This new publication, the C.S. Lewis Chronicle, will debut as a quarterly publication in September.

Happy August everyone.
We hope you are having a lot of fun and getting lots of rest this summer. We continue to fine-tune the facility for your arrival in August/September.
You may have heard our high school lead teacher, Carrie Adams, has been called by the Lord to teach Bible full time at Westside Christian High School. This has been a subject near and dear to her heart and when the opportunity presented itself Carrie accepted. We will dearly miss her on campus, but knowing God called her we are assured she will be successful in her new endeavor.
The High School team, along with Mr. Swanson, is assessing the the strengths of each remaining teacher to determine what calling the Lord has on them moving forward. Rest assured our school will be strengthened and prepared for the first day of classes.

VARSITY ATHLETICS AWARD NEEDS
|
|
We would like to start celebrating our high school student-athletes and their accomplishments more! To that end, there are 3 projects we are trying to complete. We are looking for donors to help with the costs of these projects either in part or in total.
1. Perpetual Plaques: each year, each varsity team selects a recipient of the Watchmen Award, Most Improved and Most Valuable. These honorees are given a medal. In the case of our Fall Sports, we have perpetual plaques that honor these winners. For the rest of our sports, we would like to order these perpetual plaques. We need plaques for Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball, Boys Track & Field, Girls Track & Field and Golf. To take care of all three awards for a single sport, the cost would be $250.
2. Gym Award Banners: These are team award banners for championships, state tournament qualification, sportsmanship and scholar-athlete recognition. They are "add a year" style so we can add to them as we accomplish even more! This will include our new logo. We currently have 7 banners we want to order at $250 each.
3. Track & Field Records board: We would like to display our varsity Track & Field school records in our gym. This will include new logo. $1,200 total for boys and girls.
