Principal's Message
Dear Christ Lutheran Students and Families,
Grace and peace to you from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
I pray that you had a most blessed Valentine’s Day with your beloved families this week, and that you will have a most blessed time with your families this Presidents’ Day weekend! I pray that you were able to open and read the Valentine I emailed you which conveys my thanks to the Lord and to each of you for your Christian love, prayers, support, and partnership!
As we partner together throughout this year and reflect on God’s unfailing love especially throughout this month of February, we continue to remember and celebrate that God loved us so much that He gave us Jesus, His Son, Who 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!
We thank the Lord that so many of you were able to attend the Open House/Share the Vision Night on Monday, February 13th.
Please note that there is NO SCHOOL on Friday, February 17 in observance of Lincoln’s Birthday, and NO SCHOOL on Monday, February 20, in observance of Presidents’ Day.
Thank you to our DCE Tasha Mahshi for planning our first Youth Group LOCK-IN for the evening of FRIDAY, February 17th through the morning of Saturday, February 18th. Thank you to our youth mentors and parent volunteers who will be assisting with this event. Please pray that all of our youth participants and helpers have a most blessed time of Christian fellowship, Bible studies, food, and fun!
Please note that the 2023-2024 school year tuition and fee schedules were emailed to you on Tuesday, February 14th.
You were also emailed a letter from me with important information regarding the re-enrollment process and guidelines. A summary of that information is outlined below:

· Priority registration is February 20 – 24. Your child’s spot in class cannot be guaranteed once open registration begins.
· Open registration begins for students not currently enrolled begins on March 1st.
· If you do not register during priority registration, the registration fee goes up $100 after March 20th.
Our PTL JOG-A-THON fundraiser assembly is FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, at 2:30 PM. Please note that the information packets will go home on 2/24, and the JOG-A-THON is on FRIDAY, MARCH 10th. We pray that you will support your children and CLS through your participation! We have sponsors, prizes, and lots of fun plans for this special day! Proceeds from this fundraiser will go toward resurfacing the school playground. Thank you, PTL, for coordinating this event!
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 be given at the first chapel in March (3/1). This is an all-school chapel that will begin at 8:35.
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:
· ROSYN (1): Thank you for all that you shared in our Bible lesson this week. We rejoice and praise God that you desire to be baptized! I pray that you had a most blessed birthday this week!
· AUBRIE (2): Your love for the Lord, for learning, and for others is inspiring. Thank you for being a faithful compassionate student, and a faithful friend to others! You shine for Jesus every day!
· STIRLING (6): Thank you for your leadership in student council, your faithfulness as a student and athlete,
and for volunteering to help with the technology support we need for our weekly chapels!
· GIANELLE (8): Thank you for your leadership in student council, your faithful scholarship and excellence as a student, and for your assistance with chapel technology support!
· CHASE S. (3): Thank you for consistently demonstrating compassion, kindness, and a sincere love for the Lord, for learning, and for others! Thank you for being a great big brother to EASTON (1). You are truly a gift from God!
“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 you 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
