Presidents Day: We will not have school on Monday, February 15.

MAP Testing: The second MAP testing session will begin Tuesday, February 16th in Math and English classes.  Please encourage your child to do his/her best on each test.  Results will be sent home in March once testing is complete.  The scores on these tests will be one factor helping teachers make course placement recommendations for next year.

Operation We Care: We are collecting items to send to our troops overseas.  An email was sent home earlier this week with a list of most requested items.  We will take whatever we collect to Greenville Place Assisted Living Center, where the items will be packed.  Greenville Place needs 5 students to help with the packing on March 6^th.  If you would like to help pack the items for shipping, please call Mr. Ham at 982-0793.

Attendance: When your child returns to school after an absence, please send a note in with them explaining why they were out.  All absences after 10 will be considered unexcused unless your student has a note from their doctor.  Students should bring the note to Mrs. Myers at 8:15, when they are dismissed from the auditorium.

Acts of Goodness: Thanks Mrs. Gabriel for hanging up our bulletin boards.  Thanks Mrs. Stuff, Mrs. Intile, Mrs. Gordon, Mrs. Schwalm, and Mrs. Fite for hanging all of the “Acts of Goodness” on our Wall of Goodness.  Ask your child how many “Acts of Goodness” they have witnessed this week.  What were the acts and who committed them?  Next week is The Bear Scavenger Hunt.  Students will identify “Acts of Goodness” committed by our teachers.

Langston Expeditions Adventure Program (L.E.A.P.):

STUDENTS!  What are YOU doing this summer?  Do you love the fresh rush of whitewater rapids?  Have you ever had your breath taken away as you top out onto a beautiful mountain overlook?  How about the thrill of carving single-track trails on your mountain bike?  Sound interesting?  Join Mr. Venable and Mr. Griffin this summer as they show you some of the best adventures that the Carolinas have to offer!  We’ll be hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and whitewater rafting each day for four weeks this summer.  The L.E.A.P. bus will leave from Langston Charter every morning from Monday through Thursday.  Trips will leave around 8:00 in the morning, returning around 6:00 the same evening.   The Cost will be $200.00 per week, or $65.00 per day.  Each day’s activity will be different.  PARENTS!  If this sounds like something that might interest your student, please visit the www.langstoncharter.org website and look for our registration form under “About Langston” and then under “Summer Camps”.  Return your completed registration packet with a check made out to LCMS to Barbara Myers at the front desk.  Available dates are June 7-10, June 14-17, June 28-July 1, July 12-15.
