will be

able to practice their annotation

skills in their copy of the novel.

Director of Energy UtilizDirector of Energy UtilizDirector of Energy UtilizDirector of Energy Utilizaaaationtiontiontion. Mr. Lord, a former

Spanish Teacher of ten years, has made annual visits

to LCHS for four years, to show our Raiders how to

make the “Ojo de Dios” (Eye of God) wall hanging or

ornament. Everyone chose their colors of yarn and

planned their design as they wrapped yarn around wooden dowels to

create their own unique, personal expression of Mexica “artesanía” (handiwork).

This finished “Ojo” is a diamond, formed by the dowels, covered with yarn of

all textures and colors, as individual as a fingerprint!

Mrs. Allphin and Mr. Wright enjoyed watching and helping the students “stretch

their creative muscles” to think and explore in a different way. It was obvious

that the students had a great time with each other creating their own

“masterpiece” to be admired by all!

Hello to all Raiders, The SCA has finished the Senior Wall. Go to the cafeteria to check it out! We would like to give a special thanks to Rachel Hale, who provided the Seniors ’09 statement, and to Sarah Muse, who painted the wonderful LCHS mural. Currently, the SCA has begun painting the pillars inside the cafeteria for an-other Character Counts project. The SCA would also like to announce their par-ticipation in the upcoming Megan’s Walk. The walk will be held on May 10 and is at LCHS.

The SCA thanks everybody for their continued support.

FROM:FROM:FROM:FROM: The LCHS PTSA Save the date: Friday, May 15Friday, May 15Friday, May 15Friday, May 15, for a PTSA-hosted teacher/staff appreciation luncheon! Many good eats to be had.

Don’t miss it!Don’t miss it!Don’t miss it!Don’t miss it!

Take the lead WE NEED YOU! The PTSA at LCHS will be changing next year. All positions are open: president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. There are currently no candidates for these positions. The life of the PTSA depends upon volunteers. Please con-sider taking an active role in the PTSA next year. If no one steps forward, then it is possible that all our current funds would have to be turned over to the State PTSA. In that event, there would be no PTSA at LCHS for the coming school year.

We really could use your help. Monthly meetings are usually one hour or less. There are usually plenty of volunteers, but we just need some people to take the lead. We are due to vote for the new board at our next meeting on Monday, May 4. If you are interested in serving on the board, please e -mail us at or contact Mona Czupak at or (703)737-6571. Who will wear the

crown? LCHS parents are all invited to attend the Mr. Loudoun County High School pageant, to be held Thursday, April 30, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets will be sold during the week at lunchtime, and also at the door. Please come out and support the Junior class in raising money for prom and to see who will be crowned Mr. LCHS! We look forward to seeing you there!

Are you up for working the night shift?

We are still looking for volunteers for the All-Night Grad Party on Saturday, June 20, from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. at the Ida Lee Recreation Center.

It is an LCHS tradition for parents of underclassman to work at the party so that parents of graduating sen-iors can relax knowing that their new graduates are cele-brating in a safe and fun environment.

Volunteers are needed for set-up, clean-up and to work at the party. Shifts are from 11 p.m. – 2 a.m. and 2 a.m. – 5 a.m.

To volunteer, contact Karen Knobloch at (703)443-8026, [email protected].

Don’t forget … The next PTSA meeting will be on Monday, May 4, at 7 p.m. in the LCHS library.

e all know the stories of Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Bean-stalk and Little Red Riding Hood – or do we? Nothing is quite what it seems if you go into the woods today! And not everything ends in happily ever after when the characters are left to work out their own

destinies. Into the Woods humorously combines a number of classic fairy tales such as Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Little Red Riding Hood with the story of the Baker and his Wife who have been cursed with child-lessness by a witch and must perform various missions to break the spell. The traditional stories are parodied and altered at will, yet the original fairy tales' sense of wonder and, at times, darkness remains intact. The score, winner of Broadway's Tony Award, includes such songs as Children Will Listen, Giants in the Sky, and No One Is Alone. Directed by John Wells with Music Direction by Robin Duncan, Into the Woods features the talents of Corey Gant, Emily Lentz, Christie Farrell, Lau-ren Castellanos, Chelsea Zeidman, Caroline Hertz, Jack Notar, Sean Briggs, Parker Chadwick, Jesse Siebentritt, Lynn Dawley, Michael Ferraiolo, Michael Knobloch, Elizabeth Shoemaker, A.J.Jelonek, Kathleen Boyle, Deirdre Dillon, Alan Donehoo, Emily Douglas, Olivia Erickson, Hannah Harris, Emily Jackson, and Rachel Veal. Assistant Directors are LCHS students Kaity Beavenour and Samantha Thompson.
