On Wednesday, March 20, World Culture Club sponsored a “Dance Party” intended to demonstrate formal dance moves. Erna Vanhelfteren, a former teacher from Canterbury and South Side High Schools, showed the attendees the quickstep, chacha, rumba, foxtrot and waltz. Her goal is for the students to be able to listen to today’s music and realize they can do these cool ballroom moves at semiformal and prom. Everyone had a great time! #LuersSpirit

Tammy and Rhonda from Indiana Donor Network visited Mrs. Arford's science class yesterday to talk about the importance of organ donation. Rhonda shared her story as a donor mom and Tammy taught the class how to make an informed decision about signing up to be a donor. This is a subject close to Mrs. Arford's heart, as she is a donor mom. Madelyn (her newborn daughter) was a heart donor in 2000 and a donor Aunt, and Mrs. Arford's niece Angela and nephew Jonathan were donors in 2002. #LuersSpirit

Today BLHS had a Lenten All-School Mass in the gymnasium, with Fr. Patrick Hake celebrating. In the homily, he mentioned how having everyone present and cheering at the recent Girls Basketball State Championship game helped our team to bring home the win (having the "home team advantage"). He then compared this to having the home team advantage in life. He stressed the idea of being more present instead of using cellphones/screens as a break from reality or a distraction, allowing ourselves to experience life in its fullness. #LuersSpirit
