2024-25 Club Rush Slides

Hello 7th and 8th grade Lesher Students!

It’s time to apply for National Junior Honor Society-- also called NJHS. If you were already accepted into this last year, you don’t need to reapply-- you’re automatically in.

It is considered a great honor to be accepted into NJHS, and it is a recognition that many people notice if it is on your resume when you apply for future organizations and jobs.

NJHS runs a great deal of service activities at Lesher such as collecting food for the local food bank, creating cards and decorations for local nursing homes, setting up the Adopt-a-Family holiday gift drive, hosting staff appreciation events, taking part in Lesher’s campus clean-up days, and much more!

To apply to join this wonderful organization, check out the link on Lesher’s webpage. The application is open to only 7th and 8th graders who were on the gold or blue honor roll at the end of last year and are willing to participate in our quarterly meetings and at least one NJHS service project. The deadline to apply is Friday, September 27. For more information, talk to

Mr. T, or Mr. Warchola.

Our PBIS focus for September and October is ATTENDANCE.

The student challenge is not having tardies. The grade level with the least amount of tardies will earn a bonus ELO Outdoor day. So, remind your friends to get to class ON TIME!

Varsity defeated Wellington, at Wellington, 12-0. Varsity is now 3-0 this season. Defense and special teams have been outstanding all year!

JV defeated Wellington 26-16 upping their record to 2-0-1* (Boltz JV game was tied 0-0 at half and was cancelled at halftime due to lighting).

Incredible TEAM effort on both Varsity and JV!

Next games Tuesday 9/17 at Blevins.

Share your expertise with our students! We're looking for volunteers to speak on topics such as career exploration, employability skills, entrepreneurship, or business management. Inspire the next generation by discussing your journey and insights. If interested, please contact Amanda Sutton. Thank you for supporting our students' future success! Asutton@psdschools.org

If you know that your child will be missing school please have them visit their teachers to fill out this form. When completed please return it to the main office. We will make a copy and return it to the student.

Hey Lesher community!

We are in need of family volunteers to serve as crossing guards in the morning (7:00-7:30) and afternoons (2:25-2:55) in the intersections of Stover/Prospect. If you're willing to volunteer your time please email our principal Don Kotnik at dkotnik@psdschools.org.

Thank you!

Over the past 2 years, Design Club has been busy building a scale model of Lesher in Minecraft! We used Google Earth to measure an outline from above – each block was ½ meter in length. They took pictures of every classroom and made sure every single detail was accounted for – down to the color of the flooring to Mr. Swann on hall duty in the front. They used redstone (it’s a special kind of Minecraft block that is like electricity) to power lights, run water to the water fountains, and play a special tune when you press a button at the front door.

Evie Eslinger, Esther Johnson, and Emilia Mellizo Kroll have been integral as the ‘mayors’ of this online community. They have presented their work at several teacher trainings at the district level!

Last week, this video was presented to 5th graders and they loved seeing their new school!

Here is a link to our academic honesty police. Please take time as a family to read through this information and let us know if you have any questions! Thank you!

Academic Honesty Policy

Lesher students cannot carry any bag larger than a pencil case from class to class. Please keep all bookbags, backpacks, tote bags, purses, and other bags in your locker. We do this for two reasons: 1) Safety, we do not want students concealing prohibited items in large bags; 2) Space, we do not want to overcrowd the hallways with large bags. Thank you for your understanding!
