LUMENary Drive Update:
We’re holding steady at $56k+ (nice job folks!) and are moving into the next phase of the drive. Letters to alumni are being mailed tomorrow, and during Catholic Schools week which starts on Monday, we’re asking students to do one of two things:
-
Write a letter to a family member or friend telling them their favorite things about Lumen and asking if they might consider supporting the school; or
-
Writing a thank you letter to a donor who has already contributed to the LUMENary Drive.
Students who successfully finish this task and write five (mailable!) letters will earn five dress down days. As a reminder – dress down days mean no uniform, not even Lumen spirit wear! Jeans, joggers, leggings, it’s all a go on a dress down day.
(Note: Thank you letters are an important part of the campaign, but securing contributions is still important too! Think about your Christmas card list, family friends, someone who you know would appreciate hearing from your student and supporting the school. Send those addresses to school with your student and we’ll get them going in the right direction.) As always, thank you for your support and sacrifice and encouraging your students to help!
Archangel Sports:
Our High School Basketball teams have their first games down in Soldotna against Cook Inlet Academy this Saturday. CIA has traditionally been a strong competitor for our Archangels, but we know our teams have what it takes. Stay tuned here for game updates next Thursday.
The Junior High teams have had their first full week of practice and it’s great to see both the boys and girls coming together learning new plays and developing skills.
The rifle team made it through their safety instruction day last Thursday and started shooting Tuesday of this week. They have their first on-line match against a team hosted by the American Legion Post #290 in Stafford Virginia on Thursday, Feb 4th, so watch here for competition updates!
GO ARCHANGELS!!
Front Office News:
SPIRIT WEEK!

2020-21 Alaska World Affairs Council’s World Quest
Calling all high school students! The Alaska World Affairs Council is holding a virtual addition of their Academic WorldQuest Student Competition! This is a free event which tests students’ knowledge of current events, international relations, world history and global cultures. First prize is $400, 2nd prize is $100. Have your student talk to their Advisor if they’re interested in getting a Lumen team together. The event is Wednesday, February 3rd from 5-6:30p. Click here for more info: https://www.alaskaworldaffairs.org/events/worldquest/
St. Elizabeth’s Community Dinner
Like everything else, the in-person Community Dinner at our sister school, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton has been put on hold this year because of Covid. That said, SEAS is partnering with two long time community partners, Tastee-Freeze and Bradley House in an event that’s almost as good! See info below for more details. A portion of all proceeds goes directly back to SEAS.
Thanks everyone for another great week, our students are AWESOME!!

Principal’s Update:
After an official “snow day” which extended our MLK holiday weekend, school was back in person this week. We are blessed to have lower COVID numbers across the Municipality and we pray that this trend continues in our community.
Another great benefit of our small school is the ability to transition our classroom time to those “teachable moments” which we hope will last well past the planned lesson. Yesterday, many of our classes were able to tune into the inauguration of our 46th President and the historic swearing in ceremony of our first female Vice President. We also took time to pray for strength, courage, and conviction for all of our leaders as we peacefully transitioned responsibility in our federal government–a hallmark of our great Constitution.
As we look forward, I would like to extend a personal invite to our 5th Annual State of the School address on Tuesday, February 2nd at 7pm. Normally held in person in the gym or Upper Room, this year’s event will be done virtually (link to be sent to families next week).
What is the State of the School? Just as the President of the United States has the annual State of the Union and the Governor of Alaska has the State of the State, we have a State of the School every January. I, and other guest speakers, will discuss what we have done as a school over the past year as well as where we are going in the future and what we are doing to get there. Some areas I and others plan to discuss include:
Review of our Foundational Documents
School Board update
Development and Fundraising update
Theology Curriculum Review update
Future initiatives and programs update
I deeply appreciate the attendance we have had at our previous Principal Parent Forums. Consider the State of the School as a Principal Parent Forum PLUS, so you won’t want to miss it!
I look forward to seeing everyone online on Feb 2nd! Have a blessed weekend!

Watching the Presidential Inauguration here at school on Wednesday, January 20th prompted some great conversation. Following is a link to an article about discussing politics with your children. It focuses on the election season but has great suggestions that apply to politics in general. While it mentions a couple of websites you might or might not find useful, I found the ideas to be really helpful. https://www.commonsensemedia.org/blog/easy-ways-to-steer-kids-through-the-political-season

Friday marks the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion in all 50 states. 60 million infants have lost their lives by abortion since 1973.

Thank you so much to everyone who continues to support the drive!

Principal’s Update:
With our school year off to a strong start, I ask our families to commit to assisting us in our areas of greatest need over the next couple of weeks. This includes registering for and purchasing your meal for our Feb. 6th Mardi Gras Gala AND encouraging and asking other families and friends to do the same. Take a look at the video our very own Danielle Rybicki put together on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lumenchristiak/videos/406527463889173
and read through the information below. One of the best things about a virtual gala is that unlike last year when we were sold out, we do not have to limit attendance this year – friends of Lumen Christi can join us from all over the world! This event is only successful thanks to hard work and superlative efforts of our entire community!
Another area of need is for parent help at the Archangel Attic on Fridays and Saturdays. Thank you to those who sign up to fill slots and commit to this important fundraising activity each week. Whenever Anne puts out a REMIND call seeking last minute volunteers to cover shifts, please prayerfully consider committing your time and your talent. It may seem intimidating at first, but once you get the hang of it, it is actually a wonderful and fun evening or day shift. It’s a great way for parents and students to fulfill Share Hours, and remember, ALL of the proceeds from Attic sales go to support keeping tuition affordable for all families. In other words, we ALL benefit from that little blue building on the corner of Jewel Lake and 82nd–to the tune of over $1 million over the past decade!
Have a blessed and safe weekend!

- Fr. Tom offers Mass for students Monday and Wednesdays and Reconciliation Tuesdays and Thursdays before school beginning at 7:15 a.m in our Archangel Chapel. All students are welcome!
- We strive to teach our children and students to solve differences through peaceful means. Experiencing the unrest of the past many months of protest and violence can be unsettling to our kids and sometimes it is hard to know what to say to them. Following is an article on talking to your kids about the activities that turned volatile in DC. I am suggesting this particular article because it is not politically charged, and gives practical suggestions.
- We are social by our nature; we need fellowship, and our youth, in particular, faces anxiety and depression from the isolation of the pandemic. I have numerous resources to share – please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at eloeffler@lumenchristiak.org if I can be of any help.

LUMENary Drive Update:
Donations are holding steady after a large bump during the holiday season once again – thank you to all who have contributed so far. As a reminder, we’re hoping that all families can donate or help raise $500, tho truly any amount is appreciated. The next phase of the drive is twofold – outreach to our alumni and their parents, followed by a letter writing campaign by our students to friends and family. Think about those to whom your son or daughter might write, to share their thoughts about Lumen Christi with. Remember, we’re not asking your son or daughter to find people to underwrite their tuition, rather this is an “ask” for others to consider supporting Catholic schools, especially Lumen Christi!

Don’t forget that the Junior High basketball teams will begin practicing next Wednesday, January 20th. Jr. Highers can either be picked up at 12:30 and dash out for a quick lunch, or may bring a sack lunch (no microwaves) and eat socially distanced in the gym bleachers, before practice. Please email Coach athletics@lumenchristiak.org if your student is interested in playing this year.
The Rifle Team roster is filled. Practice begins next Tuesday, January 19th. Mr. Ross has entered our school in a national “new shooter” championship league which will allow us to compete against dozens of teams from across the nation VIRTUALLY! We will shoot our targets on our home range (the gym) and upload our scores to the web–our weekly competitors will do the same on their end. Trophies and prizes are awarded for the highest scoring teams and individuals. Like those on the Jr. High Basketball Teams, Rifle Team members can either dash out for a quick lunch or stay and eat in the gym before practice at 1p.
Thanks everyone. Have a happy Friday, enjoy the long weekend and we’ll see you Tuesday!

Principal’s Update:
What a joy and a blessing it is to once again take staff and student temperatures every morning! One of the best parts of my day, this means our school is operating in person, with smiles, laughter and learning taking place in our hallway and classrooms. I can tell the students are a bit “groggy” this first week as their biological clocks reset from Christmas break sleep-ins to spring semester early wake-ups. But I always enjoy engaging them first thing in the morning (I’m not sure all of them feel the same way)! With our enrollment at 91 students, we have, once again, the largest student body in our school’s proud 25 year history.
This month, we turn our focus to the start of our high school basketball season, celebrating Catholic Schools with the rest of the nation, and our annual Gala auction. We deeply appreciate those working hard to ensure the auction will be a success!
During this time of turmoil and strife, please continue to keep our nation in your prayers. As Pope Francis suggested simply, “I’m praying more because I feel I should.” I agree wholeheartedly–let’s all commit to praying more this year!
