As we wind down the school year, there are many events to serve at local elementary schools. Stadium Drive Elementary has a clean up day this Thursday, May 23, right after the half day dismissal, and both Webber and Paint Creek have fun fairs next week! Check out x2vol for more information on all three of these opportunities to give back to Lake Orion schools! With the half days this week- it’s also a good time to reach out to a favorite teacher and volunteer to help clean or organize their classroom! Service Learning - Lake Orion Community Schools (lakeorionschools.org)
Service opportunities are emailed to students the first week of each month with the events for that specific month. This list can also be found on the LOHS Service Learning page, at the bottom. This month is listed as “April and May Service Opportunities” .
Lake Orion Community Schools offers a number of opportunities for our students in the summer months. The summer school programs allow students to continue to expand their education, even outside of the traditional school year.
High school Summer courses begin June 13.

The HBCU Career Fair provides a unique opportunity for your students to:
- Meet with recruiters from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)

- Gain insights into the admissions process and learn about scholarship opportunities
This event is an excellent way for students to explore their college options and discover the rich traditions and academic excellence of HBCUs.

Still need help paying for college? We have a few local scholarships with upcoming due dates in March!

SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH UPDATE
The Lake Orion Community Schools Board of Education continues its search process to find a new superintendent, replacing departing Superintendent Ben Kirby.
As a part of that process, the Board hired the Michigan Association of School Boards to lead the search and is now in the input phase, gathering feedback from important stakeholders.
Gathering input to build the candidate profile is an early step in the search process. Those who cannot attend the meetings are able to offer their input through an online survey.
More information about the upcoming steps and the job posting can be found at LakeOrionSchools.org/SuperintendentSearch.
Attached is our remaining live broadcast schedule for the school year, including the LOHS Graduation Ceremony on June 4!
Though we're down to just a few students left on our staff (now that most seniors are done!), we'll continue to produce our live newscast LO-AM once per week for the 3 remaining weeks. This week's episode airs on Tuesday 5/21. Please remember to submit story requests by 7:00am on show days.
Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to recognize one of Lake Orion Community Schools' staff members for their excellence.
The intent of the Distinguished Dragon program is to ensure that staff members who go above and beyond their regular duties are appreciated. The additional effort or support can range from helping an individual to helping a group or any effort that seems worthy of praise.
The staff member can be nominated by a student, parent, community member or even their own colleague. We ask for the submitter's name and contact information to follow up with specific questions if necessary.
Please complete the form entirely so the individual can be appropriately honored for their contributions.
The 2024-25 Lake Orion Community Schools calendars are now available by visiting the LakeOrionSchools.org calendar page. A single sheet of the important dates is also listed on that page.
