BreakDown STL - Breakdown St. Louis will be conducting an assembly for our 6th-12th grade students on Tuesday, Nov 19.  This assembly is both part of our concerted efforts to address the mental health needs of students, and one that contains very powerful messages about big topics.  The messaging is Gospel centered and uses a number of media to impact students.  The assembly will begin at 9:45 a.m. and is about 100 minutes long.  We welcome parents/families to come in that day and sit in on the assembly.  

We encourage you to explore the Breakdown St. Louis website and read about the organization and the presentation.  Please fill out and return the Opt Out Form if you do not want your student to participate on the 19th.  If we do not receive an opt out form, your 6-12 grade student(s) will attend.  

Side by Side Raffle - The LCA Board is conducting a fundraising effort to enclose the front walkway between our two buildings, but we need your help to make this a reality.  Please share that with as many others as you can; additionally, students will be coming home with cards to hand out to family, friends, and neighbors.  Together, let’s make this fundraiser a powerful success!  Click here for more info and a QR code to enter:  Side by Side Raffle

PTO Fundraiser - Our Thompson Farm Soups & More fundraiser is going on now through Nov. 30th.  A flier and order forms were sent home with your students.  The top 3 sellers will receive Amazon gift cards.  Please refer to this flier for more info.  Thompson Farm Fundraiser

Canned Food Drive -  We are partnering again with the WC Fire Department to collect canned goods for our local food pantry.  The winning class will have a pizza party compliments of the fire department and will compete against them in our annual dodgeball game.  So bring those canned goods to your class so we can be a blessing to those in need.  

Toy Drive – We are also again joining our local community sponsors in collecting toys to bless those children in our community who are less fortunate at Christmas.  Please bring your unwrapped toys and games to the barrel across from the school office.  

Fundraiser – We would like to bless our new LCA kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Anna Wilcoxson and her family.  The Wilcoxson family has been faced with some overwhelming medical needs for their daughter, Ginger.  Because of your generosity we are over halfway to our goal of $5,500 for a life-changing treatment.  Please click here if you are able to help.  Wilcoxson Family Fundraiser
