Easter is coming up quickly (just 20 days away)!!!! If you're like me and March has seemed to disappear, then you are realizing Easter is quickly approaching! If you would like some assistance with your Easter egg hunt this year, the LPA National Honor Society has you covered! This year, the National Honor Society will again be selling and hiding Easter eggs as a fundraiser to support local families during the holidays. Easter eggs may be purchased in sets of 25 for $10 per set. Each set of 25 contains 14 toy-filled eggs and 11 candy-filled eggs. Eggs will be hidden after dusk on Saturday, April 8th, so they are ready for children to wake up and find on Easter morning! To order, submit online (https://forms.gle/W93yNoQZ7E5P24bf9) and return payment to the high school office. Reach out to NHS Advisor Mrs. Vickmark with any questions: mvickmark@lpa.k12.mn.us
