The LCHS HOSA group, known as the LCHSStoptheDrugs Community Awareness group, is dedicated to encouraging and promoting positive growth within our community. Recently, the student members organized a bake sale during the LCHS College Fair & Higher Education Expo on Thursday, March 12th. LCHS HOSA representative, Preslie Laney, expressed gratitude for earning $1003.00 by stating, “We would like to thank everyone sincerely! We are grateful for the support and contributions of all who donated to our cause.”
On Monday, March 16th, HOSA members had the opportunity to meet with the directors and staff of the Ramey Estep ReGroup in Rush, KY, where they donated $1,003.00 to support the group's mission of hope and recovery. This generous contribution will benefit outpatient substance abuse therapies and an extracurricular fund. The extracurricular fund helps to promote activities for underprivileged youth. It will help to cover fees for youth football programs, YMCA memberships, attendance at Camp Webb, and more! Mrs. Adams, the LCHS HOSA sponsor, shared her pride, saying, “I am so incredibly proud of my students. They have such a willingness to work and a heart for helping others!"

BES: Student Leadership & Mentoring Program
Blaine Elementary School has initiated a student leadership and mentoring program for the 2025-2026 school year, which has significantly impacted both elementary and middle school students. The program is gaining traction within the school, providing middle school students with personal and academic growth through structured guidance, peer support, and skill-building activities. Mr. Jewell, the principal of BES, shared his observations of a middle school student who previously displayed behavioral issues. Since joining the program, this student has shown remarkable improvement in behavior and is developing positive relationships with elementary students. Mr. Jewell noted, “Witnessing the positive change in this student's personal growth has been incredible!”
Mrs. Withers, a middle school IDEA teacher, is one of the program's founders. She detailed how it operates: “Blaine Elementary has implemented a leadership program that harnesses the talents and skills of our 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students. This program helps in building leadership, responsibility, and school-wide motivation. It also helps our 8th graders prepare to transition to high school by increasing their independence and accountability. Middle school students have been assigned primary and intermediate classrooms. During breakfast, the teen leaders sit with their assigned classrooms and help to monitor the students. They help with tasks from opening milk, help with homework, or just talk with the students. The leaders also help keep students seated until it's time to line up for class. Leadership students line them up, take them to the bathroom, and then to class. We have had lots of positive feedback from the teachers. We can also see the positive effects in the gym during breakfast. It is much calmer; fewer kids are running around the gym. Also, we can see relationships forming not just in the gym but also in the hallways, as the little kids say hello and give hugs to the teen leaders each day.”
Continuing his discussion of the program’s success, BES Principal, Mr. Jewell, stated, “Our mentoring program provides academic support, positive role modeling, and social-emotional guidance. This program is designed to strengthen student leadership, improve academic outcomes, and promote a positive school culture through structured, supervised student mentoring relationships. I feel that this has had a tremendous impact on our school. Our elementary students benefit from individualized attention, increased confidence, improved academic skills, and stronger connections to school. Whereas middle school mentors gain valuable leadership experience, enhanced communication skills, and greater empathy and responsibility. Overall, the program promotes a culture of collaboration, respect, and inclusion. We have a remarkable group of students and staff who enable our program to flow smoothly and help to build relationships across our building. I am so proud of our mentoring program here at BES!”

This past Monday, agriculture students from LCHS—seniors Emily Holbrook, Mikka Horn, and Allison Maynard—showcased their ag projects at Blaine Elementary School. The trio engaged middle school students by teaching them how to transplant and care for seedlings. They also highlighted the opportunities available in the Career Technical Education (CTE) agriculture program at LCHS and the LC FFA. As BES hopes to introduce a middle school CTE program, the older students shared their ideas. Scooby, the lamb, was a tremendous success, as the younger students were thrilled to have the chance to pet and groom him! #LCisHome
