As a culminating project for "Book Club" in Mrs. Alger's English 9 Honors class, students were given the choice of doing a poster or a painting a ceiling tile from her classroom. The projects had to include a scene from the novel, a memorable quote, and a symbol of significance. What great work the students produced. The tiles have now been placed back in her ceiling and the work is on display for all students to see.

Earlier this week, 8th grade students from Luray Middle School visited Luray High to participate in a program designed to help 8th graders transition smoothly into high school. Students from LMS were addressed by principal, Mrs. Clark, assistant principal, Mrs. Meadows, school counselors, teachers, and a variety of student representatives. Student reps spoke about the importance of becoming involved in high school life and the opportunities available to them at LHS. They were then taken in groups on a scavenger hunt to become more acquainted with the building. 8th graders were also given their first official swag (t-shirts) welcoming them to Luray High School. Congratulations, and we look forward to seeing you in the fall!!

Congressman, Ben Cline visited LHS Government classes Tuesday to share his journey from being an assistant Commonwealth's Attorney for Rockingham County and the city of Harrisonburg to a state delegate in the General Assembly in Richmond, VA, and finally to representing District 6 of Virginia in the United States Congress in Washington DC. He also shared his love for the Constitution, civic service, and the U.S. as a land of opportunity.
