We want to remind everyone that seniors are permitted to bring a camera for their trip to Costa Rica. These cameras, however, cannot be part of an IPod, IPad or cell phone. These other electronics are not permitted. If a senior does not have access to a camera, then they need to see Mr. Lewis as soon as possible. Please make every effort to support this policy as it cultivates an experience free from technology distractions, encourages group interaction and focuses energy and time on the people of Costa Rica.

Thanks!

Hello,

The senior class will be having a dessert auction on Saturday the 4^th at approximately 2pm at the LCS 5k/Carnival.  Erika Lauson will be the person in charge of the seniors because I am not able to make the event due to a prior engagement.  It would be very helpful if several other parents would be on hand to assist with whatever needs done and I would appreciate if you would email her directly.  Her email address is:  erlauson@lititzchristian.net.  Thank you for your support in all the fundraisers and God Bless.

Mr. Markey

Here are the numbers from our Finance office:

• A total of $31,860.00 has been sent to Joshua
  Expeditions. Four separate checks, the first back in December.

• Support Letters brought in $15,225.52 (as of last Wednesday)

  Pellman’s sale brought in $2,107.48

  Sr. Play brought in $3,029.50

  Parent Loan – $7,875

• The remaining balance of approximately $3600 was covered by class funds earned from grades 9-11, chair money, soda sales and the school.
• Funds raised from Chicken BBQ and snacks will not be available until Finance Office pays the bill to Kauffman’s.

Two Parent/Senior meetings are on the horizon:

• Monday, April 22 (6:00 – 7:30 p.m.) in Mr. Markey’s classroom
• Monday, May 13 (6:00 – 7:30 p.m.) in Mr. Markey’s classroom

Please place these on your calendar!  One parent from each family needs to be in attendance, as well as, each senior.  Thanks!

Wow!  God has truly blessed in many ways and I feel it is time to share the blessings.

We had a wonderful couple of fundraisers which brought in about $3700.

PTF and school families willingly gave at the International Potluck social $500.

We have received to date $13,981 from support letters, and monies are still coming in!

Now do you believe?!

Continue to pray.  But not just for support.  Pray that God will open hearts and lives as we progress through these next couple of months.  And when I say we, I am including students, chaperones and all us parents!

God Bless

Just wanted to give each of you a quick update as to the funds received through the support letters.  As of this afternoon, the Lord has provided over $5,300!  Thank you, Lord!

We are into full swing with play practice and preparations. To date, the Gehmans and Dearborns are working with set construction, Mrs.Albers and Mrs.Kohr will be helping with makeup, Mrs.Petolicchio and Mrs.Jones will help with collecting money and Mr.Gehman is contacting radio and newspapers for advertising, but we still need help with serving food at intermission and in some other areas. Please contact me by email or phone if you would be willing to serve in some area (even if there are others already involved) because more hands make less work, and the show must go on!

Just a reminder for parents AND students: Be in touch with Rodney St.John to help with the Fire and Ice festival in Lititz on Feb. 15 and 16. I know this will be a great time of fun and fellowship. Ask your son or daughter if they would be willing as well because I know they could have fun and it would be nice if they ran the stand together which would give some of the parents time to check out the event. Rodney has gotten some great deals working with Darrenkamps so lets (bad English- that’s why I’m the Science teacher) make good use of this opportunity. Thanks, spread the word and hope to see you there.

Our next Parent Meeting is this Wednesday, January 9 from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. in Mr. Markey’s classroom.  Have a student and parent in attendance!  Please email Mr. Markey if you cannot attend.

Don’t forget to apply for your passports before the holidays!  Also, check travel.state.gov for more information.
