From the Principal Article from February 2007
In a recent devotion that I read, the author used Proverbs 10:4, “Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth” as the basis to tell me that I am to keep busy and use my time to be productive. This verse led me to think about those of you that volunteer at LCS we value what you do for us. You use your hands, feet, time and finances to help us achieve the best education for the children that attend our school and you are most appreciated! Helping others where there is a need is doing what this verse says. Jesus used His hands to show the Father’s love to the people of His day. His hands were also pierced for us and that made our hands clean and free to serve others. His saving hands and our busy hands a partnership of love!
On February 9, LCS hosted nationally known entertainer and educator Jay Banks. He presented a program to our students and teachers about bullying. He presented separate programs to the lower grades and upper grades and did an in-service for the teachers in the afternoon. This program taught the kids what to do to stamp out bullies and the teachers how to instruct them as to why bullying needs to stop and how to help them stop it.
February 16 is the final day of the second trimester. Report cards will go home on February 23. It is hard to believe we are almost two-thirds of the way through the school year.
The annual Morley candy bar sale is underway. This is one of the Washington D.C. trip fundraisers that some of our fifth through seventh graders participate in. If you can help them out, it would be greatly appreciated!
I encourage you to join the celebrations of national Lutheran Schools’ Week during the week of March 7-11. We have a number of opportunities for you to join your child for events happening at school and we hope to see you. A complete schedule of the week’s events has been sent home and a partial schedule is included in this publication.
“The way of peace is to believe without merits, nay, despite the greatest demerits simply to rely on the mercy of the Lord, just as the psalm bids us do: ‘Cast thy burden upon the Lord’.” Martin Luther
