This weekend I experienced Forest Bathing. It’s one of those things that I’ve read about that helps make your life more mindful. My family and I were hiking in some local mountains, and I, not being in tip-top shape, was falling behind the others. I started to feel really bad about it, but then, I thought what if I looked at the situation a little differently? So instead of putting myself down that I couldn’t keep up, I started to enjoy the solitary time. I noticed the different sounds, smells, and sights of the beautiful forest. It was so restful and wonderful. I was amazed to see how quickly I went from feeling stressed to feeling calm and happy.
My thoughts then went to our students. If they could learn to take a moment and switch their perspective from a negative to a positive outlook on themselves, they would be able to change those stressful thoughts into kind ones toward themselves.
May you all have a wonderful week!

Additionally, we are looking for 7/8 music parents to help us organize the event. This is a great and fun way to get involved in the Instrumental Music program. If you are interested, please contact Adam Kline.

Oct 1, 2019 | Mr. Stone's Thought Of The Week
What a crazy week we have in store for us as Homecoming week lands on LCHS. Lots of music and fun all week. Come out and see the band on the parade route or during the football game. We will be keeping everyone smiling and having a good time.
October has arrived, so hopefully you have all signed up for the New York trip. This is a hard deadline as we are getting plane seats and such together soon. Sign up today.
October also means that the first string concert is coming soon. I know both groups are working hard to prepare a great concert! Can’t wait to hear them as well.

I am so glad that students from the music department were able to go to hear the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra in concert on Saturday night at the Alex Theater. Jaime Martin is the new conductor, and he really took hold of those reins! It was a fun and rewarding concert to play, and I am happy that several students were there to hear it!
October 1st is the deadline for signing up for the Carnegie Hall trip! This is an experience of a lifetime; you don’t want to miss it! Parents are encouraged to come! It will be an amazing trip! Sign up now!
