My Project

For everyone to feel valued, it is important to see ourselves and our cultures. This is especially true as we work to increase our students' sense of belonging at school.

The students that attend LHS come from over 50 counties, speak over 70 languages, and almost 80% of our students are students of color; it is important that they have the chance to see themselves when they have the chance to relax and color during our FLEX Blocks.

By having coloring books that represent our students and supplies to color, it will help our students be seen and feel that they belong to LHS.
