Dear Parents and Guardians,
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16:33 NIV
As we celebrate Easter this weekend, I trust we celebrate with a joyful heart. No matter what this past year has held for us, let us lift our voices together and say that: He is Risen! There may be some wondering how they can face tomorrow as they drag burdens around with them. However, I want to urge us all to release those burdens and remember the joy that we know that awaits us in heaven! Just as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we can celebrate the resurrection of hope and rebirth of joy this Easter Sunday. As we create memories by threading stories together and verbally painting portraits from one event to the next, we are to be mindful of the legacy we are leaving behind. It will certainly be one that our family holds in their hearts. No matter how great our hurt has been, we have the example of Jesus to look up to and give thanks for. There is no cross of pain that can hold us down! There is no suffering that can hold us back because our God is a living God! Jesus is alive and his story reminds us that he overcame the sinful world for our salvation. Blessings to you and your family as you not only enjoy the rebirth that is happening all around us in God's creation, but also joyfully celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ this Easter weekend.

HS Business Club
The business club at LGCA has been in partnership with JABC (Junior Achievement British Columbia) to implement their Company Program. This program allows students to explore entrepreneurship - from pitching a business idea to liquidation. This year, the business club has launched a company called Superkool, where they sold sports cooling towels aimed to address UN goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being. They will also be donating 30% of their profits to Reachout to Africa (Hope Club). Last week, Superkool successfully sold out of all 100 of its products! The business club fosters students’ development of various skills, from leadership, and communication, to accounting and finance. We would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Shirely Xu a Grade 12 student on being the winner of the junior entrepreneur award from JABC. Well done to Shirley on this fabulous achievement.
