The K n i g h t s Color Run
Friday, September 27
(1:30 - 2:30)

Help raise money for the school!
This is the second largest fundraiser for our school to support keeping tuition costs down for all. Last year we raised over to $11,000. Our goal this year will be $12,000.

Students collect donations from family members, friends, and the community at large for each lap that they run.

On the day of the event, s tudents wear white shirts and athletic "fun run" gear while they run laps around campus. The staff and volunteers spray them with color powder when they run through the check point.

Information about the Knights Color Run went home in homework folders last week. Mrs. Nippert could still use some volunteers and snack supply donations. Don't forget that you get share hours for your time or expense.

Please contact Mrs. Nippert to help with our annual Knight's Color Run!

Additional Staffing Adjustments
Meet our New Middle School Math Teacher
Mrs. Kay Naff received her B.S. in Christian Education from Northwest Christian College (University) in Eugene Oregon in 1974. She then traveled to Ft. Worth Texas with her new husband and enrolled at Texas Christian University while her husband attended Seminary. She graduated with a second B.S. in Teaching Deaf/Hard of Hearing along with her teaching certificate in 1977.  Moving to three different states for her husband's ministry, she taught mostly at the community college level in adult education classes. She also took course work to add a Math endorsement to her certificate. 
Kay has lived in Longview since 1995. She taught part time at LCC instructing in adult education and GED prep classes. She taught one year at Three Rivers Christian School before being hired by Kelso SD to teach Middle School Math at Huntington. She retired in 2017 after 18 years of Middle School Math instruction. Volunteering and travel with her husband of 45 years was the plan. But, God had other ideas. Kay begins teaching Middle School at St. Rose Sept. 24. Mrs. Naff and her husband Ron have one grown son, Matthew. She enjoys reading, singing in church and community choirs, acting in community theatre and volunteering at St. John's Hospital. Kay and her husband are active participants at Longview First Presbyterian church.
