LUMENary Drive: Everyone should have received information in the mail about our annual LUMENary Drive. As you read the information, you will see that your tuition only covers part of what it costs to educate your child. Our various fundraising events in addition to the LUMENary drive, help to fill the gap. In order for the LUMENary drive to be successful, everyone’s participation is important, no matter what size of your donation.
Mat-Su DAV Gun Show: The Gun Show is hosted and put on by the Mat-Su DAV. Lumen Christi parents and students volunteer at the event by running concessions, collecting entrance fees, helping vendors set-up on Friday, November 27th, and help take down and clean up after the event is over. Please click on the following link to the sign-up sheet: http://vols.pt/tukRuw

The representative will talk about different careers, choosing careers, and also have some career selection activities. This meeting is open to all 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders. Parents are also welcome to attend. This meeting will take place during our lunch period so students should bring their lunch with them.
Winter Weather Reminder: Just a reminder that as winter approaches, so does the possibility for school closures. If the Anchorage School District (ASD) cancels school, so does Lumen Christi. Sometimes ASD will close some schools for weather conditions but not all schools, please listen to the radio or check ASD’s website. If Sand Lake and/or Dimond cancel school, then so will Lumen Christi.
School Rush: For those of you who downloaded the School Rush app, we hope you are enjoying the convenience of it. School Rush will be sending out a 2nd round of invites for those who did not sign up the first time. Please let Mrs. Estes know if you have questions.
Student Volunteer Opportunity: The PVO is look for 3-4 computer savvy students to help provide “tech support” for a new program Lumen will be promoting. If interested, please let the office or Gerianne Thorsness know.
