Dear Parents and Guardians,

Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken. Psalm 55:22

As we celebrate the completion of another successful school year, there’s always mixed emotions as we say farewell to some of you and also to some of our staff members. For those families who are moving to new locations and new schools, we pray for a blessing of peace and safety over you and your children. We also wish our Seniors all the very best as they continue on with the next chapter of life after LGCA. We are so very proud of our 15th graduating class and their accomplishments. I know that wherever God leads them, they will continue to shape history as they follow the plan He has set before them.

We bid a fond farewell to the following departing staff members: Jessica Dennis and Bronwyn Gray from our high school, and Mr. Ferguson as he enjoys the beginning of a well-deserved retirement after 46 years in education. We give thanks for the time that we’ve had together with these beloved staff members and pray for their good health as they continue on the path that God has set before them. Even with these departures, please rest assured that we are ready for the upcoming school. God is great in His care and love for us.

I pray you have a summer that refreshes and renews your spirit. May you take the time to reconnect with those you haven’t seen in a while to catch up, to share a good story, and to laugh. I encourage you to plug back into your church and become part of that community not just for yourself, but for your children. As we continue to serve as role models for our children, may they know how important our relationship is with our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Blessings for an amazing summer. See you in the new school year!
