School Report 4/18/14
Hello Everyone,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! It’s been another busy week here at Lumen Christi. We started the week off with an Easter Egg Hunt hosted by Student Government. Some of the Student Government students even dressed up in bunny suits! This week is also Spirit Week and each day the students had the opportunity to dress according to the theme of the day. Be sure to check out our Facebook page to see all of the great pictures from the week. Mr. Harmon is attending the National Catholic Education Association Conference this week and we look forward to him being back on Monday.
Cinco de Mayo: Join us on Saturday, May 3rd for some Cinco de Mayo fun! There will be delicious food and wonderful entertainment! Tickets are $20 each. Just stop by Lumen’s office to purchase your tickets. You may also call the front desk at 245-9231 to pay for tickets by credit card over the phone. Hope to see you there!
Summer Online Classes: If your child is planning on taking an online class this summer for school credit, be sure to get the class approved first by speaking to Mrs. Brewer.
Student Community Service Opportunity: St Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish is looking for responsible students who would be interested in helping out at Vacation Bible School. This year’s theme is Weird Animals: Where Jesus’ Love is One-of-a-Kind. Please Contact Camille Rzeszut at 344-9381 or rzeszut@alaska.net if you are interested or have any questions.
Half Day Friday Schedule Resumes: Since Lent is now over, half day Friday schedules will resume. Here is what the rest of the year looks like on Fridays:
Friday, April 25th: B Schedule with early dismissal at 12:20pm
Friday, May 2nd: 1st Friday with full day of school

Next Year’s Class Schedules: A couple of weeks ago, students were sent home with their class schedules for next year. For those of you who have not signed and returned your schedule yet, please do so as soon as possible. If you need another one, just let me know and I will print one out and send it home to you.
St. Therese’s Summer Camp: St. Therese’s Camp is offering some wonderful summer camps for Grade 3-8. Please visit http://stthereseak.com for more information.
Penny Wars: It’s time for our annual Penny Wars! What is that you ask? Well it’s a fundraiser for the Senior class and their graduation. There are jars for each class located in the office in which money gets placed in. Lots of pennies is the goal, however, you can place other coins or bills in other grade’s jars too because it will count against them. So, to sum it up…pennies are positive, other currency is a negative. For example: If the freshman have 200 pennies in their jar and someone places a $1 bill in the jar, then the freshman would only have the equivalent of 100 pennies. Competition is on! There is a jar for all grades 7-12 and even the teachers/staff have a jar. All are welcome, including parents, to stop in and place spare change in the jars…remember to be strategic as your child’s class will want as many pennies as possible. The winning class earns the pleasure to dress down during the whole week of finals!
Open Enrollment: Open Enrollment has begun for Lumen Christi. Be sure to spread the word to any friends or family that may be interested. Interested parties may contact the front office at 245-9231 for more information or to schedule a tour.
