Another installment of the weekend update with Assistant Principal Jonathan Marina

Good afternoon Largo High Family. This is assistant principal Jonathan Marina. Welcome to another installment of the weekend update.

Wearing of masks on campus is a non-negotiable. Please help us with this and encourage your child to wear the mask correctly, covering both their mouth and nose. Thank you in advance.

The Octagon Club is helping to reinstitute the school's Food Pantry. If you don't know, there are many more families here at Largo that either are homeless or food insecure and have difficulty getting what they need. An on-campus food pantry allows LHS students and their families pick up items to help them out. At the beginning of the pandemic, our School Social Worker, Tari Connell, smartly gave out all the food we had in the pantry so it wouldn't go to waste. But that means the cupboard is bare! It's time to restock. You can help by supporting The Octagon Club’s Canned Food Drive. It will run from January 20th-February 5.

The PTSA wants to thank everyone who donated to the gift card drive for LHS families in need. Together we collected over $1262 in gift cards and helped a lot of families have a happier holiday season. Thank you so much.

On Tuesday we have boys’ basketball at home against East Lake at 6:15. On Wednesday we have wrestling here at 6:15 for Senior Night. Boys’ soccer is home on Friday night at 7 pm and Boys basketball is at Manatee High.

As always, thank you for taking the time to listen. We are on a mission. The mission is graduation. Don't forget the mission.
