For 2020 Our class awarded two $1,000 scholarships
This year, due to the Coronavirus, LEHS was not able
to have an actual Awards Ceremony. We are happy to report because of some
very generous classmates we were able to present two $1,000 scholarships. This
year we limited the candidates to grandchildren of our classmates as long as
they met the requirements. We had two candidates apply and were happy to
present each of them with our LEHS Class of ’65 Scholarship.
Our scholarship recipients are:
1). Tyler Drinan (Grandson of Linda Wurdeman Curcuru) ranks in the top 30
percent of his class, was an Honor Roll student for all four years & plans
to attend Franklin Pierce University where he will major in Sports Management.
Tyler loves playing and following sports; played soccer for the first two years
@ LEHS and football for his final two years as the starting kicker; played four
years of basketball and was on the team who won the Massachusetts Division 1
boys state basketball tournament for the first time since 1938. Tyler has been
a reliable Aide to the Vice-principals, volunteered at Lavender Day Soccer Camps
along with working three years at Market Basket. Tyler also has completed the
two-year Cisco Academy program to become a certified IT professional.
2). Ryan Bursey (Grandson of Pat Johnson Morley) also ranks in the top 30 percent of his class & plans to attend Plymouth State University where he will major in Nursing. He was a member of the LEHS Football team and the All-Lynn lacrosse team. Ryan has worked part-time at Zumiez and Vinwood Catering.
Tyler and Ryan have both worked very hard during their years at LEHS; we are sorry their graduation plans and all their classmates’ plans, etc. were so impacted by the Pandemic. We wish them both much success & happiness in college and in life.
Thank you to those of you who generously donated this year to make it possible for our class to give a second scholarship.
Holidays
Thanksgiving is the day we pause to give thanks for the things we have.
Memorial day is a day when we pause to give thanks to the people who fought for the things we have.
LEHS JROTC brings home the BACON!!!
Congratulations to the team. They have once again done a terrific job. Thank you to everyone who made a donation to these hard working students. We wish them nothing but the best in their future competitions.
OPPORTUNITY TO ASSIST LEHS JUNIOR ROTC
Once again, we are putting this well deserved group’s request out here. Please see the attached letter below submitted by one of our classmates and take this opportunity to consider making a personal donation to this worthy cause. No donation is too small. These “kids” work really hard to compete and more often than not win their drill competitions. If you’ve ever seen them perform, they are amazing. ROTC was very instrumental in making our tour of LEHS in conjunction with our 50th reunion a success under the direction of Sargeant Major Oswald. SgtMaj Oswald is a very dedicated leader and LEHS is very fortunate to have him. Many of the kids come from some very tough/poor homes and ROTC teaches them responsibility and respect, their grades improve and most go on to pursue a higher education after high school. Any donation would be appreciated.
Thank you for your consideration.

Veterans Day 2019
Veterans Day, celebrated each year on Nov. 11, is a chance to honor those who’ve served our country. Not to be confused with Memorial Day, when we remember those who’ve died in service, Veterans Day is all about acknowledging and thanking our military members, both past and present, for their courage and sacrifices. In addition to Bar B Qing with friends, Here are 12 ways you can make this holiday more meaningful.
Attend a Veterans Day Parade
One way to show support to veterans is by showing up at your local community Veterans Day parade.
Visit Memorials and Museums
Throughout the nation there are many memorials and museums commemorating the sacrifices, courage and history of our military men and women.
Send Care Packages
Show deployed troops your support by sending them care packages abroad.
Reach Out to Veterans In Your Family and Community
While thanking a vet is great, listening to them share their stories is even better.
Volunteer or Donate to Military Support Organizations
Volunteering for or donating to organizations that help veterans, active duty military and their families
Teach Your Grandchildren About the Military
Honoring the men and women who’ve served our country begins by teaching our kids about the military, including the history of our armed forces
Place Flags on Veterans’ Graves
Cemeteries may be spooky for some people, but for others, they’re an important reminder of the people we’ve lost
Read a Book About Military History
Learning about the past is an important way to understand the future.
Watch a Historical War Film
Movies can be entertaining and educational, making them a great way to learn about the history of our nation.
Have a Moment of Silence
For a century, it’s been tradition to take a moment of silence at 11 a.m. on the 11th day of the 11th month to commemorate the anniversary of the end of World War I in 1918.
Pay the Tab for a Vet
You don’t have to wait for Veterans Day to do something meaningful for vets. Whenever you’re out to eat, pay attention to the customers around you. Is there a veteran in the same line or seated at a table nearby? Use the opportunity to pick up their tab. You can even do so anonymously.
Make Your Porch Light Green
For just a few dollars you can do something this Veterans Day to show your support to vets and all it takes is changing a bulb. By swapping out your regular porch light with a green lightbulb, you’re participating in a nationwide movement known as Greenlight a Vet, which lets veterans in your area know you acknowledge and honor their service and sacrifices.
