Thumbs Up

Thumbs Up to National Honor Society for sponsoring a tailgate for the Whiston Family.  Members and sponsors coordinated the tailgate which included hot dogs, chips, drinks, and dessert for a donation.  The club also had corn hole set up in the side yard.

Proceeds from the event went to Jena and John Whiston.  Mrs. Whiston is an English/Journalism teacher at LCHS who has been on medical leave for nearly a year.  Mrs. Whiston has Lyme Disease which has caused her a variety of serious health problems which rendered her unable to work/walk for long periods of time.

Mrs. Whiston was planning to return to LCHS this year when she faced a very serious setback which kept her hospitalized for quite some time.

She is married to Mr. John Whiston, assistant principal.  They have five children.

Honor Society members wanted to assist the family in meeting medical expenses and expenses incurred from Mrs. Whiston’s time off work.
