Principal’s Update:

Thank you to all in our community who rose to the occasion and answered the call for volunteers to support our hosting of the Regional basketball tournament over the next few days. I’m always in awe of the level of support and commitment of our parents and families! Thank you! Please come out to cheer our teams on to victory!

As we look beyond Spring Break and into Lent, we have populated our calendar above with opportunities for Stations of the Cross, all school Rosary, and Lenten Reconciliation Services. These events will take place, as per the schedule, during our 7th period elective time. So students will participate in these liturgical activities in lieu of study hall or any other assigned elective (riflery, yearbook, etc.). I ask that all students on early dismissal remain in the school building on these days and attend with the rest of the school. Exceptions will be granted to those students attending King Tech, jobs, or any other hard scheduling requirement. Our final Stations of the Cross will be during the 7th period on Holy Thursday, April 14th just prior to dismissal for the Triduum and Easter weekend.

After Spring Break, we will also renew a pre-COVID Lumen tradition of Friday Lenten Soup Lunches! These will start on Friday, March 18th and continue through Lent. As you will see, we will alternate between high school and junior high (opposite the Wednesday Hot Lunch schedule), so that all students have an opportunity for at least one hot lunch per week. By tradition, Lumen teachers prepare simple, meatless soups, chowder, mac and cheese, and other “crockpotable” items and sell bowls for $2-3 dollars. We usually have bread rolls as well. Monies earned go to support a local charity. In the past, these Friday meals have been a great way to focus our students on Lenten ideals of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

I have asked Anchorage Police Officer Butler, who is the Student Resource Officer at Dimond High School, to come and speak to our students about internet and social media safety. He will be at school during 7th period on Tuesday, March 29th.

Finally, it is hard to believe that we are halfway through the semester already. Our students have been doing great and deserve a week off. On behalf of our entire school staff, have a blessed and safe Spring Break! We will see you at the basketball tournament and then again on March 14th!
