400 OCC Shoeboxes is a brand new number for LCS!!! I am beyond proud of our school family, and I am so very grateful to the students, parents, and grandparents who made it happen! My favorite thing about LCS is when we come together as a school family to help those in need in the Name of Jesus. That's why we are His children.

 Here are some of the 6th graders loading the truck with shoeboxes:

This week has been fun. During Spirit Week we dressed up on theme days, and Tuesday was Superhero day. My classes all wrote about what a superhero really is, and they praised parents, grandparents, our military, and our first responders as the true heroes of our world. The best part? I asked them to write, and they hopped right to it. I think it ties into gratefulness; sometimes we need to look around us and show gratitude to the people who take care of us. Here are a few of  my 7th graders diligently writing their essays.

Here's some beautiful prophecy to remember this weekend: 

Micah 5:2: But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,  though you are small among the clans of Judah,out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel,whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”

Thank you for sharing your middle schoolers with me. I love them, and I pray for them and for you.

Blessings, KD
