Patricia D:. Jackimowicz, I.E. P. facilitator at Lake- Lehman reported that presently there are 57 students participating in the gifted program at Lake-Lehman. Eight of these: are new par- ticipants, selected as a result of the recent by the professional team. It is anticipated that additional students will be identified for the program as the referral and screening process con- tinues. Parent-Student-Fac- ilitator I.E.P. conferences have been held for most of these students and in- dividualized educational programs are currently being authored. Parent cooperation has been at an extremely high level, as indicated by the 53 parents who participated in the planning con- ferences. As in the past, the ap- proach to gifted education will continue to be one of diversity and flexibility. Participating students will, hopefully, reap the educational levels. and creative skills required by these students. An exciting component of the program again this year is the cooperative ventures of the faculty and students across age- grade and educational levels. Topics for exploration cover a broad range of interests and talents which utilize the com- bined abilities of our faculty and. community resources. Especially noteworthy this year is the junior high school program where a team teaching approach is being utilized during a regularly scheduled period of the school day. This replaces the in- dependent study concept and provides op- portunities for these students in both the sciences and the arts. Gifted education con- tinues to be a challenging adventure in learning. It is expected that the year will be exciting, creative, and fulfilling for all.

She says the teachers are excellent and very helpful. “They really care about our welfare”, said Susan. Susan believes that the seniors should be able to go off campus for lunch. She also would like the students to have more freedom than they do now. ‘Students should have a lounge or something similar instead of having to go to a study hall during a free period.

A senior, the young Knight is a student in the high school’s college prep program and after graduation, he hopes to enter the U.S. Naval Academy where he plans to major in nuclear engineering. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Drugotch of Huntsville, Jeff has a brother, Scott, a fresh- man at Lake-Lehman. Originally from the Harrisburg area the Drugotch family moved to the local area when Jeff was in third grade. Jeff is busy from August through the first part of November with football practice and competition so he has little time for other ac- tivities. However, he does plan to go out for baseball in the spring. Jeff is a B student but just missed the honor roll. During his junior year, he had a role in the Junior class play. An outdoorsman, Jeff likes anything to do with nature particularly camping. He also enjoys working with leather and has made belts, wallets, key cases and similar items. Jeff likes to travel and with his family has been to Canada and the New England States in their camper. They also traveled to the southern tip of Florida and while touring visited Disney World. The Drugotches have a swimming pool (they put most of the pool in themselves) and get a lot of use from it. Jeff enjoys swimming and said he really ap- preciated the pool last summer when he was working with Heck Construction Company. “That was a memorable experience,’ said Jeff. “I never worked so hard in my life. I was up at 5:30 a.m. and got home exhausted at 4:30 p.m. I sure appreciated the pool then. ‘Construction work also convinced me that I wanted a college education in some field.” According to Jeff, the students at Lake-Lehman are close to one another. “It’s like one big family,” said Jeff, “And the teachers give special attention to the students. They do more than they have to to help us.” “We should have more social activities evenings and weekends for the students--it would bring the students even closer together. “The nutrition breaks initiated this year have helped a lot. The students relax, then return to class ready to work.” The Lake-Lehman Band Lake Lehman High School tickets are available at goods also will be on sale Sponsors Association will cafeteria. $3.25 for adults and $1.75 at the supper. hold a spaghetti supper on Chairman Gerald for children under 12.
