Superintendent News<br />
By Dr. Joseph Beeson<br />
Dear <strong>Parent</strong>s:<br />
“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it”<br />
(John 1:4, 5)<br />
For many of us the news from New York was shocking. Facebook “lit up” with comments, my Twitter feed was full of<br />
comments, and many of the Christian blogs I read have spoken about it. From what I can tell (and I have not fully read<br />
the law), abortion is now allowed up until the live birth of a child. How sad! Scripture let’s us know that God is the author<br />
of life. God has knit us together in the womb, John the Baptist is clearly spoken of as alive and “leaping” in his Elizabeth’s<br />
womb, and Isaiah speaks of God calling him from his mother’s womb. We believe that “the people of God are called to<br />
view all human life as sacred...” (Lake Center Statement of Faith).<br />
Rest assured, your children are receiving the truth here at school. As a result, our light will shine brighter as the world gets<br />
darker.<br />

Preschool - 6 th Grade Information<br />
By Mrs. Stock<br />
Dear Families,<br />
Boy it has been cold out these last couple of days. It is definitely a time for dressing warm- wearing heavy coats,<br />
boots, hats, gloves etc... so that we are protected from the elements. We talked last week in chapel about the idea<br />
of dressing ourselves spiritually as well. Ephesians tells us to put on the full armor of God so that we may stand<br />
firm and be ready for battle. Certainly this is a time, when we are called to live out our faith in the midst of opposition<br />
and a time when we should always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks the reason for the<br />
hope that you have. I pray that we would wake each day ready to put on righteousness, faith, truth, peace, and<br />
salvation and that we would take up the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God.<br />
Praying this week that God’s truth would strengthen and encourage you.<br />
Reminders<br />
• Friday, February 1 st is 100 days... See class newsletters for more information.<br />
• This Friday, February 1 st , is World Vision collection day.<br />
• We will not have school Monday, February 18 th in commemoration of President’s Day.<br />
• Speech Meet and early dismissal are coming up Friday, February 22 nd .<br />

VARSITY GIRLS BASKETBALL<br />
The Lady Tigers went 1-1 on the week but played two very solid games. The first, against PTC-County opponent,<br />
Garfield, was a nail-biter from start to finish. The G-Men, who are typically near the top of the<br />
conference standings, had their hands full with the Tigers throughout the entire night. Garfield eventually<br />
pulled away with the win, 61-55. Hannah Mang and Kennedy Haubert led the Tigers in scoring with 24 and<br />
20, respectively. After being able to build off a positive performance against a very good team, the Tigers set<br />
program records in their win against Our Lady of the Elms on Saturday, 79-33. The team set a single-game<br />
scoring record and Kennedy Haubert set an individual single-game scoring record with 39 points.<br />
Week Results: Garfield G-Men (L, 55-61), Elms Panthers (W, 79-33)<br />
VARSITY BOYS BASKETBALL<br />
The Tigers only played one game on the week at Youngstown Ursuline, known as a very solid program.<br />
Though the Tigers were within striking distance and battled for an entire half, the Irish pulled away with the<br />
game in the 2nd half and ended up winning convincingly, 83-58. Payton Triplett led the team in scoring on<br />
the evening with 12. The Tigers are currently tied with Rootstown for 1st in the conference and have two big<br />
PTC-County games this week against Rootstown and Valley Christian.<br />
Week Results: Ursuline Irish (L, 58-83)<br />

THE MATTHEW 25 CHALLENGE & THE<br />
GLOBAL 6K FOR WATER<br />
Inspire students to empathize, pray, and engage with the pains of poverty<br />
like never before.<br />
Overview<br />
The Matthew 25 Challenge is a discipleship tool to<br />
help your students step out of their comfort zones<br />
and engage in God’s love for those Jesus calls “the<br />
least of these brothers and sisters<br />
of mine.” Teachers will use a 5-day program<br />
containing daily activities, compelling stories of<br />
children in need, prayer points, videos, and other<br />
ways to engage students. The week ends with a<br />
student-led prayer service, where students and<br />
their families are invited to answer Jesus’ call to<br />
love and serve by sponsoring children in need.<br />
Resources you’ll receive<br />
» Planning Guide for teachers » Child prayer cards<br />
» Launch video<br />
»Lanyards<br />
» <strong>Parent</strong> engagement cards » Yard signs<br />
» Matthew 25 chapel video » And more!<br />
Daily challenges<br />
» Monday: “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat …”<br />
Skip candy and desserts today, and have rice and beans for dinner.<br />
» Tuesday: “… I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink …”<br />
Drink only water. Every time you take a drink, pray: “God, please<br />
be with those without water today.”<br />
» Wednesday: “… I was a stranger and you invited me in …”<br />
Sleep on the floor tonight.<br />
»Thursday: “… I needed clothes and you clothed me …”<br />
Wear the same clothes you wore yesterday.<br />
» Friday: “… I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and<br />
you came to visit me.”<br />
Write an encouraging note to someone who is going through<br />
a difficult time.<br />
