Inaugural LCA Athletics Corn Hole Tournament Set for March
26th !
Lakewood Catholic Academy's Athletic
Program will hold its first annual Corn Hole Tournament on
Friday, March 26th at 6:30 in the LCA Gym. As many are aware,
the costs of participating in our sports programs are not fully
covered through participation fees of these activities.
The tournament will help in closing the gap between fees
collected and the actual cost of operations.
We would love to have you be a part of the
excitement! In addition to the opportunity to register teams or
to simply attend, we are also seeking sponsors.

In addition to the tournament itself, we'll

opportunities and for general questions, contact Holly Lauch at

you'd like to volunteer in any capacity, contact Leigh Fox at

The Fund for LCA Continues Through June 30th
 Lakewood Catholic Academy’s annual appeal has begun.
The Fund for LCA brochure was mailed to all LCA families,
friends, and benefactors this week.
We are introducing several new facets to the Fund this
year including a Fifth Birthday Challenge, an option to make a
recurring monthly gift to LCA, and new donor recognition
societies. Please
consider supporting this important initiative which helps bridge
the gap between tuition and the true cost of educating our
students. For
further information, please contact
Mary Ann Campbell, Director of Advancement at
521-0559 ext. 3041.
A Note for St. James Families…
Many of our St. James families have had questions about what
they will need to do in terms of joining a new parish,
particularly in regard to preserving their parishioner tuition
status for next year.
Those questions have been answered, and a letter was
delivered in person to each family in attendance at our recent
parent-teacher conference event. If you did not attend the
conferences or did not get your letter, please send an email to
Marketing & Admissions Director Paul Nickels at
pnickels@lakewoodcatholicacademy.com and he will send you a
copy of the letter.

Supporting Lakewood Catholic Academy: It's As Simple As
Shopping!
Once again, LCA has the opportunity to
receive cash and valuable equipment for our school simply by
participating in a variety of programs offered by Giant Eagle,
Heinen’s, Campbell’s Soup, Target, and General Mills. LCA
parents, grandparents, and friends are invited to register for
programs at Target, Giant Eagle, and Heinen’s and the school
will receive much needed resources based on our level of
participation. Saving labels and box tops from specific
Campbell’s and General Mills products have allowed LCA to
purchase gym and playground equipment and additions to our
technology needs. Last year, LCA received a check for $908
from Heinen’s “ABC School Donation Program” and $1,500 from
Target’ “Take Charge of Education” Program!!
Participation is open to anyone who would like to support LCA
so let family, friends, and neighbors know about this simple way
to help our school. Registration and participation is
free!

participation instructions.
LCA Launches Online School Census and Volunteer Form
Each and every LCA family has a unique story to tell.
As part of the LCA strategic plan, we are committed to getting
to know our families and friends. We are creating a new
database that will give us a better idea of who we are as a
school community. Current technology allows us to collect
responses online and organize them so we can make the best use
of the information we gather. This project will help us
strategically plan for our future in many ways. It will
also give LCA families and friends a convenient way to let us
know how they might share their talents with LCA.
Volunteerism has been very important to LCA since its founding
in 2005 and will play a key role in the success of our school.
We begin this process by requesting that every family
complete a short online LCA Confidential School Census form.
The census is posted on the LCA website and can be completed and
submitted online. Click here to find
a link to the survey. Please feel free
to share the link with others who might be interested in
learning more about LCA and sharing their talents. All
responses are confidential and all information will be used only
for the purpose of better serving the LCA community.close aclose
