"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness."

Welcome to 7A! Coming up...
What a successful Carnival we ran for students from the School of Hope in Guatemala: we raised over $1600 (that's 8 uniforms)! Grade 7 worked hard and had fun doing it! Thank you to both classes for blessing our students here at LHCS and for making high school possible for students in Guatemala. It was fun to meet them via Zoom. We look forward to more communication with them, over the course of this school year.
