LeRoy School District 2

LIVE on ABC! Our cheerleaders will be in the longest running Thanksgiving Day Parade in the nation. Congratulations to the 5 individuals named UCA All Americans who will represent LHS Cheer in Philadelphia, PA at the Thanksgiving Day parade. All-Americans will perform alongside massive floats and giant balloons, as well as favorites from the entertainment world as the 2023 Dunkin’ Donuts Thanksgiving Day Parade makes its way through the heart of historic Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The event is televised in the Philadelphia area and syndicated throughout the United States. Addi, Halle, Kenzie, Macy and Peyton earned the All-American title via tryout based on superior cheerleading or dance skills. Only the top 15% of the cheerleaders and dancers who attend Varsity Spirit camps in the summer receive this honor and the chance to march in this prestigious Thanksgiving Da Parade. The All-American group will be in Philadelphia from November 21 through the 24, practicing their routine and visiting Philadelphia landmarks.

We always appreciate our cafeteria staff, but today they deserve a shout out for preparing a Thanksgiving feast with all the fixings including pumpkin bars! These JH students approve. A lot of extra work went into this meal. We have full bellies and thankful hearts today!

Thank You School Board Members

Thank you to Katie Greer on a great presentation and message for our 6th-12th grade students about social media decision-making! Katie is down to earth and reasonable in her message to students. If students took just a few things from today’s message related to social media or life in general, we hope that includes: Slow down and think before posting/saying something, don’t talk to anyone you don’t know, having control over your body is empowering, and healthy relationships do not include pressure. We can all do a better job at managing our screen time. Strive to do better every day.

On Wednesday, October 11, LHS Anatomy and Strength & Conditioning classes attended the Body Worlds RX exhibit at the Peoria Riverfront Museum. The exhibition features real human specimens preserved through Plastination, a technique that removes the fluids from the body and replaces them with plastics that harden. The specimens on display show impressive comparisons and contrasts between healthy bodies and organs from those stricken with disease. Particular emphasis is put on some of the most common ailments such as back pain, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases like arteriosclerosis and heart infarctions, dementia, and more. Students quotes: "I really enjoyed going to Body World because it showed every part of the body from arteries to muscles. It was fascinating to see what we are made of." "I was able to see how the inside of our body looks life-sized, and it was really fascinating."
