Showcase of Scholars
Event Overview
The Showcase of Scholars is held at the end of each academic year to celebrate our students and their many accomplishments. Students in grades PreK-12 receive certificates of completion for their hard work and awards are given to those students who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement, outstanding leadership qualities, and exemplary work within the community. The event is preceded by a reception for students, families, and guests where they have a chance to network and members of the community have the opportunity to get to know some of the LSF Scholars.
