“THE WORD<br />
OF THE<br />
LORD<br />
STANDS<br />
FOREVER”<br />
I PETER 1:25<br />
Superintendent News<br />
By Dr. Joseph Beeson<br />
Dear <strong>Parent</strong>s,<br />
I enjoyed participating in our character quality focus chapel today in elementary. I am so pleased when we recognize<br />
what is really important in our students. What we do in 21 st century education should never overshadow<br />
what we also believe is important - Christian character like virtue, integrity, courage, honesty, faithfulness, etc.<br />
- all the things that go into Christian character. If we can graduate students with the skills they need, built upon a<br />
life that pleasesGod, we can consider ourselves successful!<br />

Preschool - 6th Grade Information<br />
By Mrs. Stock<br />
Dear Families,<br />
This week we had the opportunity to celebrate those students who have displayed confidence in the Lord and who<br />
He is, as well as who they are in Him. These chapels bless my heart so much because they highlight what God is<br />
doing in the hearts of students!<br />
We have been privileged to be able to partner with World Vision to sponsor six (6) children from India in grades<br />
2 nd -6 th and in our ISP program. Students can bring in change throughout the school year in an effort to give these<br />
students an education and supply daily essentials. We want students to earn this money and take joy in being<br />
able to serve God and serve others. Remember even a little change can change the world.<br />
Just a few reminder<br />
• Check the lost and found for missing items. Anything unclaimed will be donated at the end of the quarter<br />
• Reminder that October 19 th is a half day. It is also College Wear Day so get decked out in honor of your favorite<br />
team!<br />
• After school will be available that day. Please see Mrs. Stock if you plan to attend<br />
• Tuesday, October 23 rd is picture retake day.<br />

Starting Tuesday, Kings Church Avenue NW will be closed at Route 619, and Kauffman Avenue NW will be<br />

Route 619 will have to follow the signed detour to Market Avenue N to Andrews Street NW in order to access<br />

These are generally from 8-4 on Saturday. Again, if you choose, there is also an all Ohio Tournament. If interested<br />
please contact Principal Dannon Stock.<br />

VARSITY GIRLS SOCCER<br />
After experiencing a heart-wrenching, last-second defeat to Alliance in their last game, the Lady Tigers<br />
showed resiliency and great determination by bouncing back to defeat St. Thomas Aquinas, 2-1, in a great<br />
match under the lights. Elise Gambol and Kaydri Sommers led the offensive attack by scoring a goal<br />
a piece. The team has gone 4-3 since their 0-6 start to the season, catching fire heading into postseason<br />
play.<br />
• Week Results: St. Thomas Aquinas Knights (W, 2-1)<br />
VARSITY BOYS SOCCER<br />
Due to a cancellation early in the week, the Tigers only had one match against the always-competitive<br />
Central Christian Comets. The Tigers came up short against the Comets, losing the contest, 7-1. Joel<br />
Meyer scored the Tigers’ only goal on the day.<br />
• Week Results: Central Christian Comets (L, 1-7)<br />
VARSITY CROSS COUNTRY<br />
The Tigers competed in the annual Tuslaw Invitational at Clay’s Park this past weekend. In what has prov<br />
en to be a difficult course, our Tiger-runners should grit by posting some very good times. Eliz Slabaugh<br />
finished 7th overall against a strong field.<br />
Tuslaw Invitational Results: https://www.baumspage.com/cc/tuslaw/20<strong>18</strong>/<br />
VARSITY VOLLEYBALL<br />
The Lady Tigers had a busy week as they played four matches overall. Unfortunately, the team lost to<br />
Manchester and PTC-leading Crestwood in straight sets. A victory over Valley Christian and an exciting<br />
match against Central Christian proved to be the highlights of the week. The Central matchup was part of<br />
the Volley for Kenna Event held and organized by the volleyball program. The game was played in honor<br />
of the late Makenna Karmie who passed away unexpectedly last summer.<br />
• Week Results: Rittman Indians (L, 0-3), Valley Christian Eagles (W, 3-0), Crestwood Red Devils<br />
(L, 0-3), Central Christian Comets (L, 1-3)<br />
