Fall Time Fun   

With beautiful fall-like weather, the Lake Pointe 2017 Fall Festival was a success! The elementary family portion of the day featured face painting, sack races, a bounce house, hay rides, and many other festival games. Later in the evening, secondary students enjoyed an evening of pumpkin carving, pie eating, and dancing. From the funds raised in the tickets sales, about 90% of the festival's profit will be going to this year's student life missions focus--to help build wells in areas without access to clean water!

Growing bacteria
6th grade science hand crafted their own petri dishes in which they grew e-coli last week. Students were studying how these microscopic organisms multiply by observing their experiment over the course of several days. In the picture to the right, students sterilize their needles before ejecting the e-coli into their petri dishes.

Cross Country State
The Lake Pointe Mariners ran in the SCACS state finals last Saturday on the SIM campus in Fort Mill. Running against seven other schools, a majority of the LPA's participants set new personal records with their finishing times. The Mariners finished 6th overall, with all three seniors placing in the top ten of their groups. Congratulation on a great season, cross country runners!
