It’s Wish Week! Our Student Council has worked hard for weeks to arrange an exciting array of events, kicking off with TOURIST DAY on Tuesday. We are excited for you to learn more about 12-year-old Alex, our awesome Make-A-Wish friend. Your participation in the fun events this week, including the Apres Ski Soiree Snowball Dance this Saturday, will help Alex’s wish to visit Washington D.C. come true! Additional donations are also greatly appreciated to support this wonderful boy. Scroll down for all the details.
Also, we enjoyed meeting prospective freshmen at our 8th Grade Night last Wednesday. A huge thank you to one of our amazing LP grads, Joe Graff, who created this “Day in the Life of an LPHS Student” video for the event.
Open Enrollment ends on February 13. Please spread the word to welcome any potential incoming freshmen to attend one of our Friday tours and enroll.
Looking forward to a wonderful Wish Week! Enjoy your holiday on Monday.

What is RAD?
RAD events are put on by students, for students, and are a way for high school students to have fun on Friday nights. By offering an alternative to parties, RAD keeps students safe while still providing them with the social events they enjoy.
RAD is a program that was started by Palmer Ridge student Brandon Pappas to change the culture of drugs and drinking that is pervasive in many high schools across the country.
The program currently has chapters at Palmer Ridge High School and Lewis-Palmer High School. Details can be found at https://ppymca.org/programs/youth/teens/rad-program/
