We are encouraging students to bring in canned and packaged food and drinks for the LAX Food Pantry this week. The Student Council is sponsoring a contest to motivate students to get excited and involved in the Food Drive, so please bring in those cans by Friday!

If you ordered Choice Lunch for Wednesday, it's not too late to adjust your order! On the Choice Lunch website, go to the "Change/Cancel" tab and cancel the lunch for Wednesday, November 17. You can receive a credit on your account or apply the lunch for another day.
