Our area experiences a partial solar eclipse today from 1:57-4:28 pm. The maximum partial eclipse in Sanford is at 3:14 pm. A few reminders:
It is NEVER safe to look directly at the Sun. Looking at the Sun, even briefly, can cause permanent damage to your retinas and even blindness.
The only glasses which are safe for using are those labeled as ISO 12312-2 certified. Regular sunglasses, swimming goggles, smartphones, cameras, and telescopes are NOT safe for looking directly at the Sun.
Outdoor activities within LCS will be limited until after 4:30 p.m. Have fun and stay safe!
READY FOR “SLIME TIME!” It all looked like a super-fun TV show. Dramatic lighting. Neon toys. Even teachers getting drenched with slime. But Glow Getters Day at J. Glenn Edwards was serious, too. It celebrated student achievement and how everyone “glows” together.
💚 Principal Emily Mize says Glow Getters Day helps students get excited about coming to school every day, embracing the challenge of learning new things and pushing themselves to shine. It’s a truly entertaining way for everyone to thrive. #LCSthrive
SOUTHERN LEE ON STAGE. When Broadway, TV and film actor Vasthy Mompoint arrived to lead an acting workshop, it was more than helping theater students refine techniques and prepare for auditions. She was there to inspire young actors and help them thrive.
🎭 Students performed and broke down dramatic monologues, sang and reviewed musical theater numbers and even had the opportunity to audition for a private performing arts conservatory with campuses in Los Angeles and New York City. #LCSthrive
This week is Assistant Principal Appreciation Week, & we have the best around! They wear a lot of hats, they all do a lot behind the scenes. Whatever they are doing, no matter the day, they are always helping students & staff thrive. Thank you to all LCS Assistant Principals!
