Mrs. Sine's 10th grade English class has spent the last few weeks learning about the Holocaust. They just finished reading "Night" by Elie Weisel, and analyzed a collection of poems written by children who lived in the Terezin Concentration Camp. After they analyzed poems they made paper butterflies out of construction paper and string. After holding their butterflies up proudly, Mrs. Sine cut the strings of the ones who's poems were written by children who did not survive. Most of the students' paper butterflies were on the floor with cut strings by the end of this. 15,000 Children entered the camp at the start of the war. Only 100 children were left when the camp was liberated. Mrs. Sine's students have enjoyed learning about the Holocaust and have expressed how it has changed their outlook on life.

Today is School Nurse Appreciation Day and we'd like to thank our very own, Mrs. Emily Michael. Thank you for all you do for our students and Luray High School.

🌱🔬 Hands-on science in action!

Ms. Weikle’s Honors Environmental Science class recently conducted an engaging acid rain lab to explore how environmental factors impact plant growth. Students tested varying concentrations of vinegar to simulate acid rain and observed its effect on the germination rates of radish seeds.

Through this experiment, students were able to see firsthand how increasing acidity can influence seed development and overall plant health. It was a great opportunity to connect classroom learning to real-world environmental issues while building critical thinking and data analysis skills.

Science is growing—one seed at a time! 🌍🌿

Yesterday, Mr. Strunk's World History II classes traveled to the Air and Space Museum/ Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA. Students were able to see more than 200 aircraft on display, including an Air France Concorde and the B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay. This museum also holds the largest collections of Japanese and German World War II aircraft in the world. In addition, the museum offers helicopters , commercial, and private airplanes to admire. Also found in the museum are space artifacts, including the Space Shuttle Discovery, the Apollo 11 Mobile Quarantine Facility, space suits, rockets, and more. To view the conservation work that was underway, students could watch through windows into a hangar and see the many works in progress.

Yesterday, 4th grade students from Springfield Elementary School visited Luray High School to finally meet their "pen pals" they have been writing to all year. The Pen Pal Club,. sponsored by Mrs. Brandi Alger and Mrs. Emily Sine, is designed to pair 4th graders with an LHS student to practice writing skills, sharing things about themselves and school life, as well as exchange small gifts during the holidays. At the end of the year the students get to meet their pen pals and engage in some fun activities.

Please note and review the attendance requirements to attend LHS Prom.
