Principal’s Report 11/17/2014

Dear Lumen Family: 

What makes you grateful?  We should always be thankful, but this is a wonderful time of the year to express that gratitude to others, particularly since Thanksgiving is right around the corner.  In the spirit of gratitude, Lumen is very thankful to all of the students, parents, alumni, friends, priests, parish and public supporters who make Lumen such a wonderful environment for learning and spiritual development – Lumen couldn’t do it without you, so THANK YOU!  

Catholic Education Exchange:  Lumen has partnered with the Catholic Student Exchange program in order to provide a unique global opportunity for our students, and students from Guatemala.  We are looking for a few host families who would be willing to ‘host’ a student in the same grade as their son and/or daughter in the fall of 2015 for about eight weeks. If you are interested, please e-mail jharmon@lumenchristiak.org .
