LHS kicked off the Red Kettle season with a big win, bringing home the Golden Kettle at the Salvation Army’s annual event! 🏆🎉 They earned the top spot by collecting the most support during the friendly competition against Clarkston High School.

A huge thank you to the LHS Leadership students who donated their time and represented our school with pride: Brody, Luka, Adi, Ella, Makenna, and Raegan.

The event included an ugly sweater contest, a potato bar dinner, a silent auction, and activities that all helped raise funds for programs supporting families across the LC Valley.

Students also viewed symbolism from America’s White Table, a children’s book by Margot Theis Raven that explains the tradition of setting a white table to honor prisoners of war and missing-in-action (POW/MIA) soldiers.

Tammany High School’s FCCLA team recently shared an overview of their program with the Lewiston School Board, highlighting the impact FCCLA has on students’ education, leadership, and personal growth.

Students also reflected on their experience at BASIC (Building and Achieving Success in Idaho Chapters), a statewide leadership event held at the University of Idaho that brings together student officers from all seven of Idaho’s Career Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs).

Through hands-on sessions in leadership, professionalism, and teamwork, students gained valuable skills they’re excited to apply in school and beyond.
