Principal’s Report 04/01/2015
Dear Lumen Family:
Our blessings to all during Holy Week. The following are important announcements as we near the close of the school year.
Easter Monday: Student Government is hosting an Easter Egg hunt for the student body first thing Monday morning. All students should head to the gym upon arrival to the school instead of the front entrance. There will be a short assembly in the morning and then the students will be released to hunt for eggs. It is a fun tradition that the students look forward to doing…Thank you Student Government!!
JH Testing: The 7th and 8th graders will be taking the Terra Nova on Tuesday and Thursday mornings next week.
Cinco de Mayo: Lumen Christi is hosting its Fifth Annual Cinco de Mayo celebration on Saturday, May 2, in the LCHS gymnasium. Parent volunteers are needed so if you still need share hours and would like to help, please contact the front office. There are jobs to be done now and the day of the event. Tickets are $20 per person or $300 per table. Please call our school office for reservations at 907-245-9231.
Registration for 2015-16 School Year: Re-Enrollment is in full swing and I just want to remind everyone to get your re-enrollment packets turned in soon.
Want to save money on tuition? Did you know that we have an Incentive Discount Program? Here are the details:
A family or household who has referred a student to Lumen Christi will receive a $500 incentive discount per student referred who has successfully enrolled at Lumen Christi up to $2,500. Referred families must specify the referral at the time of registration for the current families to receive this discount.

The cost of the course is just $99 and includes the materials and practice exams. Please see the attached flier for more details.
Trip to Rome. Fr. Leo, pastor of St. Benedict Parish, and Bob McMorrow, Parish Director of Religious Studies, will be leading a pilgrimage to Rome in May and you are invited. Fr.
