FCL Helps SECU
Fellowship of Christian
Leaders Club is in the
process of trying to help the
SECU House stock it’s
shelves.
The SECU House is a non –
profit organization that
houses family members of
hospital patients in Chapel
Hill, NC. Some of our
Lumberton Senior High
families have had to use the
SECU House from time to
time.
Now, it’s our turn to give
back and help stock the
house for others. Anyone
that wishes to contribute
may drop the donation off at
LHS. We accept ready to eat
foods, gift cards, toiletries
and office supplies. Contact
Cheryl Jacobs 827-0517 for
questions.
Faculty/Student Blow-Out!
The Faculty at Lumberton
Senior High School
challenged the junior and
senior classes to an intense
basketball game on
December 18 th . The game
was suggested by Tyler
Hammonds, 12 th grade class
president. He wanted to help
a family in need for
Christmas.
The girl’s game consisted of
5 minute quarters and the
faculty ladies took the
victory. The guy’s game was
a full game with the senior
boys going home with the
victory. There was
entertainment by the LHS
Step team.
The students planned the
event and collected enough
money to be able to help two
families for Christmas.
Being able to help, touched,
not only the families they
helped, but the students as
well.
Eco-Pirates Recycling
Program
The Student Government
Association of LHS began a
recycling program, known
as Eco-Pirates, last school
year. The Eco-Pirate began
collecting recycling
materials in classrooms and
delivering them to a central
location in Lumberton.
Students used their own
vehicles and gas to deliver
these materials free of
charge.
The program has progressed
so much that we now have
our very own recycling bin
on campus. Now, nothing
goes to waste LHS.
It’s Peanut-Butter Jelly Time
Teacher Cadets was
contacted by Back-Pack Pals
of Lumberton that they were
in need of peanut butter for
the Christmas holidays.
Teacher Cadets in
conjunction with the Student
Government Association
advertised and were able to
collect 140 jars of peanut
butter to donate to Back-
Pack Pals.
Back-Pack Pals is
organization that packs
backpacks with ready to eat
food for needy children
children right here in
Robeson County. Lumberton
High School was more than
happy to help and be a part
of giving back.

Super Santa in the House!
Mr. Adrian Hammonds

students at LHS. Students
from all grades were
nominated by their teachers

nominated, the better their
chances were to win. Mr.

staying focused, working
hard and achieving greatness
at school. The students were
really excited and enjoyed
the show. Mr. Hammonds
dressed as Super Santa to
present to super students.

students and Mr.
Hammonds.
Senior Macbook Rollout
On Monday, December 17 th ,
from 4-6 there were a lot of
anxious and excited seniors
at LHS. The students were
about to be the first of many
to receive their own personal
Macbook Pro. As explained
by technology coordinators,
Lydia Locklear and Allison
Lemanski, as well as Mr.
Larry Obeda, Principal and
Dr. Johnny Hunt,
Superintendent, LHS had
received a three year Federal
Technology grant to
implement technology
throughout the school and
for the students. LHS was
able to obtain and distribute
Macbook Pro laptops or
iPads for all of the students
at LHS. The parents and
students were responsible
for paying a $25 usage fee
and completing official
paperwork. Over 100
students were there to
participate in this very
historical event and many
students continue to collect
on this great opportunity.
LHS is striving to become a
green school and encourage
students daily to use the
technology we have
available to go paperless.
Juniors will receive their
Macbook Pros in February
and sophomores and
freshmen are expected to
receive their iPads in the
spring. We anticipate the
turn out to be extraordinary.
