L: "College Day" at Larson, R: Student Film Festival
It was a fun and spirited week as we joined with AHS to support their upcoming Charity Week. We had Spirit Dress Days, a very competitive Penny War, held a device day at lunch, and concluded with a student film festival on Thursday afternoon. Even in a shortened week due to today's snow day, nearly $3000 was raised for Street Medicine Detroit, whose mission is to ensure access to quality medical care for Detroit’s homeless population. Thanks to LMS STUCO, Mr. Heugh, and Mr. Helfrich for organizing our activities.
