💚 A heartfelt THANK YOU to Placid Lakes Baptist Church! 💚

On Friday, August 1st, our LPHS staff was treated to a delicious lunch and thoughtful gifts—packs of markers reminding us of the important mark we leave on our students and school community.

Your kindness, encouragement, and support mean so much as we kick off the 2025–26 school year. We are grateful for your continued partnership!

🐉 Go Green Dragons! 🐉
