Natalie Karlsson, Asst. Web Editor|February 2, 2018

The Reserved Officer Training Corps (ROTC) is sponsoring the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Fund Drive for Lafayette from Tuesday, Feb. 6 to Saturday, Feb. 24.

Primary collections will be through an online collector; however, cash, coins and checks will also be accepted. Checks will be payable to LLS or the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Please forward the URL to friends and family to help ROTC reach their goal of $2,500.

This goal can easily be reached if each student in the school gives only $1.38. With help from family members, this goal can be exceeded.

Teachers will be able to send a request with their room number to Nathaniel Reed at [email protected] or Dave Cugier in the ROTC room to get a collection box.

“We’re trying to raise a much as possible for research towards new and better ways to fight Leukemia and Lymphoma,” Reed said. “We’ve participated for 15 years.”

Last year, according to the Spring 2017 Pamphlet from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Lafayette was the top earner in the “Top 5 High Schools” list. ROTC is sure they can do it again with the help of Lafayette students, parents and teachers.

Social Studies teacher Steve Klawiter will have his AP World History class take the digital exam this May. He said he looks forward to seeing how his students will perform on the exam. “Its been very clear theyre moving towards digital. Since the pandemic started, theyve been putting the pieces in place to go digital, Klawiter said. “I think that ultimately it’s going to be more beneficial because with systems like Canvas and Google Classroom, students are used to more digital activities and less handwriting activities.”

After downloading the Here Comes the Bus app, parents can create an account for students with a Rockwood-specific code. Initially, the code will be available for 14 Rockwood buses.
