The three-story building opened as Lawrence Central High School in 1941, uniting Oaklandon, Castleton and Lawrence Schools, and became Belzer Junior High in 1963. With the addition of 6th grade, the building was renamed Belzer Middle School.

The Foundation is taking orders for the engraved, commemorative bricks. You can download an order form at www.msdltf.org or call 317-423-8300 for more information.

“It’s something we’ve wanted to do for a long time,” said yearbook adviser Kathy Francis, “so we decided this was the year to try.” The all-color yearbook has been a trend over the past years, with more and more schools switching.

“We’ve held out due to cost but with advertisement sales and book sales, we think we can find a way,” said Francis. The Lynx has traditionally had 32 pages of color plus the senior section in color.

“We are so excited to be a part of this,” said yearbook editor Debbie Merle. “Our entire staff is ready.”

The cost of the yearbook will remain $55, with a $5 increase after November 1. Students can order their yearbook at school through a yearbook staffer, or by going to room 142.

Senior Memory Ads are now being accepted as well. Parents can submit photos, messages, etc. to their seniors to be printed in the yearbook. These will also be in color. Sizes range from an eighth of a page to a full page and prices are from $60 to $300. Photos and messages can be submitted via email or the yearbook staff will scan them. All photos will be returned.

Through the generous support of the community, the fire department was able to provide Christmas assistance of food to over 500 families last year.  The department is counting on the citizens of Lawrence to open their hearts and their wallets again this year so that the holidays will be a little brighter for those in need.  There are no administrative costs involved; all donations will go to the families. Volunteers from the Lawrence fire service community provide the manpower for all collections, purchases, and deliveries.  Donations are tax deductible, as the fire department is a 501(c)(3) corporation.

The principals asked the students what they would like to see happen if their school brought in the most food items. They voted for the principal and assistant principal from the school with the most items to paint their hair blue and wear Colts attire for a day!

Oaklandon collected 5 more cans than Sunnyside but the principals decided the students did such a wonderful job of caring, so all four colored their hair blue on Friday, Oct. 10th.  Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Mankin from Sunnyside did morning announcements on the TV so they could celebrate with the students.  They even spent time in the cafe having fun while eating lunch.

Students will attend a 2 p.m. pep session, and a tailgate party open to the public will begin at 5 p.m.

Homecoming king and queen will be crowned at halftime. King candidates are seniors Blake Cook, Taylor Marshall, Andrew Ruggles, Zack Saunders, Colin Van Wye and Kyle Yamafuji. Queen candidates are Amanda Bowman, Diana Cardenas, Ambor Graves, Emily Krauter, Page Thomas and Shatara Williams.

The Clothing Drive is the idea of Danielle Lopez-Roque and Maria Strati, both fifth graders in Travis Owens' class. They wanted to "do something to help those in need."

Donations from the community are welcome and can be dropped off at Crestview's main office, 7600 E. 71st Street in Indianapolis.

“Thirty years of hard work, great athletes, outstanding assistants and great support from our school community have led to this opportunity,” Holman wrote on his Lawrence Township Schools-sponsored blog.

“This ranks as one of the finest experiences I have had professionally and will be hard to top,” said Holman, adding this qualifier: “Having said that, I have the most fun and enjoyment working with young people helping to develop their athletic dreams and laying a foundation for life.”

Who knows, maybe one of Holman’s young athletes will go on to become a future track and field superstar. Then he could be videotaping one of his own at the 2012 Olympics in London!

The Choral and Drama Department is also co-sponsoring the Performing Arts Series at LN, part of which involves performing acts from around the country performing. The first event to get scheduled is Second City on October 16. Second City is the world-famous improv and sketch comedy troupe based in Chicago where many famous actors have gotten their start (Bill Murray, John Candy, Steven Colbert, Shelley Long, George Wendt, and Steve Carrell, to name but a tiny fraction).  They’ll perform at 7:30 PM on October 16. Tickets are $18.
