Shoutout to our Junior High Lighthouse action team for their incredible effort in bringing to life their very own Lighthouse website.
Their dedication and hard work have truly paid off, and we are thrilled to help publish their work for the world to see. This team was able to identify an area of need, establish a plan, collaborate, and produce a product that will provide others with helpful information that can enhance everyone’s overall school experience.
Your creativity and innovation have not only strengthened our digital footprint but also provided a user-friendly space for students, staff, and parents to provide suggestions on how to improve our school.
Be sure to check out the newly created Leland Lighthouse team website that was put together by 7th graders Cadence Beck, Sophia Difaggio and Delilah Zitt.
