INFORMATION TO KNOW:

Noon Dismissal -  Thurs Feb. 13th is a noon dismissal for all students.  There will be no hot lunch that day.  Please call the office to let us know if your child will be in after care.  They must be registered by the Tuesday before.  

Heartgrams - Our Seniors will be selling heartgrams in the morning before school for a couple more days.  Orders will be delivered to the child’s classroom on Wednesday, 2/12.  Click here for the order form:  Heartgrams

Alumni Basketball Games - Please join us on Saturday, February 22nd, for our 20th Anniversary Alumni Games!  Games will start at 5:30 PM.  After the games, we hope you can stay for a Pizza Party in the new cafeteria.  Alumni who RSVP to Gina Nelsen by Friday the 14th will receive a special 20th Anniversary long-sleeve shirt.  Come relive the glory days, reconnect with friends, and celebrate 20 years of God’s faithfulness at LCA! 

Spring Track & Field - We are in need of one additional assistant track coach for the upcoming track season.  You do not need to have track coaching experience to fulfill this service, and even if you can help a couple of days per week that would be amazing.  This position would mostly oversee the distance runners, encouraging them and tracking their progress.  Mr. Smith will coordinate and plan all workouts if desired.  Be on the lookout for a separate email from the Athletic Dept. with specific information for athletes, such as practice times, fees, etc. 

Service Opportunity - During January’s snow storm, the guttering on the west side of the main building ripped apart from the building and collapsed (see attached photos).  We are in dire need of assistance in replacing/repairing this area.  If you have the skills, expertise, or contacts to make this happen, please contact Dr. Jim Kerr (jkerr@lcaeagles.com) or Mr. Smith immediately to discuss how you can help.  This is a great opportunity to serve the school!

Dinner Auction -  We are less than 60 days away from our Raising Warriors Dinner Auction and the shelves are bare.  The auction is one of our main fundraisers and we need your help to make it a success.  The auction committee is challenging all students, parents, alumni and friends of LCA to help us get sponsorships and donations for the dinner auction on April 4th.  They will be awarding prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.  

Side by Side Raffle - The proceeds from this raffle will go to help create a safe and secure covered walkway between the 2 buildings.  Please help us sell the remaining raffle tickets so we can draw the winner!    

Open Positions - LCA is seeking a School Counselor for the 2025-26 school year.  If you have a passion for guiding students academically, emotionally, and spiritually in a Christ-centered environment, we would love to hear from you.  For more details check out the attached job description.  Contact Mr. Smith at dsmith@lcaeagles.com if you have any questions.  To apply, please complete the Teacher Application found on our website.  

We also have an opening for a full-time nurse, and we could also use substitute nurses.  To apply, please fill out the Support Staff Application found on our website and email it to Mr. Smith at dsmith@lcaeagles.com.
