It is just hiding and waiting underneath all that snow. Enjoy this last bit of winter and snow while it is here because you could wake up tomorrow and it could all be melted away, or more could be dumped on top! Has anyone already turned the furnace off for the summer yet? What a wonderful weekend.

I hope you didn’t forget to turn your clocks ahead this weekend. You are also supposed to check the batteries in your smoke detectors and the best before date on your milk and throw away the leftovers that are hiding in the back of your fridge. Welcome back to going home in the daylight!

HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY to Jessica (Babe) K. on March 12! HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY to Felicity N. on March 11! HAPPY 14th BIRTHDAY to Eden K. on March 15!

Congratulations to March Scripture first day sayers: Keelan A., Noah W., Joecill M., Tyler N., Kristal S., Jordan S., Lane W., Keita W., Shant B., Eden K., Hannah T., Grace S., Jenna T., Olivia T., Jayden H.

Do you remember the olden days when we didn’t have a website? It has now been in operation for seven years. Have you been using it? Did you know we have a website? Are you still receiving your newsletter the old fashioned way? Why are there so many questions? We also have a Facebook page and a twitter account. The website has more general info while Facebook and Twitter tend to have the current, daily info. We are looking for someone with a passion for this kind of stuff that would be willing to keep it current and hip. If that is you then let someone know and we will see how we could work together.

Congratulations to our Lighthouse Lights winners for Jan-Feb. This term’s category was recognizing the character trait of CARING! Congratulations to Jillian B., Bella O., Maddy Lou M., Hudson J., Taylor S., Elijah F., Riley B., and Jordan S.

Hot lunch this week is Taco in a Bag.

Everyone is invited to chapel this week at 12:40 to recognize second term awards for attendance and honor roll.

Wednesday, April 26 LCA’s got talent! Mark down the date to join us for our annual talent day chapel.

The bus has been parked in the same spot for quite some time. We were hoping it was spring and it could be left on the pavement but since the ski trip we have had three more winters and we are unable to get the bus started. If there is someone that has a few minutes and some diagnostic skills to figure out what is wrong with it to get it started again so we can keep using it that would be tremendous.

Mrs. Faryna will be retiring at the end of this year as our hot lunch person. We appreciate the three years she has put into making hot lunch something to look forward to each week. We (especially Mr. Morrow and Mr. Krause) are hoping there will be someone to step in as our new hot lunch person for the coming school year. If that is you then please talk to Mrs. Schimke.
