     Hello and welcome back to another exciting year at the Lehman Alternative Community School.  I hope your first week of school went well and you're all enjoying your classes.  Through all this hectic activity, remember to stay calm and take time to relax as well.

      This is the very first issue of the LACS Student Newsletter for the 2008-2009 calendar.  It's still in the works but remember to check back as cool, new things are bound to crop up.  A new issue will be posted every Sunday night to Monday morning where you can find new opportunities or interesting stories to read.  Be sure to tell your friends about it, too!

      If you're interested in writing articles about our school or have your own ideas about what might make this newsletter better, feel free to submit them to drazzeltiger@hotmail.com.  I'd also like to post short stories or poems so if you write something for a class or for fun and want to share it with the school, send it to me in an  e-mail. 

      Within the next few weeks, there will also be an 'Ask Antal' section for all those nagging questions about life, the universe and, most importantly, technology.  You can e-mail me your questions and see Antal's answer in the next issue!
