Dear <strong>Parent</strong>s,<br />
If you are like most of us around here, the phrase “I cannot believe the first quarter is over!” has been spoken<br />
more than once. We here at school are excited about this next season - concerts, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and<br />
class parties. However, as I think of that, I cannot help but think of the number of volunteers who help these<br />
things happen. I want each of you to know you are appreciated.<br />
If you would like to become a volunteer, please contact the Advancement Office at 330-877-2049, ext. 304. We<br />
are always looking for more volunteers to help us at Lake Center Christian School.<br />

Preschool - 6th Grade Information<br />
By Mrs. Stock<br />
Dear Families,<br />
“Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God” (Hebrews 13:16).<br />
This week we had our first collection for our sponsored children. It was so good to see students give to those in<br />
need. I am thankful for the impact that their giving will have and the ripple effect it will create in a country far<br />
from ours. What an honor and a privilege it is to serve the Lord!<br />
Just a few reminders;<br />
• There is no school Thursday or Friday of this week.<br />
• Please turn your Operation Christmas boxes in to Mrs. Stock (if you are bringing them to school).<br />
• This is the last week to wear shorts to school until Spring.<br />
• The fall concert for fifth and sixth grade is Tuesday, October 30 th in the Cafenasium.<br />
Have an amazing week. Thank you for partnering with us!<br />
In our high paced society there seems to be something scheduled every day of the week! This often hinders the<br />
time families have to spend together. Research continues to show that eating dinner as a family is a major contributor<br />
to children’s success and well being.<br />
Studies have found that for young children, dinnertime conversation boosts vocabulary even more than being<br />
read aloud to. The researchers counted the number of rare words – those not found on a list of 3,000 most<br />
common words – that the families used during dinner conversation. Young kids learned 1,000 rare words at the<br />
dinner table, compared to only 143 from parents reading storybooks aloud. Kids who have a large vocabulary<br />
read earlier and more easily.<br />
Older children also reap intellectual benefits from family dinners. For school-age youngsters, regular mealtime is<br />
an even more powerful predictor of high achievement scores than time spent in school, doing homework, playing<br />
sports or doing art.<br />
Other researchers reported a consistent association between family dinner frequency and teen academic performance.<br />
Adolescents who ate family meals five to seven times a week were twice as likely to get A’s in school as<br />
those who ate dinner with their families fewer than two times a week.<br />

listening to music, trying for a hole in one<br />
on a putting green, playing a Kahoot game,<br />
watching a DR presentation and taking an<br />
assessment of Biblical worldview. Thank you<br />
