Love it when a community comes together! 12th Annual Quentin Ingram Jog, established by students in honor of their comrade Quentin, who was lost too young w/ leukemia. And beloved son of CII’s own, the extraordinary Janet Ingram. Not too late to donate! lhseggnogjog.com/

A few schools shorthanded on this December Friday. Although amazing school staff have it well-under control, our central team is doing what we can to help. Covering classes is one thing, but there’s always something special about duty for 7th Grade Lunch!
