From the Principal:

Congratulations to our Junior High Volleyball team who won second place in the final Alaska Christian Schools tournament over the weekend!  After losing the first game on Friday, they came roaring back to win every game on Saturday except for the final game.  Awesome job, Junior High Archangels!

At the same time the JH volleyball team was winning the silver medal, it was so inspiring to see over 30 Lumen students and over a dozen parents walk alongside or ride our Fur Rondy Parade float last Saturday.  Although we ran out of York Peppermint patties (navy blue and silver = school colors) and Open House invitations in the first ¼ mile, we showcased the spirit of our school to thousands of Anchorage families.  I have no idea if our participation in the Parade will lead to more student enrollment, but it was clear to me that everyone had a fun and enjoyable time together in solidarity as a Lumen family.  If nothing else, our cheers, waves, and smiles showed our city that Lumen Christi is a proud, vibrant, and exciting faith community.  I owe the Class of 2018 seniors and Class of 2021 freshman a pizza party since they had the highest percentage of participation among the classes, and the students who helped plan and organize the float earned an entire week of casual dress days after Spring Break (except Thursday since it is Mass day).  Thank you to everyone who had a hand in this successful event for our school, which is now a new annual tradition!

Our entire school enjoyed a wonderful presentation yesterday from Mr. Chris Padgett.  Humorous and engaging, Chris kept the students at the edge of their seats.  He wrapped up his powerful talk by encouraging all of us to strengthen our relationships not only with each other, but most importantly, with Christ.  Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6)!  A special shout out to the Holy Spirit, and Kellie Thomson, Mom of Liam (Class of 2022), for organizing this opportunity for our students!

We wish our boys and girls basketball teams much success and victory for the rest of this week at Regions here at Lumen.  We have already had two wins on Wednesday night, and we are looking for more.  We hope you come out and support our Archangel basketball program, either in selling concessions or cheering on from the crowd!  Go Lumen!

Announcements:  

Tomorrow!!  Lenten Soup Lunch:  Teachers starting their annual Lenten Soup Lunch tomorrow.  A meatless soup and a roll for $2.00.  Extra rolls are 50 cents each.  All proceeds will be donated to the H20 Water Project.

Go Archangels!! Basketball Regions:  Wednesday night both our Lumen girls and boys played very well and won their games!!  Thursday, March 1st, the boys play at 8pm vs. Nikolaevsk.  Since our girls won last night, they move straight to the Championship game on Friday at 6:30pm to compete for 1st place!!!  How exciting!!  Come out and cheer on our teams.  Both teams have a very good chance on making it to State and if the girls make it to State, it would be the first time a Lumen girls team has made it.
