This Wednesday our Senior students will be traveling to the Central Office to participate in the "Before You Go" event that will focus on some important real life skills. All seniors will be making the trip. Seniors will not be attending dual enrollment classes Wednesday morning so that they may participate in the event. Those that participate in dual enrollment should report directly to Straughn High School by 7:45. LBW has been made aware that these students will not be in college class on Wednesday. The buses will leave for the trip by around 8:15 and will return around 2. Lunch will be provided. All Seniors need to make plans to be there the whole time. Those that typically have early dismissal may leave as soon as the buses return to school.
