ACT CHANGES
ACT has implemented a number of changes for the 2012-2013 testing year in an attempt to further prevent cheating.  Highlighted below are the major changes that test takers need to be aware of:
all test takers must now present a photo idea to be admitted (students will no longer be admitted based on teacher recognition)
all test takers must now present their admission ticket to be admitted
all standby test takers must now register online prior to the test date (NO walk-ins will be allowed on the day of the test)
 For more information, see the ACT website – www.act.org.

RECYCLING UPDATE
We have sent our first two boxes of small ink cartridges but need a few more of the larger toner cartridges before we can ship them.  I will let you know how much we earn.  They will pay some amount for each item recycled so KEEP RECYCLING!  If you have questions on what we can recycle, check Funding Factory’s website (www.fundingfactory.com)or e-mail Ms. Loughmiller(mloughmiller@lutheranhighschool.net).

STANDARDIZED TESTING UPDATE
We had a successful day of Standardized Testing on Tuesday, March 19th for our students who are participating in the Louisiana State Scholarship Program.  All were present so we did not have to schedule a make-up test date.  We will share the results as soon as we receive them but it will be several weeks before they arrive.

NATIONAL LUTHERAN SCHOOLS DAY – A HUGE SUCCESS!
Last Friday, March 8th LHS again hosted our New Orleans area National Lutheran Schools Event.  This is the second year that LHS has been the site for this event.  Last year 4th through 8th graders attended but this year the request was made for us to host Kindergarten through 8th grade and we obliged.  More than 700 students, teachers and chaperones attended from Atonement Lutheran (Metairie), Concordia Lutheran (Marrero), Faith Lutheran (Harahan), St. John Lutheran (New Orleans) and St. Paul Lutheran (New Orleans).  Mother Nature cooperated and everyone enjoyed celebrating Lutheran Education.  We would like to extend a special thanks to the Lutheran High North choir from Houston for providing our chapel music, First English Lutheran Church and Johnny Bright Playground for allowing us to use their facilities.  Activities included - a puppet show, face painting, a petting zoo, Instagator (alligators), flip books, creating Easter cards, making handprint banners, kickball, open gym and more!  It was an exciting day and would not have been possible without the help provided by our LHS students.  They served as tour guides and helped oversee various stations.  Ms. Rost has received several e-mails and cards from our area elementary schools thanking us for hosting such a great event and commenting on how helpful the LHS students were in making the day run smoothly!
