The term “pesticide” includes insecticides, herbicides, rodenticides, and fungicides.

The School Districts maintain a registry of people who wish to be notified prior to pesticide applications. To be included in this registry, please email Carol White at cwhite@lfschools.net and you will be notified prior to the use of pesticides. Please specify if you want to be contacted by phone or email.

Four $1,00 scholarships will be awarded to two outstanding female and two outstanding male athletes who have demonstrated excellence through athletic performance, leadership, spirit and sportsmanship. 
 

Award winners will be prominently displayed on the "Images of Excellence" mural at West Campus alongside other athletes and students who have been selected by the LFHS Athletics Department, Dean's Office and other LFHS organizations.
