“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” - 2 Timothy 1:7 Livingston Christian Schools students have submitted the last assignments for the 2019-20 school year, the teachers have graded them, report cards have been issued and summer vacation has officially begun. Congratulations to every student, parent, teacher, and support staff on the successful completion of what is sure to be remembered as the most unique school year in history. The leadership of LCS is already busy at work to plan for the 2020-21 school year. It is with great confidence and 100% reliance on the will of God, who has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind, that the plan is for students to begin the school year in the classrooms at LCS@The Naz in Brighton on August 31, 2020 at 8 a.m. While much of the plan for 2020-21 will follow the same routine we always use, please be assured that it is with great diligence that we have and will continue to research and learn all we can about the laws, recommendations and data available to us about the health and safety of our school. We will continue to update the school’s health and safety plan as needed and will notify school families of the specifics as “opening day” approaches. We are pleased with the success of LCS’ Online Instruction Days but look forward to returning to traditional, on-campus classes where students and teachers will interact, instruct, and fellowship in person. Some facets of the online program that proved organizationally and instructionally advantageous for students this spring may be incorporated by teachers into their classes this fall. We will also continue to offer the popular online dual enrollment program for students in eleventh and twelfth grades, but we recognize our families have chosen to attend LCS in part because of their desire for their children to learn in a traditional, live classroom. We are now better prepared for emergency situations, such as the one we experienced this spring and those we may face in the future. However, we look forward to seeing each student’s face on August 31.

We've already announced the retirement of Denise White, LCS second grade teacher since 2007 but we have a couple other staff members who won't be returning in the fall. Vocal music teacher Satara Johnson and her husband Sam are eagerly awaiting their first child, due to arrive in September. We all look forward to meeting their new addition and wish them the best. We also want to thank Shane Baranek for his two years of service as physical education and health teacher. We wish him well in his future endeavors.

The LCS Kindergarten Class of 2020 will be celebrated in a unique way this year.... the teachers will bring the celebration to the students during the week of May 25th.

While she's not out celebrating this year's kindergarteners, Mrs. Herndon, along with Mrs. D'Angelo, will conduct incoming student testing for those entering kindergarten at LCS in the fall of 2020. Individual appointments will be scheduled through the LCS office.

Since the virus has impacted the entire world, Ugandan schools have also been closed. The orphans whose schooling is supported by LCS through our Uganda Missions program, Simon and Chocrean, were reportedly being sent to live with their aunt. We have not heard any updates and ask that you join us in continually lifting them up in prayer.

LCS has travelled to Jamaica with Pastor Kris Mavin every-other year since 2011. However, due to the uncertainty created by the coronavirus, it has been postponed from early 2021 to early in 2022 but graduates of the LCS Class of 2021 who had planned to participate on this life-changing mission trip will be welcome to attend.

Here's the LCS Girls Bible Studies update from volunteer Bible study leader Jeanne. She is continuing to lead 4 Bible studies each week during LCS Online Instruction Days. Here's a little peek into the spiritual life of Livingston Christian Schools: "It's just amazing to have the girls want to study together. We are studying Daniel- it's such a great book of encouragement where we see faith played out in lives of those who are going through tough times. An LCS sophomore has stepped up to help co-lead the study. It's something I've wanted her to do and since she is very passionate about the book of Daniel, it's a good chance for her. She has exceeded my expectations and is doing a fantasic job. She also invited a friend who lives quite far away to join us- how cool is that?! "The girls are delving into the Bible like never before! We have gone through the book of Philemon, 1 Thessalonians, part of 1 John again and half of Daniel since we've transitioned to the online learning format. The girls can't get enough and some "stay" after the study just to talk about the Bible. It's amazing to be a part of it! They can't get enough of God. "I'm kinda tired in the best way possible" - Jeanne

The interview committee has chosen our replacement for the beloved Mrs. White beginning next fall. Mrs. Julie Byers, a former LCS teacher and sister-in-law of our Mrs. Michelle Byers, has agreed to jump right in and carry on when Mrs. White retires at the end of the year. Mrs. Byers earned her BS in elementary education at Indiana Wesleyan University and currently teaches K-2 reading and phonemic awareness at HT Smith. We are excited for Mrs. White being able to join her husband in retirement and pleased that God has provided Mrs. Byers to continue on the work in second grade.
