Dear Parents,

 

The year is off to a great start. It is hard to believe that September is almost over. We are not sure where the time has gone but the students are back into routine and the school is running smoothly.

 

Thank you to everyone who participated in our bottle drive last Saturday. It was a great success as many hands make light work. This was the first fund raiser to help pay for our students ages 13-18 go to International Student Convention in Indiana in May. We raised approximately $1500 which is a great start.

 

Our “Terry Fox” run is Thursday, September 26. This is a great opportunity to be involved in something larger than ourselves and be a blessing beyond “these four walls”. Please have all the sponsor money in by Tuesday, October 1. If you are wanting to join us, please be at the Provincial Park Day Use Area at 12:30 as that is when we will begin our run or at noon if you would like to join our picnic lunch.

 

School pictures are on Monday, October 7. Please ensure that your children are dressed in an outfit that you approve of for school pictures and meets the school dress code. Chapel dress is required as it is a Monday.

 

Our first Parent Council Meeting will be on Monday, October 7 at 7:00 pm. It will be held in the learning center. I encourage any parent who can make it, to attend this first meeting as more information will be shared that evening about the school year.

 

The students do need to be in full Phys. Ed. uniform for gym class every Tuesday and Thursday. Non-marking running shoes are required when wearing their gym uniform indoors. The students will have to carry them into the Energy Centre starting in November and March, so they require a pair of shoes to wear there and back. If your child is wearing a hoodie with their gym uniform, we would prefer it to be the LCA gym uniform hoody.

 

We would like to thank all the parents who are coming to help in the various areas. You are such a blessing to the students and us. It really does help the school run more effectively and efficiently when you volunteer. If you are interested to volunteer, please contact the school office. We will do our very best to accommodate your schedule.

 

Please continue to pray for the students and staff as the year progresses.

 

God bless you,

 

Lynda Amesmann

Principal
