Superintendent News by Dr. Joseph Beeson<br />
”Let us not fool ourselves - without Christianity, without Christian educ<strong>at</strong>ion,<br />
without the principles of Christ inculc<strong>at</strong>ed into young life, we are simply<br />
rearing pagans.”<br />
Peter Marshall<br />
By Dr. Joseph Beeson,<br />
Superintendent<br />
Over forty years of service in Christian educ<strong>at</strong>ion confirms this quote in my<br />
mind. Our school reminders about the importance of a Biblical worldview<br />
too often fall on the ears of those who themselves have no Biblical worldview.<br />
Why? Most were educ<strong>at</strong>ed “without the principles of Christ inculc<strong>at</strong>ed into<br />
[their] young life.” As a result, moral and ethical issues are often decided on wh<strong>at</strong><br />
feels good or wh<strong>at</strong> “won’t hurt” someone else.<br />
The title of the public<strong>at</strong>ion you are reading is “The <strong>Light</strong>.” Our purpose is to give light to this world — to be a city<br />
set on a hill. We can do th<strong>at</strong>, but <strong>at</strong> times th<strong>at</strong> does mean pushing against the darkness. We want our children to speak<br />
the truth — but to SPEAK it. If the truth offends, may it offend so people repent and turn from darkness to light. If<br />
truth offends, may it offend to protect those who are innocent. If truth offends, may it be so th<strong>at</strong> our own lifestyles,<br />
homes, and families become different from wh<strong>at</strong> people see in the world.<br />
Cafenasium Dedic<strong>at</strong>ion:<br />
God’s Providence Has Made it Possible<br />
by Sheryl Roberts, Director of Advancement<br />
With God’s guidance and providence, Lake Center Christian School<br />
announces the completion of the Cafenasium Capital Project. This<br />
project has added a multi-purpose space to the present campus. The<br />
facility includes an expanded kitchen, cafeteria, and additional gym<br />
space th<strong>at</strong> will also be used for chapels and school programs. Additional<br />
restrooms and a locker room area are included. Many of you<br />
have prayed and invested your time, talents, and treasure to make<br />
this dream a reality. Thank-you!<br />
Groundbreaking for the Cafenasium was on September 27, 2013.<br />
Through the faithful investment of our partners, this nearly 3 million<br />
dollar project will be in full use during the <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong>-2020 school year.<br />
The Board has declared the project complete and plans are being<br />
made for an open house/dedic<strong>at</strong>ion of the Cafenasium during “Backto-School<br />
Night” on Friday, <strong>August</strong> 16, from 4:30-7:00 <strong>PM</strong>. A meal<br />
will be available for purchase th<strong>at</strong> evening. Please mark your calendars<br />
for this exciting event and make plans to <strong>at</strong>tend. At 7:00 <strong>PM</strong>, we<br />
will have a Prayer of Dedic<strong>at</strong>ion in the cafenasium.<br />

Secondary News by Jeff Knori<br />
“I have told you these things, so th<strong>at</strong> in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart!<br />
I have overcome the world.”After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “F<strong>at</strong>her, the hour has come.<br />
Glorify your Son, th<strong>at</strong> your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people th<strong>at</strong> he might give<br />
eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: th<strong>at</strong> they know you, the only true God, and Jesus<br />
Christ, whom you have sent. John 16:33-<strong>17</strong>:3<br />
Near the end of His farewell discourse and just before His High Priestly prayer Christ speaks to His F<strong>at</strong>her and makes<br />
a powerful st<strong>at</strong>ement, “Now this is eternal life: th<strong>at</strong> they may know You, (God).”<br />
Like the Kingdom of God which can be realized now and in the future, eternal life begins the day we come to know<br />
Christ and by His grace we will continue to know and grow in th<strong>at</strong> knowledge forevermore.<br />
But knowing God must be more than mere mental assent; to<br />
simply know someone or something on an intellectual basis.<br />
The Bible teaches th<strong>at</strong> we can know God in personal experience,<br />
th<strong>at</strong> we have the ability to know Him as well as we know<br />
any other person or thing. To know God, really know Him and<br />
grow in th<strong>at</strong> knowledge, is the goal of the Christian life.<br />
Our prayer for every student <strong>at</strong> Lake Center is th<strong>at</strong> they would<br />
know Him, grow in the knowledge of Him, and make Him<br />
known. We covet your prayers for another year as we partner<br />
with you and your Church to raise up the next gener<strong>at</strong>ion for<br />
Christ.<br />
HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES NEW FOR THE <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong>/2020 SCHOOL YEAR!<br />
By Monique Bailey<br />
Introduction to Accounting and Business (Semester Class - Spring, .5 credit)<br />
This semester course will provide high school students the opportunity to explore financial concepts and career applic<strong>at</strong>ions.<br />
Students will learn basic accounting skills and financial concepts such as investments, legacy planning, and business law as well<br />
as biblical teaching rel<strong>at</strong>ed to leadership, stewardship, and service. Students should apply for this class through the Guidance<br />
office. Class space is limited to 10 students.<br />
College Credit Plus (CCP) Principles of Biology will be taught <strong>at</strong> Lake Center during spring semester. Students will earn 3.5<br />
college credits through Cedarville University and earn 1 high school credit towards their Science requirement. Students will<br />
need to follow the guidelines to enroll in CCP.<br />
Wh<strong>at</strong> is the purpose of the Secondary Guidance Office?<br />
The purpose of the secondary guidance office is to influence students’ academic, social, emotional and personal development in<br />
the framework of the Bible. The School Counselor prepares classroom guidance lessons on careers, organiz<strong>at</strong>ion, stress management,<br />
suicide prevention, drug and alcohol prevention, as well as purity unit during 7 th grade gender separ<strong>at</strong>ion week.<br />
The Secondary Guidance Office is a wealth of inform<strong>at</strong>ion. It is vital th<strong>at</strong> parents read the Guidance section in the parent memo<br />
weekly, so they do not miss important deadlines and inform<strong>at</strong>ion pertinent to their student. Feel free to contact us with questions<br />
in the following areas:<br />
Scheduling<br />
College visits, and college prepar<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
Testing<br />
Tigers and Cubs Mentoring program<br />

Elementary News by Dannon Stock<br />
TRAIN UP A CHILD<br />
“Train up a child in the way th<strong>at</strong> they should go; even<br />
when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6<br />
We continue to live in a society th<strong>at</strong> is ever changing.<br />
Much is thrown <strong>at</strong> our children today th<strong>at</strong> many of us did<br />
not have to think through until well into adulthood. Our<br />
children live in a cultural moment th<strong>at</strong> demands readiness<br />
and prepar<strong>at</strong>ion. Biblical values are no longer the<br />
norm, nor are they readily accepted as such.<br />
Our children are, and will continue to be, engaged in a<br />
b<strong>at</strong>tle — a b<strong>at</strong>tle th<strong>at</strong> we need to prepare them to lead<br />
with confidence, strength, discernment, and most of all<br />
truth. This is why a Christian educ<strong>at</strong>ion is so important.<br />
In order to stand strong and lead with authority, they need<br />
the tools and training necessary to impact culture.<br />
A Christian educ<strong>at</strong>ion provides support to the family and<br />
the church. It gives children the advantage of consistency.<br />
It grants them the ability to see their learning, on all<br />
fronts, presented through the lens of Christ. A Christian<br />
educ<strong>at</strong>ion is a critical component of developing leaders<br />
ready to make a difference in the world.<br />
I am reminded of the story of David and Goli<strong>at</strong>h. Goli<strong>at</strong>h<br />
appeared to be insurmountable. The armies of Israel were<br />
afraid to confront Goli<strong>at</strong>h even as he mocked God. This<br />
is where David comes in. David came in the name of the<br />
Lord Almighty. He stood his ground, armed with truth,<br />
and brought down the giant.<br />
I am gr<strong>at</strong>eful to be <strong>at</strong> a school where children are taught<br />
truth. Gr<strong>at</strong>eful to be in a setting where children are prepared<br />
to do b<strong>at</strong>tle. Gr<strong>at</strong>eful for families th<strong>at</strong> partner with<br />
us in doing so. Together we are raising up a gener<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
th<strong>at</strong> is able to influence their world and make a difference.<br />

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MINERAL AND CHEMICAL SUNSCREENS, AND<br />
WHICH SHOULD I CHOOSE?<br />
“Mineral sunscreens (Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) reflect UV light off the skin’s surface,<br />
whereas chemical ones (such as oxybenzone, octinox<strong>at</strong>e, and avobenzone) change<br />
UV light into he<strong>at</strong> energy (which is less damaging) on the skin’s surface,” explains<br />
Melanie Palm, M.D., a derm<strong>at</strong>ologist in San Diego. Traditional mineral sunscreens, per<br />
their name, are made up of ground minerals, which can be gentler on skin but also may<br />
leave visible residue. “Chemical sunscreens can have less of a film and tend to spend<br />
more easily,” she says.<br />

HELP! HOW DO I PLAN A COLLEGE VISIT?<br />
by K<strong>at</strong>hy Pohly<br />
The Secondary Guidance Office is happy to help students begin<br />
thinking about their next step after high school; whether<br />
it be college, trade school, missions, or working. If college is<br />
the plan, getting started on thinking about college and how to<br />
prepare is daunting. During the junior year of high school is the<br />
best time to make college visits. It is ideal if college visits can<br />
be completed by l<strong>at</strong>e fall of the senior year so th<strong>at</strong> final applic<strong>at</strong>ions<br />
can be made to colleges of interest in order to receive<br />
the opportunity for scholarship dollars. Scholarship decisions<br />
are often made and dollars distributed in February/March of<br />
th<strong>at</strong> same school year with scholarship interviews taking place<br />
in December and January. Lake Center allows for 3 excused<br />
absence days to visit colleges so planning visits around school<br />
days off is often helpful for schools th<strong>at</strong> are a distance away to<br />
visit.<br />
In order to have a thorough visit, plan enough time <strong>at</strong> the college<br />
to accomplish the following:<br />
1. Plan to visit if possible when classes are in session instead<br />
of during summer or holiday breaks.<br />
2. Take a campus tour.<br />
3. Meet with Admissions and the Financial Aid Departments.<br />
4. Sit in on a class in your intended major (i.e., if you are a<br />
music major, go to band or choir rehearsal).<br />
5. If you are an <strong>at</strong>hlete, meet with the coach of the sport you<br />
intend to play while there.<br />
6. Attend a chapel service (if going to a Christian college<br />
where weekday chapels are scheduled.)<br />
7. Always e<strong>at</strong> in the cafeteria.<br />
8. Stay overnight in a dorm. The college will happily arrange<br />
this for you.<br />
9. Many colleges have organized visit weekends th<strong>at</strong> you<br />
may prefer to particip<strong>at</strong>e in. Check their websites for these<br />
campus visit events.<br />
This can all be scheduled by calling colleges of interest and<br />
speaking with someone in the Admissions Office. Tell them everything<br />
you would like to include in your visit and they should<br />
be able to arrange it for you.<br />

The Marine Biology Mini-term leaves for Key West on<br />
Monday, June <strong>17</strong>, <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong>. This year we have <strong>17</strong> students<br />
<strong>at</strong>tending this Mini-term led by Mr. Sean Miller, Science<br />

Every fall, Lake Center hosts several college represent<strong>at</strong>ives<br />
from local and distant colleges during lunch. Take the opportunity<br />
to talk with visiting represent<strong>at</strong>ives, especially if you don’t<br />
know where you may <strong>at</strong>tend. Never worry th<strong>at</strong> you don’t know<br />
wh<strong>at</strong> questions to ask. They know how to talk with you to get<br />
those thoughts and questions about college rolling! There are<br />
also area college fairs being held each fall. We make sure to list<br />
those in the weekly Parent Memo so you can plan to <strong>at</strong>tend and<br />
speak with numerous college represent<strong>at</strong>ives in one evening.<br />

TUITION ASSISTANCE<br />
Would you be willing to help a<br />
LCCS Family by helping to support<br />
them financially? We have a program<br />
where we provide financial assistance<br />
to families th<strong>at</strong> may not be<br />
able to keep their students <strong>at</strong>tending<br />
LCCS without some financial help. They have to complete<br />
an applic<strong>at</strong>ion, and then the Tuition Assistance Committee<br />
determines wh<strong>at</strong> they will receive. Some of our families<br />
wouldn’t be able to <strong>at</strong>tend without this help! Would you<br />
help? Tuition Assistance is a gre<strong>at</strong> way to show you care<br />
about LCCS families and our mission.
FROM THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE:<br />
We are so excited with the number of new students God<br />
has led to <strong>at</strong>tend LCCS for the <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong>/2020 academic<br />
year! As of June 10, <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong>, we have accepted and enrolled<br />
100 new students (50 new families). We have<br />
increased our Kindergarten and Sixth Grades to include<br />
three classrooms.<br />
Enrolling a student <strong>at</strong> Lake Center Christian School<br />
(LCCS) is a process and the enrollment of a student is<br />
not assumed. LCCS wants to make sure th<strong>at</strong> each student<br />
enrolled is mission appropri<strong>at</strong>e and th<strong>at</strong> the school<br />
has programing in place to meet academic, social, and<br />
spiritual needs. The admissions process takes into consider<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
the family’s commitment to Christian educ<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
and their church, as well as student academic readiness<br />
for full inclusion class placement. Discerning if the<br />
school can meet a student’s needs is important to their<br />
success.<br />
NOTE: Most students applying for admissions to LCCS do so because<br />
of a recommend<strong>at</strong>ion from a current or alumni LCCS family.<br />
We encourage you to share your family’s experience while<br />
<strong>at</strong>tending LCCS with families who are looking for a school where<br />
students are equipped with a Biblical worldview th<strong>at</strong> teaches them<br />
to say yes to God, and empowers them to influence their world for<br />
His Kingdom.<br />

Lake Center Christian School has had a long tradition of welcoming intern<strong>at</strong>ional students and teachers to our<br />
campus to enrich our culture and impact their lives. The Intern<strong>at</strong>ional Volunteer Exchange Program (IVEP) is<br />
a yearlong volunteer work and cultural exchange opportunity for young, Christian adults. Every year 60 IVEP<br />
participants come from more than 25 countries around the world to volunteer in the U.S. or Canada, where they<br />
live with a local person or family. Since its beginning in <strong>19</strong>50, IVEP has emphasized peacemaking and building<br />
understanding across cultures.<br />
Lake Center is always looking for Host Families. Again for <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong>-2020 the school will have one IVEP teacher.<br />
If you are interested in learning more about this program and being a host family, please contact Kim Beavers <strong>at</strong><br />

Calista Hudak, Alumnus from the Class of 20<strong>17</strong><br />
Calista, daughter of Tyler and Denise Hudak, lives in North Canton and<br />
gradu<strong>at</strong>ed in 20<strong>17</strong>. She is <strong>at</strong>tending Mount Vernon Nazarene University<br />
and is earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She <strong>at</strong>tended Lake<br />
Center Christian School for all of 13 years of her elementary and secondary<br />
educ<strong>at</strong>ion. She is currently working <strong>at</strong> GentleBrook. Her sister Nadya<br />
is a Junior <strong>at</strong> Lake Center Christian School in <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong>-2020. Mrs. Hudak is<br />
very involved in LCCS in PTF and she is the President of the Fine Arts<br />
Booster Club.<br />
Here are some words of advice from Calista.<br />
Wh<strong>at</strong> is the best lesson you learned <strong>at</strong> Lake Center Christian School?<br />
High school is just four years of your life. There is so much more to life<br />
than peer pressure, being popular, and the kids who are mean. Things get<br />
better once you realize th<strong>at</strong>.<br />
How did Lake Center Christian prepare you for wh<strong>at</strong> you are doing now?<br />
Apologetics and the Biblical Worldview classes gave me some insight into the “real world.”<br />
Please complete the Alumni<br />
Google Form so th<strong>at</strong> we can<br />
connect with you! We want<br />
to know wh<strong>at</strong> is occurring in<br />
your life! Please let us know if<br />
you have gotten married, or received<br />
a blessing of a little one!<br />
bit.ly/LCCSAlumni<br />
Wh<strong>at</strong> class best prepared you for life after Lake Center Christian School?<br />
Apologetics<br />
Wh<strong>at</strong> were your favorite memories of Lake Center?<br />
Any Band concert I performed in. (Calista is very musically talented and has learned to play<br />
numerous instruments.)<br />
Wh<strong>at</strong> is one of your favorite Scripture verses?<br />
James 4:7-10 The Message; “So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and<br />
w<strong>at</strong>ch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and he’ll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in<br />
sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun<br />
and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master;<br />
it’s the only way you’ll get on your feet.”<br />
Wh<strong>at</strong> would you say to someone thinking about Christian Educ<strong>at</strong>ion, or Attending<br />
Lake Center Christian in the future?<br />
Christian Educ<strong>at</strong>ion can help with backing your religious beliefs, or challenge them completely,<br />
both of which are good. LCCS gives you those challenges<br />
- just remember th<strong>at</strong> no school is perfect and th<strong>at</strong> LCCS is extremely competitive<br />
when it comes to grades. You’ll find a few close friends, and th<strong>at</strong>’s gre<strong>at</strong>.<br />

Spring Season Wrap Up<br />
Athletics by Shane Byler<br />
THE <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong> LCCS SPRING SPORTS SEASONS WERE FILLED WITH EXCITEMENT AND MANY<br />
NEW EXPERIENCES FOR OUR TEAMS.<br />
The softball program, led by firstyear<br />
head coach, Howard Leonard,<br />
enjoyed a very positive experience<br />
in <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong>. After a strong 2018<br />
campaign th<strong>at</strong> saw the Softball Team<br />
finish with a 13-11 record and their<br />
first-ever OHSAA District Championship<br />
appearance, Coach Leonard knew<br />
th<strong>at</strong> there would be work to do since the<br />
<strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong> roster was almost entirely different<br />
from the previous year. The young team<br />
with only one returning upperclassman,<br />
Kennedy Haubert, got to work and<br />
proved to be very competitive throughout<br />
the season and got better with each<br />
game. The season was highlighted with<br />
wins over Kenmore-Garfield (twice),<br />
Cornerstone Christian, Akron North and<br />
Canton Central C<strong>at</strong>holic, among others,<br />
and a very big OHSAA Sectional Semifinal<br />
win over Open Door Christian.<br />
Macy Kline and Faith West were both<br />
named PTC Honorable Mention recipients,<br />
while Nicole Miller earned PTC<br />
2 nd Team Honors, and Kennedy Haubert<br />
and Kaydri Sommers were both named<br />
on the PTC 1 st Team. The future seems<br />
bright for the LCCS Softball Team and<br />
they’ll continue to take steps forward<br />
each year.<br />
The baseball program, led by head<br />
coach, Shane Byler (7 th year),<br />
enjoyed a very positive season.<br />
The Tigers finished 16-11 (4 th most<br />
wins in a season) despite a very difficult<br />
non-conference schedule th<strong>at</strong> included<br />
games against Canton Central C<strong>at</strong>holic,<br />
Lake, GlenOak, and Jackson. The difficult<br />
schedule prepare the Tigers for the<br />
Tournament as they went on to knock off<br />
Open Door Christian, Cuyahoga Heights<br />
(2-seed & ranked #8 on the OHSBCA<br />
St<strong>at</strong>e Poll) and Dalton (3-seed) in order<br />
to reach the Program’s 4 th District Championship<br />
Game. Unfortun<strong>at</strong>ely, Hillsdale<br />
(1-seed & ranked #4 on the OHSBCA<br />
St<strong>at</strong>e Poll) proved to be too much for Tigers.<br />
Despite the disappointing District<br />
Runner-up finish, the Tigers were proud<br />
of the season they put together overall<br />
and believe the found<strong>at</strong>ion for future<br />
success was established even more<br />
throughout the <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong> campaign. The team<br />
saw six players earn PTC honors including:<br />
Kobe Byler and Daniel Under<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
(Honorable Mention), Jackson Tucker<br />
and Ben Price (2 nd Team), and Will Caudle<br />
and M<strong>at</strong>t Starcher (1 st Team).<br />
<strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong> District Baseball Champions<br />
The track and field program, led<br />
by second-year head coach, Brian<br />
Stock, experienced some gre<strong>at</strong><br />
successes throughout the <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong> season.<br />
There was a tremendous increase<br />
in particip<strong>at</strong>ion this year so th<strong>at</strong> one<br />
of the biggest groups we’ve ever had<br />
particip<strong>at</strong>e in track and field <strong>at</strong> LCCS.<br />
Though the team was still much smaller<br />
than most of the schools they competed<br />
against, they experienced a lot of individual<br />
success and remained competitive<br />
as a team. New LCCS records were<br />
set by the following: Medgine Wojton<br />
(12.94, 100M Dash), Jackson Tucker,<br />
Joel Meyer, Aidan Green and Silas<br />
Kadlecek (9:08.00, 4x800M Relay). Eliz<br />
Slabaugh, Medgine Wojton, Jon<strong>at</strong>han<br />
King and Silas Kadlecek all earned PTC<br />
Honorable Mention Honors. Joel Meyer<br />
claimed 2 nd Team Honors for the boys.<br />
We are excited to see the track and field<br />
program continue to take steps forward<br />
under the guidance of Coach Stock and<br />
his staff.<br />

FALL SPORTS<br />
<strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong>-2020<br />
On Monday, May 13 th , the LCCS Athletic Department<br />
held its annual College Athletic Commitment<br />
Day and saw six senior student-<strong>at</strong>hletes<br />
sign their n<strong>at</strong>ional letters of intent to continue their academic<br />
and <strong>at</strong>hletic careers <strong>at</strong> the collegi<strong>at</strong>e level. We’re<br />
excited to see basketball players, Kennedy Haubert (Tiffin<br />
University), Ellie Mizener (Kent St<strong>at</strong>e-Tuscarwaras)<br />
and Payton Triplett (Malone University), soccer player,<br />
Christian Zavarelli (Malone University), volleyball<br />
player, Olivia Moore (Geneva College) and cross country<br />
and track and field <strong>at</strong>hlete, Eliz Slabaugh (Grove<br />
City College) all continue their academic and <strong>at</strong>hletic<br />
careers <strong>at</strong> the next level. On behalf of the LCCS Athletic<br />
Department, we’d like to express our gr<strong>at</strong>itude to<br />
our coaches, <strong>at</strong>hletes, parents, and supporters for their<br />
commitment to LCCS Athletics, and also send our best<br />
wishes to our <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong> spring sport seniors as they move on<br />
from LCCS.<br />
SUMMER TIGERS<br />
We have two <strong>Summer</strong> Tigers Baseball Youth Teams<br />
(Blue & Gold) th<strong>at</strong> are playing this summer. The Blue<br />
team is 6 th grade students and the Gold team is 7 th grade<br />
students. They are playing teams such as Coventry,<br />
Malvern, Minerva, Perry, Manchester, West Salem,<br />
Wadsworth, Massillon, GlenOak, Barberton, Northwest,<br />
Mogadore, First Friends, and Streetsboro.<br />
We enter into the fall sports seasons with a lot of<br />
excitement surrounding our entire <strong>at</strong>hletic program.<br />
The fall is our busiest time of the year but<br />
also one of the most exciting as well. With six different varsity<br />
teams competing: boys soccer, girls soccer, boys golf, girls<br />
golf, cross country, and volleyball, there are very few days<br />
th<strong>at</strong> an <strong>at</strong>hletic contest is not taking place, sometimes even<br />
multiple events happening <strong>at</strong> a time!<br />
A sport th<strong>at</strong> we are adding is a Varsity Bowling team! We<br />
are going to be playing against our regular PAC teams <strong>at</strong> the<br />
Turkeyfoot Lanes. We are putting the coaching staff together<br />
now and will start looking for team members once school<br />
begins for the Winter Sports season.<br />
We are also excited about the strong coaching staff th<strong>at</strong> is in<br />
place for the year ahead. Bryan Smith (Boys Soccer), Jim<br />
Kadlecek (Girls Soccer), Doug Byler (Boys Golf) and Julie<br />
W<strong>at</strong>son (Cross Country) will all return as varsity head coaches<br />
in <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong>. Newly hired, Hannah Miller, will take over <strong>at</strong> the<br />
helm of the Girls Volleyball Program. Coach Miller has most<br />
recently served as the JV Volleyball Head Coach <strong>at</strong> LCCS,<br />
but her coaching experience also includes stints as the JV<br />
and Varsity Head Coach <strong>at</strong> Central Christian School, along<br />
with multiple J.O. Volleyball seasons and work as a priv<strong>at</strong>e<br />
instructor. Coach Miller gradu<strong>at</strong>ed from Central Christian<br />
School where she played volleyball and then continued her<br />
academic and volleyball career <strong>at</strong> both Ashland University<br />
and Malone University. She currently resides in the area<br />
with her husband, Sean Miller (LCCS High School Science<br />
Teacher / JV Girls Basketball Coach), and her son Elijah.<br />
We are currently continuing<br />
our search for<br />
a new Varsity Girls<br />
Golf Head Coach.<br />

THE LIGHT SUMMER <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong>
Mentoring Program and Career Fair by Sarah Keene<br />
At Lake Center Christian School, we have two Mentoring Programs available for Elementary Students.<br />
V.A.L.U.E. Reading Program<br />
In this literacy awareness program, 1 st - and 2 nd -grade LCCS students are m<strong>at</strong>ched with a volunteer<br />
(either an adult from the Lake Center Community or an LCCS High School student).<br />
Students meet weekly with their “reading buddy” to read a book of the student’s choice, followed<br />
by a fun activity. VALUE is not a tutoring program, in which specific skills are taught,<br />
but instead is designed as a fun, interactive approach to encouraging students to read more<br />
frequently and to develop a passion for reading.<br />
Tigers & Cubs<br />
“Cubs” (LCCS students in grades 3 & 4) are m<strong>at</strong>ched with “Tigers” (LCCS students in grades 9-12) for a year-long<br />
mentoring rel<strong>at</strong>ionship. Tigers and Cubs meet weekly during lunch for the purpose of developing a friendship and<br />
providing a Christian role model for the Elementary student. While e<strong>at</strong>ing together, Tigers & Cubs may play a convers<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
game, do an activity, or particip<strong>at</strong>e in a Bible Study together.<br />
The Mentoring Program has been cre<strong>at</strong>ed for the purpose of providing Elementary students with a mentor who can<br />
provide support, encouragement, and a Christian role model. The mentors (all LCCS High School students) must<br />
complete an applic<strong>at</strong>ion and interview (including references) and be accepted into the program by the LCCS School<br />
Counselors. The mentoring programs are free and available to all students. 1 st & 2 nd grade students can particip<strong>at</strong>e in<br />
VALUE Reading by parent request, and all 3 rd - and 4 th -grade students are able to particip<strong>at</strong>e in Tigers & Cubs.<br />
Adults or High School students who are interested in volunteering as mentors should contact Mrs. Bailey for an<br />
applic<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>at</strong> mbailey@lccs.com. Parents of Elementary students can contact Mrs. Keene with any questions <strong>at</strong><br />
skeene@lccs.com.<br />

Value Reading Program<br />
VALUE READING PROGRAM<br />
<strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong> celebr<strong>at</strong>es the 8 th year for Value Reading Program <strong>at</strong> Lake Center<br />
Christian School (LCCS). Initi<strong>at</strong>ed as a supplemental educ<strong>at</strong>ional program<br />
for elementary students, Value Reading was birthed from a desire<br />
to instill firstly, a lifelong passion for reading and secondarily to increase<br />
the student’s reading comprehension. In 2011, Sheryl Roberts, then Elementary<br />
Principal, established this extracurricular opportunity to benefit<br />
elementary students. Adults from the local community and Lake Center<br />
Christian School high school students serve as readers and tutors sharing<br />
not only their passion for books but friendship as well. Once a week during<br />
the school year, students enjoy their favorite books along with games, and<br />
activities which reinforce reading concepts and comprehension. According<br />
to Kelsey Foote, Elementary Intervention Specialist <strong>at</strong> Lake Center Christian<br />
School, this year there are more than 60 students enrolled the program<br />
and over 30 community readers involved in 1 st and 2 nd grade alone. She is<br />
quick to st<strong>at</strong>e th<strong>at</strong> the vision of the Value Reading Program is instilling the<br />
love for reading from one gener<strong>at</strong>ion to another.<br />
One of the many readers involved in the Value Reading Program is Karl Kiener. Mr. Kiener is a retired salesman<br />
from the community, who has been a reader since 2013. He was first introduced to the program through his<br />
church’s Sunday School teacher who asked for volunteers. Helping young students to read, and being with the<br />
children each week keeps him young <strong>at</strong> heart. Kiener chuckled when he said there is no lack of convers<strong>at</strong>ion with<br />
the young children. Opening each session in prayer, Kiener listens to his students. They are eager to share their<br />
thoughts while Kiener is eager to share his love for reading. Not only does he engage the students in the basics of<br />
reading, he offers help with their pronunci<strong>at</strong>ion, diction, and comprehension. During his sessions he notices the<br />
little things such as hygiene, mood, or health and offers encouragement and grandf<strong>at</strong>herly wisdom. Kiener believes,<br />
“The more children read, the more they learn, and the more prepared for life they will be.”<br />
Mr. Kiener recalled a favorite story about a young reader who was sent to the principal’s office for disrespecting<br />
his teacher. Instead of meeting the student <strong>at</strong> the classroom, Kiener went to the office to see if he was needed. There<br />
he met his reader (who was glad to see him). As he spoke to the student, he gently approached the topic of the<br />
disciplinary action and listened to the young boy’s story. Kiener reflected, “This opportunity allowed me to help<br />
him with a skill. I was able to advise him about showing respect to his teachers and parents.” He was able to teach<br />
this young reader how to manage his temper. How to act responsibly in his situ<strong>at</strong>ion. How to communic<strong>at</strong>e to those<br />
around him when he is frustr<strong>at</strong>ed. L<strong>at</strong>er th<strong>at</strong> day, the young boy rushed down the hallway to meet Mr. Kiener and<br />
the student handed him a handmade card. The unguarded affirm<strong>at</strong>ion from his reader demonstr<strong>at</strong>ed the influence<br />
Value Readers of different gener<strong>at</strong>ions have with their students. Older mentors of previous gener<strong>at</strong>ions are invaluable<br />
to the students. Their passion for reading, their diverse experiences in life enrich each life.<br />
The Value Reading Program, according to Karl Kiener, is not only about sharing his passion of reading to the young<br />
students but also about sharing wisdom, life skills, prayer, and convers<strong>at</strong>ion. For Kiener, it’s a two-way street - one<br />
gener<strong>at</strong>ion sharing wisdom and knowledge, another sharing hope, life, and communic<strong>at</strong>ion. For more inform<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
