Letter from our Board Chairman

Message from Den Trittin, Chairman of the Board

Dear Lighthouse Families:

On behalf of your school board, I would like to welcome you to the 2007-8 school year and to extend a sincere “thank you” for the privilege of serving you and your students. It is a blessing to play a role in developing your students to be the Christian leaders of tomorrow, and it is an awesome responsibility that we take very seriously.

Your board is extremely excited about this school year and is in awe of how God provided such outstanding principals, Tim Hoy and Debbie Schindler, to lead our program to even greater heights. As a member of the interview team that helped guide their selection, I encourage you to get acquainted with them and to witness their visionary program leadership, love of the Lord, and love of students firsthand.

The board has adopted as its theme for this year, “Excellence in everything for Christ.” Everything about our program is “fair game,” but our key areas of focus will be in academic excellence, spiritual, social, and physical development, and a long-range strategic plan. The board, administration, and faculty covet your prayers as we forge ahead.

And, we want to regularly hear from you…about the areas we are doing well and those which can be improved. Lighthouse has a culture of continuous improvement and your input to us is invaluable. Related, many of you have great ideas that we want to know about. So, don’t hesitate to share them with any of us in leadership. We value you as partners in our program!

This year, you will hear a lot from both the board and Administration about partnership and extending our reach into our parent body like never before. We are in the process of developing new board and school improvement teams, new parent groups, and several other opportunities for you to share your gifts and talents. We encourage you to read about these in our weekly newsletters and invite you to pray about how God might lead you to serve. Alternatively, you may have a heart to serve in a particular way of your choosing. Let us know and we’ll work with you! Your involvement will not only be of significant value to Lighthouse, but will also give you opportunities to build lasting friendships with other parents. Truly a “win win” situation and one that the Trittin family has experienced firsthand!

We are grateful for each and every one of you. May God richly bless you and your students in the coming year.

Best regards,
Den Trittin
Chairman of the Board
