Your Weekly Cougar News
- Happy Friday!
Celebrating 50 Years of Faith, Family & Community! What a special week to be a Cougar! As we celebrate Homecoming Week and 50 years of Lenawee Christian School, we are reminded that LCS is much more than a school—it is a community built on the legacy of the family of Orville and Ruth Merillat, Richard and Lynette Merillat, and our very own President Tricia and David Merillat McGuire. The mission of Lenawee Christian School exists in partnership with the family and church to integrate Biblical truth for life with a commitment to glorifying Jesus Christ through academic excellence and spiritual maturity.
For five decades, God has faithfully used countless students, families, staff, alumni, churches, and community members to help shape the story of LCS. This week, we celebrate not only where we have been, but also the exciting future God has ahead.
Here's to 50 years of God's faithfulness and to the many generations still to come!
GO COUGARS!
Dr. Kristy Taylor
LCS Head of School
Weekly Chapel Update
In chapel, we talked about what it looks like to ROAR in the classroom and beyond. Connecting to our theme, Rooted in Faith, Growing in Grace, and Colossians 2:6-7, we reminded students that just like plants need strong roots to grow, we need to stay rooted in Jesus. Growing also means we won't always get it right - we can tell the truth, ask forgiveness, learn from our mistakes, and try again.
Through the story of the Good Samaritan, students learned three simple ways to show the love of Jesus: notice, stop, and help. We challenged them to look for people who may need a friend, encouragement, or a helping hand.
We also practiced our ROAR expectations:
R – Respectful: Include someone.
O – Obedient: Follow directions.
A – Accountable: Tell the truth.
R – Responsible: Do your part.
We ended chapel by celebrating our first Students of the Month of the school year! We are excited to continue recognizing students who demonstrate what it means to ROAR at LCS.
Talk About It at Home: Ask your child what each letter in ROAR stands for, what they learned from the Good Samaritan, and how they put their ROAR mission into action this week.
Let's keep encouraging our students to ROAR in the classroom and beyond!
Chapel Update
In secondary chapel, our senior Homecoming candidates took time to share their testimonies, reflect on their years at Lenawee Christian School, and thank the people who have made a meaningful impact on their lives. It was a special opportunity for our students to be reminded to slow down and appreciate the people, experiences, and opportunities God has placed around them.
We are thankful for the example our seniors continue to set as they point us back to Jesus and the importance of being grateful for the community He has given us.
