Annual Contest rewards the Artful Dodger and best dressed
Bag ladies? These staff members often pitch in with cleaning at the academy, so they decided to dress the part for their team's dodgeball costume. From left: Mrs. O'Leary, Mrs. Haase, and Mrs. DeSa.


Since the first year of Lake Pointe, dodgeball has been part of the academy's history. In the early years, an annual dodgeball tournament was begun, and the current team themes and costumes were added later.


Winning Team
- Solly Mayhall
- Cale Rabi
- Zane Litaker

This high school team claimed Chick Fil A gift cards and a spot in the hallowed halls of the annual contest bragging rights.

Best costumes
The best theme award was won by "The Matrix" team, pictured at top, which included Cavanaugh O'Leary, Luke DeSa, and Jack Arnold.






Around the campus
 

 
Guatemala Christmas is in the bag
Secondary parents and students visited the elementary morning gathering last week. They were promoting the gathering of materials for the annual Christmas bag packing event, which is held in conjunction with Clubhouse Guatemala. Each grade level, throughout the academy, is encouraged to donate certain types of items that will generously fill bags for children in Guatemala. Secondary students, parents, and staff will visit Guatemala this spring on a mission trip, and will have a chance to see the areas blessed by each year's packing.    
 
Now entering high school
9th grade English students work on a class assignment in groups earlier this semester.      
 


LPA Core Value #3: Community

  Life of the round table 
Shared lunch tables lead to conversations, and conversations lead to realizations of common interests and memories and, ultimately, relationships.  

Boys' soccer rolls on     
The soccer team is in the heart of its conference schedule, with some excellent play on both ends of the pitch. Recent victories position the team for a run at the state tournament. Fan support for home matches after the break will help. Go Green!

    

Runners finish the hot, grueling first races 
Temperatures soared at recent Clover High and Gaston Christian meets. But as the thermometer stayed high, the clock times came down. Runners are getting better and faster as the season goes along. Many have already qualified for the SCACS state race in Greenville, and there are still a few meets to prepare.      
Go Mariners!
 
 
 
 
 
Up and over
All three volleyball teams continue to play well, with teamwork and spirit. The new middle school girls' team celebrated their first victory.
The varsity team is positioning itself for a chance to make it to the state tournament.  
 
 
GO GREEN!
