school sports and 24 varsity sports for students
to get involved in extracurricular activities. We
encourage students to participate so that they have
the opportunity to learn how to develop character,
become strong student leaders, and work in a team
environment while building strong relationships
with teammates and coaches.
Athletic Director, Mr. Jesse Brown, welcomes
new families who are enrolling at the school and
is here to help you with questions you may have
about student engagement in athletics. Please keep
in mind that with all new student enrollments —
the Athletic Director must deem the new student
to be athletically eligible prior to participating in
any sport.

once enrolled? Sports tryouts are posted in the
weekly Principal Newsletter, on our Lumen

with the Athletic Office before participation can
begin.

MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS
SING A SONG AND PERFORM
ON STAGE! At Lumen Christi, we are fueled by fun
We sing songs of joy to the Lord through our music ministry, ensembles, and choir. Our vertical
curriculum offers options for students as they advance in their education, including vocal music,
as students move to upper grades.
To provide a platform for talent to blossom, we offer Grade 7 students the opportunity to join
the Choir through Recess! Recess Choir is a place for our seventh grade students to learn and
try their singing skills in a worry-free, fun ensemble that performs in concerts during the year.
In the second semester, middle school students have the opportunity to audition to be a part of
a dedicated production to feature up-and-coming student talent where they “can break a leg” on
stage or, if they choose, to practice their backstage production skills.

SIGN UP NOW FOR T.R.I.P.
TO REDUCE YOUR TUITION
COSTS FOR NEXT YEAR!
The Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (T.R.I.P.) is an exciting opportunity to accumulate
credit toward tuition costs. Families who use T.R.I.P. can potentially reduce their tuition by
hundreds of dollars each year by shopping at participating merchants. Through T.R.I.P., gift
certificates from grocery stores, restaurants and many other businesses are purchased at a
discount. The certificates are then sold to participating families at face value, with the discount
passed on in the form of a tuition credit. Anyone can participate in T.R.I.P. and help a family
reduce their tuition. Often other family members, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, church
members and f riends enroll in T.R.I.P. and designate their credits to a family tuition account at
the school. If you are already enrolled in T.R.I.P. at the elementary level, you may direct your
tuition reduction in the amount you would like to Lumen Christi at any time.
