Principal's Corner
Dear Lake Forest High School,
Happy Friday and Happy Veterans Day! Each year, Lake Forest High School hosts a Veterans Day program to honor those in our community and country who have served--this tradition is one of the many that makes us special, and as the spouse of a veteran, makes me particularly proud to serve LFHS. If you haven't thanked a veteran, please do.
State qualifying teams are not the norm in high school, but at Lake Forest, it feels like we host clap outs regularly! Last week, we had Cross Country, and yesterday, we sent Girls Swim to States--soon, I will need to purchase earplugs--these celebratory events leave my hearts singing, but honestly, my ears ringing! I will take it, though.
Please remember to fill out a Good Gobble and celebrate an (or many) LFHS staff member. This is a wonderful way to give that note of encouragement or appreciation that you might have been meaning to send. Here is the link, and we will have it open until the 21st!
On Monday, D115 will host a community forum about the capital facilities plan. This is a fantastic opportunity for members of the LFHS family to come and learn more about what our hopes are for the future of our facilities at LFHS. If you are able to attend, the event starts at 6PM!
Finally, if you haven't purchased your tickets to Rhinoceros, the show opens next week. Here is a link to the show!
Go Scouts,
Erin

Safety and Security Advisory Committee
We are currently seeking staff, student and parent volunteers to serve on the LFHS Safety and Security Advisory Committee. Membership will be limited to five (5) volunteers from each group. The purpose of the committee is to provide input and feedback on issues impacting school safety and security at Lake Forest High School. The Advisory Committee will meet on a quarterly basis during the 22/23 school year.
If you are interested, please email Lane Linder at llinder@lfschools.net by November 14, 2022.
Safety and Security Updates
In the next few weeks, Lane Linder, SRO Mark Long and members of the administrative team will be visiting student tables in the cafeteria to discuss school safety. The information shared with the students will include situational awareness, the Run-Hide-Defend protocol and the Confidential Reporting Tool. The purpose of these conversations is to promote collaboration with our students on safety and security issues and improve readiness under our emergency operations plan. We will also be providing students with a quick reference card that contains important safety reminders on these topics. Please feel free to email Lane Linder at llinder@lfschools.net if you have any questions or concerns.
Community Forum - Monday, November 14

On Friday, November 4, students in Foresters and Balladiers went on a field trip during the school day to the “Lakeside Choral Festival” at Carthage College. At the festival, students had the opportunity to do a clinic with Dr. Maggie Burke, go on a college tour, and then perform in a small concert with other high school choirs. The students had fun learning new approaches to music and techniques.

Human Rights Club Day of Compassion
Little Theatre
Lake Forest High School presents this year's Frosh-Soph Show: Rhinoceros. Tickets are now available at bit.ly/LFHS-Rhino22. Spread the word!
The sublime is confused with the ridiculous in this savage commentary on the human condition, a staple of every theatre classroom and 20th-century drama. A small town is besieged by one roaring citizen who becomes a rhinoceros and proceeds to trample on the social order. As more citizens are transformed into rhinoceroses, the trampling becomes overwhelming, and more and more citizens become rhinoceroses. One sane man, Berenger, remains, unable to change his form and identity.
