Your Weekly Cougar News
- Happy Friday!
There is something special about fall at LCS! Between Homecoming, celebrating our first Students of the Month, and watching our students practice ROAR throughout the school, we have so much to be thankful for.
One of my favorite parts of the day is getting outside at recess and watching our students play. Recently, I loved seeing students invite new classmates into their games and make sure everyone felt included. It may seem like a small thing, but those are the moments that warm my heart. We talk a lot about showing kindness and living out our faith, and it is such a joy to see our students doing just that.
As I watched those friendships grow, I was reminded of 1 John 4:11 (ESV): “Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” What a beautiful reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can be an opportunity to share God's love.
My encouragement this week is to look for those little opportunities to show God's love to others. Whether it's inviting someone to join in, offering a kind word, or helping someone who needs a hand, those simple moments matter.
Thank you, families, for the many ways you support our school, encourage our teachers, and help make LCS such a special place. I am grateful that we get to partner together in raising children who love God and love others.
Rooted in Faith, Growing in Grace!

Weekly Chapel Update
Our fourth-grade students hosted a fun and memorable chapel as we welcomed Steve and Janet Raeburn from Adrian First Church of the Nazarene. Through amazing balloon creations, illusions, and a little laughter, our students learned what it means to follow Jesus, our Good Shepherd.
Using John 10:1–18, Steve and Janet reminded students that Jesus loves us, cares for us, and protects us, just as a shepherd cares for his sheep. We were also challenged to think about what it means to be good sheep. Are we listening for Jesus' voice and choosing to follow Him?
A special thank-you to Steve and Janet and our fourth graders for sharing God's Word in such a creative way! Be sure to check out the balloon creations displayed in our elementary classrooms and office!
Ask at Home: How can we recognize Jesus' voice and follow Him in the choices we make each day?
Donuts With Dad
We invite our LCS elementary dads and students (K–5th grade) to a sweet morning of fellowship on Friday, October 23 from 7:30-8:15 am. Come enjoy donuts and a special time with your child(ren) before the school day begins! We hope you can stay and enjoy our Elementary Praise Time from 8:00-8:15 am.
This event is designed for students and their dads, or one special guest if Dad can’t attend. We look forward to starting the day together, celebrating family, friendship, and God’s goodness.
If you have a PreK camper please plan to drop your camper off at their Camp at 7:15 am prior to heading down to the cafeteria.
Fall into Kindergarden

If you know an elderly relative, neighbor, or friend who could use help with outdoor cleanup, yard work, or light tasks around their home, please consider submitting their information. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to share the love and light of Christ through hands-on service.
