Dear LWES Community,

This week our students will be participating in a worldwide program known as “The Hour of Code”. Last year, 15 million students tried computer science in one week. This year, we're joining students worldwide to reach 100 million students! 
 

We live in a world surrounded by technology and we know that whatever field our students choose to go into as adults, their ability to succeed will increasingly hinge on understanding how technology works. Only a tiny fraction of us are learning computer science, and less students are studying it than a decade ago, that’s why our entire school is joining in on the largest learning event in history: The Hour of Code, during Computer Science Education Week (Dec. 8-14).
 

Please make sure to ask your student about this unique experience happening throughout the week!  Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to see pictures all week long!
