Aurora Davis - I’m thankful for my family, my mom, my dad, and my brother Harrison. It’s so important to have a group of people you can always trust and count on, no matter what. Harrison and I earned our first-degree black belts in karate, which was so great to achieve together. I’m grateful for that and our karate teachers. I’m also grateful for the teachers at Lansing High School as they’re always willing to help and give guidance whenever we need it. I really appreciate how Ms. Ivery teaches government this year. Her class is so interactive and open, and she creates such an accepting space for everyone’s viewpoints.
It’s November, and this month we’re celebrating gratitude! On this Monday morning, we’re especially thankful for our Lansing High School Bobcats, for the way they show up, lead with kindness, and set an example for others.

🥕 Taste the Rainbow... of Carrots! 🥕

Today’s salad bar featured colorful rainbow carrots grown locally at Stick & Stone Farm in Ithaca, NY!

A huge shout-out to Daryl from Building & Grounds for helping make this local connection possible by picking up the carrots so our Food Service team could serve them fresh to our students.

It’s always exciting to bring local produce from nearby farms straight to our school lunch trays — supporting local agriculture and giving students the chance to taste the difference!
