Principal's Message
Dear Christ Lutheran Students and Families,
Grace and peace to you from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
As we partner together throughout this year and begin this new month of February, we continue to remember and celebrate that Jesus is the Savior and Light of the World. He calls, enlightens, equips, and unites us to proclaim this Good News to all and to share His LOVE, joy, hope, and peace.
Parents, I continue to thank the Lord and you for your partnership and prayers as we seek to support, encourage, and provide your children with a quality, Christ-centered education!
I pray that you are having a blessed day with your children while our teachers are participating in a professional development class today about brain research and social-emotional learning. We pray that what we learn and apply will be a blessing to our students as we seek to meet their needs and support them in all of their efforts to learn and grow.
LAST FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, WAS THE LAST DAY OF THE 2ND SCHOOL QUARTER.
K-5 REPORT CARDS WILL BE GOING HOME on MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6.
6th – 8th GRADE REPORT CARDS WILL GO HOME ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8. MIDDLE SCHOOL AWARDS WILL BE ISSUED AT THE CONCLUSION OF ALL-SCHOOL CHAPEL ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8TH . THIS CHAPEL BEGINS AT 8:35.
FEBRUARY 10TH is PTL FAMILY FUN NIGHT! They will be hosting a family movie night. The movie advertised on their original flyer is being changed. You will be updated and informed of the new movie selection soon. 8th graders will be selling refreshments at the movie night as part of their class trip fundraising efforts.
OUR 5TH GRADERS, CHAPERONES, AND MRS. NICHOLSON ATTENDED ASTRO CAMP JANUARY 30TH – FEBRUARY 1ST! We thank the Lord for providing a safe and blessed outdoor education experience for all!
IOWA/COGAT Standardized test results were mailed last week. If you have questions, please feel free to contact your child’s teacher.
The chapel theme for January was KINDNESS. Fruit of the Spirit awards and ZAP awards were issued at the February 1st Divided Chapels (K-5 @ 8:35, 6-8 @ 9:10.)
The Fruit of the Spirit for February is LOVE. The Fruit of the Spirit Awards for LOVE and the ZAP awards for February will NOT be issued at the last chapel of the month because it is a special ASH WEDNESDAY chapel. The February awards will most likely be given at the first chapel in March (3/1). We will confirm the date soon.
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! You can support our 8th grade by sending messages and treats! Flyers have been sent home via your child! There are additional flyers in the foyer of the school office. Online order forms are also available to download! Valogram orders are due by FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10th. The valograms will be distributed to the students in their classrooms on Valentine’s Day, February 14th.
This week, I would like to acknowledge and commend the following students for all the ways they shine for Jesus and bless us at CLCS:
· RHETT (K): Thank you for your kind greetings and smile each morning and for the paper ice cream cone you made for me and gave me last Thursday. It was so sweet and such a blessing to receive!
· NOLAN (7): Thank you for sharing joy and your attitude of gratitude with Coach Jonathan and your basketball teammates prior to the game! You blessed and inspired them all!

“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:3-6
“We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers. We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3
May the Lord bless and keep you this day, throughout February, and always! May He fill you with his gifts of love, joy, hope, and peace now and always!
In Christ’s love and service,
Charlene Soon
Principal
