On this bright, sunny winter day, the reader can see that quite a bit of exterior work has been done. Inside, the cinder block walls have been painted a pale yellow. Interior work on the barn / cafeteria continues as well.

Happy Valentines Day from the LHS staff!






























Below is a shot from the outside of one of the "soft rooms". When students become angry and lose physical control, one of the safe alternatives for them is to let out their aggression in a room with sufficient padding on the walls and floor to keep them from injuring themselves. The very back room in this shot will be the padded room, and the closer space will be the "cool down" room, where a student can sit and process with a staff member once they are deemed sufficiently safe to exit the "soft room". When the rooms are complete, a heavy, padded door will separate the two spaces. The school has two such "soft rooms" situated side by side in this hallway.
