News and Reminders
Turkey Trot
City Union Mission
Middle school students recently had the opportunity to hear from Doug Balsman, Development Director at City Union Mission. Students also helped load more than 3,000 items collected by our church and school throughout October. These donations will be used to create hygiene kits for individuals and families in need.
During his visit, Doug shared how City Union Mission has served as a safety net for those facing hardship in the Kansas City area for more than 100 years. Students learned about the organization's history, its impact in the community, and the many ways it shares the love of our Lord Jesus Christ with those it serves.
To help continue the conversation, every student received a City Union Mission book that highlights the mission's history, community outreach, and Christ-centered ministry.
7th Grade Late-Over
Who won the night: the boys or the girls? It depends on who you ask! One of the highlights of this year's 7th Grade Principal Late-Over was a spirited volleyball matchup where the girls proudly claimed victory over the boys before everyone settled in for food, games, and some friendly competition on the big screen.
Thank you to the families whose support of last year's Gala made this event possible. As we look ahead to the CLS Gala on March 6, we are grateful for the many ways our community invests in creating meaningful experiences for students while supporting the mission of our school.
