Jesus Muzik

Many people choose not to listen to Christian music because of lack of an upbeat performance. There are many Christian musical artists that can provide an upbeat feeling whilst sending a firm and devoted message to all even if they are not christians. The following are groups or individuals that rock for Christ: Lecrae, Trip Lee, Flame, Tedashii, T-Bone, KJ-52, Toby Mac, Flyleaf, Grits, Skillet, Mercy Me, Stephen Curtis Chapman and Dead Poetic.

Prom is Here

Prom is this Saturday and atmosphere is exciting and over whelming. There is talk about dates and flowers and more. The common color dress for LOCS is a black, so black dresses are in this season for the first at LOCS. We are hoping that the memories are going to be unforgettable. This is a girls night to remember, although we hope the guys care as much as we do. For a girl everything has to be perfect, the guys are just there for the free food(we love you guys). Prom is this Saturday, we hope every highschool student is able to attend.

I am hungry

For all who know me I am a very hungry person. Usually I go to any local Burger King, but if I am in a Mexican food mood I go to Seranos. Seranos is a nice place that has some very tasty enchiladas and very hot fajitas. Although Seranos is my favorite Mexican joint Burger King is the best of all time.
(Micah, we don't really care about how hungry you are. This article is undeniably unnecessary and irrelevant. Please stop making these, it's incredibly annoying to our readers and just down right dumb. Thank you; Matt)

--- Micah O. (Unfortunately)


No, we're just kidding, we all know and love Micah. Thanks for being you!

Bon Voyage Mrs. Pacetti

Mrs. Pacetti, our English/Latin/college prep/journalism/book club/piano/Omnibus/Filipino cultural studies teacher, is leaving because she is about to have her first baby! As she waits for the day she becomes a mother, she will be saying goodbye to her students. We as a school will miss her dearly as she leaves. So when you see her in the halls of LOCS give her a hug and say goodbye.

LOCS Art Fair

This week, Mrs. Padovani, the Art teacher, and Ms. Schoolfield have organized a full blown Art Fair. All LOCS students, along with anyone else who wants to come, can attend the Art Fair. It is currently being held in the cafeteria and LOCS will be holding an Open House on April 15th at 6:30 PM to display most of the Art students' artwork. On April 14th, all of the LOCS students were given a work sheet on which they had to chose one piece of artwork and write about it. The ages of the artists submitting their art ranges from four or five to over forty years old. Overall, this Art Fair has taken alot of planning, and alot hard work; we're hoping for the best!

Bridge building contest is over!

It has been a week since our bridge building contest. All of the entries did very well. There were many different designs. For grammar school this was a fun project, but for high school this counted as a grade. Along with building the bridge, the high school had to write a technical report which was due one week later Friday April, 11.

The grammar school students bridge starting to buckle under the weight of the bricks.

Blake Hawkins awaits to see how much his bridge can hold, in this picture it is holding about fifteen pounds.

Blake's bridge in the beginning as they place the brigde and set everthing up.

BJM (Ben B., Jade A., and Noah L.) Highschool students watch as weight was added to their bridge.

After the coplaspe of BJM's bridge the ponder what they could have done to make it better.

Noah and Samuel Lane gazing at the broken BJM's broken bridge.

Corrie Lane possioning her and Jessie Lane bridge in the spot she wishes while Mrs. Japser helps her.

Jacob B. and Cristina R. after their bridge broke.

Mrs. Hutson and Mrs. Jasper weighing The Blue Dimond's bridge.

Coolanna's bridge holding about nine pounds in the beginning.

We did have a two amazing bridges that held all of the weight that the teachers had on it.


The Toothpicks boy's bridge withstood all of bricks weight. On Monday of the next week this bridge held 129 lbs. before the brige rig for holding the weight broke.

Just like the toothpick boys, team Chicken Flavored Vegtables with stood all of the weight of the bricks. On Monday of the next week this bridge held 132 lbs. before the team decided to take the weight off because they had held the most weight and wanted to keep their bridge.

The Lock-In

Because the high school will attend a prom, the student council decided to do something for middle school. The Legacy Oaks middle school will organize a LOCK-IN! All week, they have sold water and wristbands for $2.00 in order to obtain money for food and activities. It is relatively unknown what Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis means or Antidisenstablishmentarianism, for that matter. The highschoolers are hoping they have fun.

Jabbawockeez Take the Title

As an update to the previous post, Jabbawockeez took the title as America's Best Dance Crew. "They had more finesse [than the other crew]," commented Jonathan Stewart, avid fan on the show.

The next major dance show to look forward to is Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance," which airs during the summer.
