One of the core values of LCS is the belief that we are partnering with parents in the Christian education of their children. We believe that mutual respect, communication and involvement by all partners is essential for success of our mission.LCS is a school. We believe that being a Christian school and being a top-flight academic institution should not be mutually exclusive. On the contrary, we take the mandate of Colossians 3:23 that calls us to strive to be the best. We provide a variety of rigorous, engaging, academic and co-curricular activities that enable students to identify and express the full range of their unique gifts and abilities. Thanks for praying for our kids as they competed this weekend.
Mock Trial won their Circuit competition on Friday and will represent Circuit 10 at the Florida High School Mock Trial Championship in April. They will be preparing to defend their title as the current state champions.
Team RISE Robotics competed Saturday. They won six out of seven matches, second place Connect award, second-place Motivate award, and third place INSPIRE Award, which is the highest award in FIRST.
They ranked fifth overall out of 49 teams. It’s a breathtaking result, far beyond our expectations.
In any normal year, they would be headed to the World Championship, but because of Covid, the number of teams representing the state of Florida has been cut in half.
We trust that every detail is in the hands of the One who knows us and loves us best, so we are content and grateful.
We praise God for the opportunities these kids have had and the doors that have been opened for them.
Please congratulate the Mock Trial and Robotics teams and Head Coaches Chasity Branham (Mock Trial) and Darise McLoughlin (Robotics) when you see them. They have worked extremely hard and they make us so proud!
Gratefully,
Jennifer
