Principal’s Report 5/2/14
Dear Lumen Christi,
May is here! A special thank you to everyone who helped with Cinco de Mayo. It was a wonderful event and although the numbers are not yet final, we believe it was the most successful Cinco fundraiser for the school to date. As May is here, the end of school is just around the corner and this is the last full week of school for our seniors. The following are a few updates as we push forward through the final stretch.
There will be a PVO meeting tomorrow night, Tuesday, May 6 at 7 PM in the library. We appreciate everyone’s continued support as we wrap up the school year.
The alumni basketball game is Thursday night, May 8 at 6 PM in the Lumen gymnasium. Please come support our current and former athletes in this full-filled event! Due to the alumni basketball game, there will not be tutoring on May 8.
Wednesday, May 17 is the St. Benedict’s Clean-up day. This is a great opportunity for the school to work with the parish and prepare the grounds for the summer.
Baccalaureate Mass is 7 PM on Wednesday, May 14 at St. Benedict’s. Lumen Christi graduation is 7 PM on Thursday, May 15 at the Lumen gymnasium. All are welcome!
Do you need to take Health Class? Mrs. Craig will be teaching it this summer from June 9 – 19. Space is limited. Registration and payment must be turned into the office by May 16 to hold your spot. Please contact the front desk at (907) 245-9231 if you have questions.
The school is continuing its enrollment for next year. If you need a registration packet, please contact Mrs. Estes at the front desk. Her phone number is (907) 245-9231. Due to the capacity of the building, each grade is limited to 20 students. Once a grade is full, the school will start a waiting list. Also, students who enroll before May 15 will be under the current tuition schedule. Students who enroll after May 15 will pay the tuition increase that will be put in place this fall.
After many years in the Lumen Christi Library, Mrs. Marchetti has announced that she will be retiring at the end of next year. We are therefore looking for a well-organized person willing to be trained to take her place. Next year this would entail working 4 hours one day per week. The following year it would become a larger part-time job, with the new person taking over responsibility for managing the library. Tasks will include keeping the on-line catalog up-to-date, managing patron use, as well as ordering and processing new books. If you are interested, please contact the school office.
The youth are putting on another Italian feast and auction to be held on May 10th at 6pm. Dinner will be served in the basement of St. Benedicts Church. It is a St. Benedict fundraiser for World Youth Day 2016 in Poland. Tickets can be purchased by e-mailing Mr. McMorrow at rmcmorrow2@aol.com.
Finally, with the end of the year closing in, it is time to ensure your share hours are accounted for in the school log book at the front desk. We’ve seen various parents working events, but the share hours are missing. Share hours will be billed this month at $35 per hour if they are not logged. If there is any issues, don’t panic – just give me a call and we will work to ensure records are correct.
We appreciate everyone’s continued prayers and support for Lumen Christi High School!
In Christ,
John Harmon
Principal, Lumen Christi High School
