Chopping to Victory: Level 3 Culinary Students Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with the Salsa Challenge
Students in Mrs. Hoffman's Level 3 Sports Nutrition class recently put their culinary precision to the test during an exciting hands-on "Salsa Challenge." Held in observance of Hispanic Heritage Month, the lab provided a powerful opportunity for cross-curricular learning, connecting culinary arts, cultural history, and practical sports nutrition.
Designed to demonstrate mastery of knife safety, proper hold, and uniform cutting techniques, the challenge tasked student teams with preparing one of three traditional recipes: fresh Pico de Gallo, vibrant Salsa Verde, or sweet Fruit Salsa.
By taking culinary principles out of the textbook and into the kitchen, students made valuable real-world connections—exploring how fresh, nutrient-dense ingredients fit into an active athletic lifestyle while honoring rich cultural traditions. Every group executed their assigned recipe with impressive teamwork and skill, making the lab a huge, delicious success!

Math Builds Brighter Futures!
Algebra students in Mr. Sparks’ class took statistics beyond the classroom through an exciting, hands-on STEM activity!
Students designed and launched paper airplanes, measured their flight distances, and used the class data to calculate the mean, median, and mode. This engaging activity allowed students to see how mathematics connects to real-world experiences while strengthening their problem-solving, data analysis, and mathematical reasoning skills.
Our Lions are learning, leading, and doing the work!

Ms. Crews and Ms. Polk teamed up for an engaging cross-curricular Social Studies and Literacy Day in the LSHS Media Center, bringing our 9th and 12th-grade Lions together for a buddy-system learning experience!
Our 9th graders received an orientation to the Lions Media Center and learned about the many resources available to support their academic success. Our 12th-grade students stepped into leadership roles, assisting the 9th graders with locating and selecting a book of their choice and helping them learn how to use the various activities and resources available in the Makerspace.
Students checked out books and ended the experience exploring, creating, and having fun in the Makerspace. It was a great example of literacy, leadership, collaboration, and peer-to-peer learning in action!
At LSHS, our Lions don’t just learn together—they lead, support, and grow together!
