Evolving Perspectives: 7th Annual Greater Lowell Regional Art Show
January 3-28, 2024
Reception: 3-5pm, Saturday, January 6, 2024
The Greater Lowell Regional Student Art show returns to Loading Dock Gallery with "Evolving Perspectives,” featuring young artists from greater Lowell area high schools, including Lunenburg’s Lily Breau, Chloe Prokowiew, Emma Shepherd, and Ella Thibault.
Evolving Perspectives comments on our world and our world-to-be. Responding to such prompts as “Future,” “Change,” “Differences,” “Unknown,” and “Self,” these young artists explore the questions they and their rising generation face: “What do I see in the world right now?” and “What do I do?” Evolving Perspectives gives a generational voice to the ever-changing relationship between the artists and their world.

LMHS LIBRARY DIGITAL RESOURCES
The library offers many digital resources such as research databases, ebooks, audiobooks, citation creation and digital notecard/research organization tools. Links to these can be found on the library website: https://sites.google.com/lunenburgschools.net/lmhs-library-media-center. The databases are grouped by subject areas to make navigating the many resources easier. Databases work automatically within the school building, but passwords are needed for home access. The database passwords are accessible from any database page on the library website - look for the blue banner at the top of each database page. As long as a student is logged into their school Google account, clicking that link will open the list of usernames and passwords for all of the databases offered through the library.
Mrs. Vallee is available in the library and by email at pvallee@lunenburgschools.net for any student needing help finding a book, researching a topic, using the databases, or creating citations.

Reminder to all students - overdue notices are sent to your school email every Tuesday morning. If you need to keep the book longer for a project, just reply to the email that you’d like to have it renewed. We do not charge overdue fines, but books do need to be returned as part of senior obligations and if leaving the district/applying to Monty Tech. Don't forget you can log into your Destiny accounts any time to see which books you have checked out and when they are due.
