With the start of the winter sports season, we would like to remind everyone to get your athletic punch cards to help reduce the cost of attending Lapeer Community Schools’ sporting events.
A punch card costs $25 and is good for $50 worth of entry fees for all LCS home events (including Hockey) except MHSAA sponsored tournament events.
For even more savings, if you purchase five (5) at one time in the Operations Department at the Administration and Services Center, you’ll get an additional punch card free.
In addition to the Administration and Services Center, punch cards also are available in the High School and Middle School offices.

West and East athletes are good sports
Good sportsmanship continues to be a high priority among Flint Metro League schools.
Instances of unacceptable sportsmanship are rare among league members, due in large measure to the proactive work of FML athletic directors and coaches. Positive reinforcement of outstanding sportsmanship continues with the league's long-standing recognition program. Every FML coach is asked to name the league opponent that showed the best sportsmanship during the recently concluded fall season.
Nine varsity teams from Lapeer high schools -- five at Lapeer West and four at Lapeer East -- were selected by opposing coaches for showing the best sportsmanship for the fall season of 2010:
At Lapeer West:
Volleyball (selected by three opponents)
Boys Cross Country (selected by two opponents)
Girls Cross Country (selected by one opponent)
Girls Swim (selected by one opponent)
Boys Tennis (selected by one opponent)
At Lapeer East:
Girls Cross Country (selected by three opponents)
Boys Soccer (selected by two opponents)
Boys Tennis (selected by two opponents)
Girls Swim (selected by one opponent)
For these teams to be considered the “Best of the Best” in sportsmanship by any opponent is noteworthy. Being chosen by more than one opponent is exemplary.
Congratulations are in order for these Lapeer East and Lapeer West athletes and their coaches on a job well done this fall season.

West athletes pitch in to harvest for the Food Bank
The Food Bank of Eastern Michigan needed a little help.
This year produced a bumper crop of squash, and there were thousands of them sitting in the fields of the Wiegand Farm in Almont with no one to harvest them.
Athletes at Lapeer West answered the challenge, and 143 Lapeer West athletes spent a good part of the day Tuesday collecting the remaining vegetables for donation to the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan.
The gleaning is part of the high school’s participation in the Channel 12 Spirit Squad which will be at the school Friday for a live broadcast at 5 a.m.
"They're gathering. They're collecting. There's a spirit and excitement about it," West Athletic Director Mary Haslinger told a reporter from WJRT-TV Channel 12.
"You get to be with all your friends and help the poor," added senior Beau Allen.
"I put out a call to all of my athletes, and 143 of them are here today," Haslinger said.
The 35-acre field was owned by George Wiegand, who died this spring. His daughter Cheryl Wiegand Stanek told the television reporter he would approve of the donation. "I just believe this is a gift from my dad from heaven to feed the poor. He always cared for the poor. He gave so much to the poor."
"Every week we're feeding close to 50,000 to 60,000 people. Right now in the fall, with the harvest, you can make squash soup. There are any number of ways the clients are going to use it. It's nice to have fresh produce," said Tracy Fowler-Johnson from the Food Bank.
"We're going to feed a lot of people who couldn't get food anywhere else," senior Jalen Houston told ABC12's Randy Conat.
