After a busy first semester of the 2022-2023 school year, LHS kicked off February break with the well-known winter carnival. It is a fun event where all classes – dressed in their individual color – compete against each other in games like the “pie-eating contest,” “three-legged race,” and “boccer” – a combination of basketball and soccer. I documented the festivities with pictures and videos. Have a look!
