Principal’s Update:
While our debate participants did not earn any awards at last weekend’s State Tournament, we are proud of all of them. They each walked away with solid performances and additional experience under their belts! We are so blessed to have this elective opportunity at Lumen. A special thank you to Mrs. Kelli Reed for leading our DDF students this year and we hope more students will consider it as an option next year!
Did you know the easiest way to potentially knock $1000 off your tuition bill is to encourage one family to check out Lumen Christi for the fall semester. If that family enrolls into one of our grade levels for the next school year, your family gets a $1000 credit on your tuition bill! Yes, that’s right! The greatest marketing effort we have is satisfied parents and happy students encouraging others to join our family. I anticipate there being a waiting list for some grades for next year, so if you haven’t re-registered your son or daughter, please do so. And prayerfully consider asking another new family to join our community. Not only will you help grow our school, but you may receive a tuition credit to boot!
Finally, we deeply appreciate all the families who volunteer to work the Archangel Attic on Fridays and Saturdays. As mentioned in the State of the School in January, this little building on the corner of 82nd and Jewel Lake earns the school over $100,000 each year, greatly reducing the amount of our tuition. Please sign up and volunteer to take a shift, or two, or three…
Check your REMIND messages! We need volunteers for tomorrow (Friday) afternoon!
To ease any concern you have about working at the Attic, we have made a short “training” video for our families to walk you through your duties. You can find it on Lumen Tube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI4_Crdz_P0
I’ve never had an acting lesson so I certainly know I’m not an Oscar contender. Thank goodness my co-stars Tracy, Emily, and Tate carry the film for me…ENJOY!

Archangel Sports:
The Junior High teams continue running plays and getting strong. Still no games on the horizon, the challenge is finding other middle school teams in our division who are able to play. It’s great to see all of the kids coming together tho in true Archangel teamwork fashion.
