Kudos to LFHS senior Andrew Clemmensen, who took it upon himself to put a paper bag and flier explaining Project F_LL on all of his neighbor's doorsteps in hopes that they will donate to our cause. He went back later to pick up the donations and dropped them off at the high school!

As mentioned in the April 1 COVID-19 testing update message, we are continuing to monitor Lake County COVID-19 data, as well as the D115 COVID-19 Readiness Dashboard, as we consider future COVID-19 testing in our school.

Gateway Testing:  All Lake Forest High School students are required to participate in COVID-19 testing or receive an approved exemption from Dr. Holland before returning to school for the first time following Spring Break. For those who have not yet done so, this remains a requirement with no expiration.

As we will be celebrating Earth Day this month on Thursday, April 22nd, this is a wonderful time to pursue a deeper connection with our environment. Do you ever find yourself feeling calmer and more relaxed after spending time outside? It is no secret that there is a correlation between time spent in nature and a reduction of negative emotions. Please take a moment to read what our students love the most about our planet Earth and see what else in happening in the Transition Program by reading  the April issue of our Transition Newsletter.
