New Year, New Semester

Holding to tradition, Lake Pointe kicked-off the new semester with times for worship and prayer. Mr. Miller encouraged students to strive to live as examples to other believers by obediently following Christ. Parents and teachers laid hands on the students and prayed that they may be filled with the power to Christ to display His will in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity.

To read an outline of Mr. Miller's semester opening remarks, visit the Connection Notes section of the Lake Pointe website.

Secondary classes met Friday afternoon to begin the annual research paper season. Students will spend the next several weeks researching and writing papers on historical topics.




Classroom of Teachers
On Monday and Tuesday, Lake Pointe teachers and staff worked to prepare for the new semester with workshops and conversations about accreditation, class room management, and the research paper process. Celebrating the fall semester, faculty enjoyed lunch and fellowship at a local restaurant. 





Sweet Atoms
4th grade science students used skittles to build models of atoms using the various colors to represents the neutrons, protons, and electrons.









I'm Gonna Like Me
From diamond miner to ballerina, kindergarten students dreamed of what they would like to be when they grew up. Reflecting on what they liked about themselves now, they practice using a mirror to create a self portrait.


During a break in the action, varsity players Catherine Judd and Chloe Franklin huddle while JV team does the same. Road trips help gel friendships. 

The Lake Pointe Mariners' basketball teams came back from break with momentum. Both the girls varsity and boys varsity teams won big conference games in Spartanburg earlier this week against Westgate Christian school. For the girls, this win guaranteed a home game during the play offs next month.

The Mariners faced two more teams later in the week with great success. Come out to cheer on the Mariners next Friday as they play  Tri-City Christian Academy.
