Question: What do you love most about LCS?
Me: Everything!
THE END.
Ha, kidding!! Kidding about ‘the end’ part… the ‘everything’ answer is truth. We love our school so much in fact that I often get emotional (can’t help it!) when talking about it. The BLESSING has been that big. This is our 6th year getting to call Lifegate Christian School HOME… it started with two years of preschool and now we’re rockin’ and rollin’ in the 3rd grade.
Can we start with the teachers? Every single teacher of ours has felt like a hero. Every one of them. My son and I have been prayed over, counseled, hugged, encouraged, and loved. Notice I said ‘my son and I’… his teachers have of course taught my son in the classroom, but they have loved US like family in real life. As busy as teachers are and as great as these educators are, all of them have taken time, numerous times, to make sure we are ok with things outside of school. Life gets crazy and hard, right? We have been loved through all the things. I am so grateful.
The education! That’s pretty important. I have not been let down. My son enjoys his days, his creativity is encouraged and praised, and I mostly appreciate a Jesus-centered curriculum. Praise God for a building filled with staff who all love Jesus and who are leading our kids to become world changers! In a world that seems upside-down and unpredictable, I can rest in the fact that for 7 hours each day, my son is in a stable and safe environment where TRUTH is spoken. Thank you, Jesus.
Do the kids have fun? YES!! Field trips, community service days, fundraisers (I promise, definitely part of the FUN list!), chapel, art, music, field day, class parties, RECESS AND HOT LUNCH, and the list goes on. One of my son’s favorite things so far this year was being ‘student of the week’ and I love that there has been some version of that in each grade. It’s good for the soul to feel special! I love seeing his friendships grow and new ones bloom. These kids care a lot for each other. In kindergarten, my son absolutely loved having a 4th grade reading buddy. He can’t wait to be on the other end and spend time with his own kindergartner soon. I’m thankful that LCS promotes friendships with all peers, all grade levels. The kids love having someone to look up to just as much as mentoring the littles. Training our kids to do life together – it’s a great thing!
I honestly could go on… LCS has been the biggest blessing for us and I am so thankful we have the opportunity to attend this school. All of the staff truly care about our children and we feel at home here. Praying for a safe, healthy, TRUTH-filled, and FUN year for all our kiddos!
