Read Across America Day takes place every year on March 2nd. The day helps promote the importance of literacy. This year, Read Across America Day took place on a Saturday, so LCHS Student Council Members stopped by Hamlin PK8 last Friday to celebrate the event with Kindergarten, 1st Grade, and 2nd Grade students. LCHS students read books to students and encouraged them to keep working hard in school. Thank you, LCHS Student Council, for investing in our future Panthers!

Harts PK-8 students in Mrs. Brittney Smith’s class chose an influential African American to do further research about for Black History month. They focused on why they were considered a leader, their achievements, and any important life events that helped that leader become who they are. Students then made posters to showcase their research.

Is it really an agriculture lesson if you don't get dirty? The Mobile Ag Lab, sponsored by the West Virginia Farm Bureau, rolled through West Hamlin this week.
"The Mobile Ag Ed Science Lab provides students with the unique opportunity to participate in hands-on lessons that reinforce their knowledge of science, technology, English and math, while they are simultaneously introduced to agriculture education."
Students had a great time touring the lab and taking part in the interactive lessons. Watching students learn something new, or try something for the first time never gets old!
Thank you to the WV Farm Bureau and the Mobile Ag Lab Team for making a visit!

There is just something exciting watching objects glow in the dark. Making your own glow in the dark objects in science class is even better, and 8th graders at Hamlin did just that. Students made glow in the dark polymer worms! This is a great way for students to see how different materials/objects can change and create something new when they are combined. The end result was awesome!

If you had the chance to take in any of the Lincoln/Boone Middle School Basketball Tournament last week, you know the atmosphere was electric ⚡️ The championship game featured Harts PK8 representing LCS. The Lion faithful showed up in force for the game...but they were not alone.
Students from other schools around the district showed up to cheer on their fellow LCS athletes. This picture of Hamlin students rooting on the Lions has us thinking the LCHS student section is in good hands!
Harts, who won the regular season title, took the runner-up spot in the postseason tournament. Thank you to everyone who showed up to support the athletes all week!
