Reminder: If you have been assigned a detention, you need to report to Mr. Machemehl’s room after school on Thursday. You will need to stay until 4:00 PM.
Seniors: Please submit your graduation photos for the yearbook by March 31st. Please submit electronic files. (Minimum size 2.5 in x 3.5 in at 300 dpi) You can send us the full size photo and we can take care of the sizing. When our final layout is complete the pictures may be cropped to other dimensions. All senior photos are cropped with vertical orientation. It would be great if you could have your photographer submit the picture digitally. Email the photo to stender@lp.k12.mn.us We can scan a photo you submit to us but the quality will be better if you can get us the photo in digital form. Please have your photographer submit your photos when you have them taken. If you do not plan to have a senior graduation portrait taken please let us know that as well, we can take a photo for you. We want everyone in the yearbook. If you do not submit a photo, we may use your individual photo taken in the fall by the school portrait photographer. stender@lp.k12.mn.us or yearbook@lp.k12.mn.us”

Day 1 – Snofest Clue
Let’s play a game this Snofest week
It’s a variant of good old hide and seek
I’ve hidden a medallion that must be found
It might be on the ceiling or maybe the ground
It could be inside or outside in the snow
You’ll need to look hard, so on your marks. Get set. Go.
Day 2 – Snofest Clue
Is the medallion out in the cold or inside our walls?
You may need to roam both the sidewalks and halls.
If you are swift, you might win the prize.
The answer is probably in front of your eyes.
Merriam-Webster’s defines swift as great speed
But what other knowledge will you all need?
Day 3 – Snofest Clue
It’s a wonderful day to be paired with a twin.
Turn your search indoors if you want to win.
Your cousins might help you along on this quest.
Your relatives are among this town’s very best.
Can you plow through and beat other teams?
There is more to this little clue than it seems.
