Dear <strong>Parent</strong>s:<br />
Superintendent News<br />
By Dr. Joseph Beeson<br />
Patience, Long-suffering, and Perseverance - words that have marked my days these past weeks. Patience with<br />
circumstances that have been beyond my control. Long-suffering when disagreements cause “rifts” in valuable<br />
relationships. Perseverance to know we have an important ministry to accomplish in the lives of our students. Thank<br />
you for your prayers as we worked to do His will this year. Our desire is excellence in what we do, for those areas<br />
in which we failed to do so, we are striving to do better. For those areas where we succeeded, God gets the glory.<br />
Thank you again for your faithful prayers, support, and partnership.<br />
Blessings,<br />
Dr. Joseph Beeson<br />
Superintendent<br />

By Mrs. Stock<br />
Dear Families,<br />
What a blessing this year has been! The learning, the laughter, the growth of young hearts and minds. I am thankful<br />
for each student, family, alumni, faculty, and staff member that calls Lake Center Christian School their home. I am<br />
grateful for the new families that will be joining us in the fall and for the privilege of proclaiming the name of Christ<br />
in all that we do and say. I pray for a relaxing summer filled with lasting memories. Enjoy the time away. We look<br />
forward to seeing you for the upcoming school year!<br />
Reminders<br />
• Celebrations this year are being done by grade level. This is being done in an effort to provide a more intimate<br />
setting where students and families can reflect on the learning that has happened, the memories that have been<br />
shared, and the uniqueness of each child in a special way.<br />
• Please look at newsletters regarding field days, end of year celebrations and trips.<br />
• Please check the lost and found for missing items as they will be donated at the end of the week.<br />
• May 31 st is an early dismissal day.<br />
Have a blessed summer!<br />

International Teachers/Students<br />
Lake Center Christian School has had a long tradition of welcoming international students and teachers to our<br />
campus to enrich our culture and impact their lives. We are in need of Host Families again for 20<strong>19</strong>-2020 for two<br />
international teachers. If you are interested in learning more about this program and being a host family, please<br />
contact Kim Beavers at kbeavers@lccs.com or call during school hours for more information.<br />
Right now we have the potential of an international male teacher from China who will be working in Junior High.<br />
Please pray that his visa is granted.<br />
Yuqian “Chris” LIN (China)<br />
Age: 22, male Education: BA English (graduated in July 2018) Language(s): English rated <strong>19</strong>.5/20, fluent in Chinese<br />
Yuqian enjoys playing piano, reading, and playing table tennis. At church he is involved in small group, is a reader<br />
during the services, and previously was a leader for the youth. Yuqian is currently working at an English school as<br />
a teaching assistant (students aged 4-16) and has been there since August 2018. His role is to help the foreign teachers,<br />
translate, discipline, and talk with parents. As part of his schooling he also took pedagogy classes, qualifying<br />
him for a teacher’s license, specifically in English, and he did a school practicum in primary school for his university<br />
credits. Yuqian’s references describe him as kind, has experience working with foreigners, creative, enthusiastic but<br />
also serious, dependable, honest, consistent and resilient.<br />
We also have an application for a female international teacher from Zambia who will be working through her visa<br />
process.<br />
Nsofwa KASEKETI (Zambia)<br />
Age: 22 (F) Education: Secondary Teaching Diploma (English and Civics) (graduating July 2018) Language(s):<br />
English rated <strong>19</strong>.5/20, fluent in English and Bemba.<br />
Nsofwa loves people. She has a great support group at home. She loves to be surrounded with people and family.<br />
She is very social and makes friends by initiating conversation and asking their names. She likes to make people<br />
feel comfortable. She describes herself as a cheerful, happy person. Some of her interests are: poetry, photography,<br />
volleyball, dancing, cooking, and singing.<br />
Nsofwa has a three-year diploma in education and would one day like to be a lecturer at a college/university. She<br />
worked as an Internet Access Assistant at Gersale Internet Café helping people with projects and assignments. She<br />
has volunteer experience at church, cleaning, and preparing the grounds for people that come on Sunday. Currently<br />
she is volunteering for a program with a poetry organization to spread the word and sell tickets to poetry shows. She<br />
is very passionate about poetry, but not a poet herself. Nsofwa also worked on a community film project reaching out<br />
to young adults who want to be involved in a movie. She was there to make sure actors were present, to ensure they<br />
remembered their lines, and that props were always rearranged correctly. Nsofwa is the leader of the dance praise<br />
worship team at her church. She loves dancing and worshiping God that way. Since she has education in teaching,<br />
she would be interested in teaching jobs in the US. She would also be interested in working in a shop.<br />
We also have potential for international students again next year. If you are interested in this opportunity, please<br />
contact Stacey Bailey at staceyebailey@icloud.com. (Please see page 7 for more information).<br />

LAKE CENTER CHRISTIAN ATHLETICS<br />
LCCS Varsity Athletics Weekly Review (Week of May 20 th ):<br />
20<strong>19</strong> HIGH SCHOOL SPRING SPORTS BANQUET:<br />
High School Spring Sports Banquet is scheduled for Thursday, May 30 th , in the Cafenasium, 6:00 PM<br />
VARSITY BASEBALL:<br />
The Tigers took on Dalton in the OHSAA District Semifinal and defeated the Bulldogs, 7-4, to<br />
advance to their 4 th District Championship appearance in Program history. Will Caudle pitched<br />
a gem by going the whole game, only allowing 3 earned runs and striking out 11. Ben Price<br />
and Thomas Fulk led the offensive attack for the Tigers with multiple hits apiece. Unfortunately,<br />
the team fell short against a very talented Hillsdale team by losing 10-0 in the District<br />
Championship. Hillsdale was the top seed in the district and was ranked 4th in the OHSBCA<br />
state poll at the time. Matt Starcher, Kobe Byler, Jackson Tucker and Ben Price all collected<br />
hits in the game, the team just wasn’t able to string enough together to get any runs across<br />
the board. The Tigers finished the season 16-11, OHSAA Sectional Champions and OHSAA<br />
District Runner-ups.<br />
Week Results: Dalton Bulldogs (OHSAA District Semifinal) (W, 7-4), Hillsdale Falcons<br />
(OHSAA District Final) (L, 0-10)<br />
