Carol Nowakowski has been a cornerstone of LHUSD since 1994 and her return to Thunderbolt Middle School has been nothing short of transformative.

As our Dean of Students, Carol brings an unmatched combination of intelligence, kindness, and capability to everything she does. She holds us all accountable, not with a heavy hand, but with genuine care for our collective success. Her expertise in data analysis and student achievement has become invaluable to our mission, and her unwavering commitment to supporting our staff and students is truly remarkable.

Carol doesn't just manage; she empowers. She's the person who asks the hard questions, celebrates the wins, and shows up with solutions. Her door is always open, her insight is always sharp, and her dedication is always steadfast.

If you'd like to show your appreciation, here's what keeps Carol going:
☕ Coffee in hand, 24/7 — Her fuel of choice! She always has coffee in hand, no matter the time of day.
Favorite: Mocha from any coffee place
🍫 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups — A sweet treat for a sweet leader
🌮 Tacos — The ultimate comfort food

💜 PURPLE UP DAY 💜

Wednesday, our school community came together to honor the brave men and women who serve our country. Purple Up Day recognizes and celebrates the military-connected families in our community. Students wore purple to show solidarity with those who serve, and today our families joined us to make it extra special. 💪

Here's what made Purple Up Day amazing:
✨ Military Recognition – We celebrated the service members among us
✨ Flag Folding Ceremony – A solemn and meaningful tribute by Marine Corp League Detachment 757
✨ Community BBQ – Thanks to Taher for keeping everyone fueled on the patio!

A huge thank you to all our military families for your service and sacrifice. Your courage inspires us every single day.

To our students: you showed such respect and pride on Wednesday.

We see you. We honor you. Thank you for your service. 💜

🎭 What a night! Our Theater Club absolutely crushed it last night at the LHHS Little Theater! 🌟

When our middle schoolers took the stage, they brought the magic—performing an incredible collection of songs from their favorite musicals! 🎬✨

This production was truly a district effort. We're so grateful to our amazing mentors who traveled to support these students:

✨ Mrs. Murphy (Starline Elementary)
✨ Mrs. Vesley & Ms. Iseminger (Jamaica Elementary)
✨ Mr. Fallis (LHHS)

Your guidance, encouragement, and belief in these kids helped them shine on stage. You've shown them what it means to dream big and work hard. 💚

Proud of our students. Grateful for our village. 🎉

We are incredibly grateful to have such dedicated paraprofessionals on the Thunderbolt campus. Every single day, they show up with energy, compassion, and a genuine commitment to our students' success.

What makes them special:
They go the extra mile — Whether it's one-on-one support, managing classrooms, or providing individualized attention to students who need it most, our paraprofessionals are always ready to step in.

They build relationships — Students light up when they see them. They know our kids by name, understand their strengths, and celebrate their victories—big and small.

They support our teachers — By handling countless tasks and providing classroom support, our paraprofessionals free up teachers to focus on instruction and planning.

They create a welcoming environment — Their friendly faces and positive attitudes help make T-Bolt a place where every student feels seen and valued.

We see you, and we appreciate you. The impact you have on our school community is immeasurable.

Thank you for being such an essential part of Team T-Bolt!
