Please join us in congratulating Lamphere High School (LHS) senior, Eric Chung, who was recently awarded the Academic Games Layman Allen Top Senior Player award for the 2009-2010 season.

This prestigious award honors a graduating senior player as nominated by fellow players, coaches, or siblings. This award does not necessarily go to the strongest player in the games but rather honors the player who personifies the qualities of self-motivation, kindness, determination to help others succeed in the games.

Eric was nominated by LHS Coach Melissa Cragg who has had the pleasure of coaching Eric for the last 6 years as a member of both the LHS and Page Academic Games teams. To read Cragg's nomination letter, CLICK HERE

Our 5th annual Trivia Night was another huge success in support of the Lamphere Scholarship Fund. Over 300 people from our community, staff, board of education, administration, friends and family were on hand for an evening of fun, trivia, door prizes and of course a few raffles. Together we raised $6,500 for the Scholarship Fund.

"Thank you to everyone for being here tonight, for helping to make this event possible and for caring about our students," said Marsha Pando, Lamphere's Superintendent. "Because of you and your generosity we've awarded 51 scholarships over the last four years since the Scholarship Fund was instituted. Your donations and participation are making it possible for us to award even more scholarships this year and for years to come."
