Principal’s Report 3/7/2014
Dear Lumen Christi,
Spring Break is here! We wish everyone a wonderful and relaxing Spring Break. The 3rd quarter progress reports were sent out earlier today. If you do not receive one by the time classes resume, please contact the front office. The school will be closed until 7:15 AM Monday, March 17th. We look forward to seeing students bright and early Monday morning, March 17th.
Please remember, during Lenten Season the school will implement full day (Wednesday schedules) every Friday so students can attend Mass. This means that until after Easter, school will not get out on Friday until 2:30 PM.
Lumen is looking forward to an exciting 2014 – 2015 school year. The pre-enrollment period for next year will run from March 18th students who plan to return for the following academic year. As you know, each grade level is capped at 20 students. Once we have current students enrolled for the 2014 – 2015 academic year, we will open up enrollments to the larger Anchorage community. Once a grade level reaches 20 students, the school will start a waiting list. Therefore, if you want to ensure a place for next year, please take advantage of the pre-enrollment opportunity! You can pre-enroll at the front desk starting Tuesday, March 18th Wednesday, March 19th for information.
Mark your calendars! The 4th Annual Cinco De Mayo event will be held on Saturday, May 3rd from 6 PM to 9 PM in the Lumen Christi Gym. This year we will feature Xochilt Quetzal Ticu folk dancing group, as well as Mariachi Agave Azul. Come enjoy delicious Mexican dishes and help us celebrate! Tickets are $20 per person or $300 per table. Please contact our office to place your reservation! Our Cinco de Mayo event is also currently looking for sponsors!
Become a Jalepeño sponsor for $300 and receive a 1/2 page in our event program for your logo or advertisement! Or, take it up a notch and become a Jabanero Sponsor for $500 – you will receive a full page for advertisement and a sponsor table at the event!
Lumen would like to thank the Copper Valley High School Alumni Association who recently donated $1,000 scholarship for a student at Lumen. The scholarship is for a student who seeks a strong Catholic education and may have financial need. Lumen Christi High School was founded by many of the CVHS alumni, so the school appreciates the continued legacy of CVHS. If you would like to apply for the scholarship, stop by the front desk and pick up an application.
Lumen continues to appreciate the hard work of the PVO! There will not be a PVO meeting on March 4th. However, a special PVO meeting on fundraising has been scheduled for March 25th at 6:30 PM. This is an extremely important meeting to discuss fundraising for our school, our progress this year, and brainstorm future plans for accomplishing our budgetary goals. Please plan to attend and bring plenty of great ideas and energy!
All families should be aware that opportunities to earn share hours, particularly fundraising hours, are becoming more limited as the year winds down toward summer. Some opportunities are listed below – please sign up! If you need to earn additional share hours, we may also need help in other areas intermittently. Please contact the Office or Gail Grafton for further until April 15th. If you have any questions, please contact the front desk.
Jr. High Indoor Soccer – We need help in the Snack Shack for Junior High Indoor Soccer rallies. These hours count as fundraising hours.

In Christ,
John Harmon
