Online Health Sign-up for High School Students
If you are in need of completing your high school health credit, the Spring 2 session of online Health begins March 19. If you would like to be enrolled in this class, you must fill out the form at this link by Friday March 9 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?fromEmail=true&formkey=dEJZNUFJWENFaTBlYW83cHBnNzdxcmc6MQ. You will be charged an extra $350 on your tuition bill for this class if you are not enrolled in a study hall, early dismissal or late arrival for the 2017-2018 school year. If you took Health in 8th grade here at Faith or have taken Health at Las Vegas Day School, Adelson, Cornerstone, Alexander Dawson or The Meadows in 7th or 8th grade, your high school Health requirement is already complete and you do not need this class. I’m sorry but CCSD middle school Health is not cleared to count for high school credit by the state. Contact Dan Buikema at buikemad@flhsemail.org if you have any questions. (3/9)
COMMUNITY CRUSADER SERVICE HOURS OPPORTUNITY:
CornerStone Christian Academy's 5K / 1 fundraiser is on March 10, 2013 at Bruce Trent park and they are looking for volunteers. The event day will open at 8 am. The 5K will begin at 9 am and the 1 mile walk will begin at 9:15 am. All finishers should be done by 10:30 am. Around 10:30 am we will begin our award ceremony (the 5k is timed and we have finisher medals) and the raffling of the class baskets.
We need 16-20 volunteers on the course directing the flow of the run and the water station. We would also love to have some entertainment on the course around the water station.
Packet pick up is Friday night at CornerStone from 4 pm - 7 pm. There will be a volunteers’ meeting at 7:15 pm on March 9th. I would like all volunteers to report to the park by 8 am on the 10th and in place no later than 8:45 am.
Any questions, please contact Macey Schoen at maceme99@yahoo.com

Accessing PSAT Scores
All the PSAT scores from the exam taken in October are now available. The breakdown of each section, including the correct answers as well as a personalized study plan from Khan Academy can be found on your College Board account at collegeboard.org. If you have not yet, you will need to create a College Board account in order to see your scores. The directions are below. Please, please, please...if you have already created an account do not create another, as this will severely complicate all dealings with College Board in the future, from SAT's to AP's to eventually sending scores to colleges. If you can't remember if you already have an account, please go through the "forgot my password" or "forgot my username" process to be certain. Any issues with accounts need to be directed to College Board rather than Faith Lutheran. Paper copies of scores will not be distributed as College Board no longer sends paper scores, however there will be test score interpretation assemblies during advisories in January for further information and to answer any questions.
- Go to collegeboard.org

- Go through the process of creating an account
- When done, sign in with your new username and password

DEVOTIONAL
What’s Slowing You Down?
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1
The Bible says, ‘Let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.’ What’s slowing you down, or tripping you up? In life, you only get to run once, so run to win. To avoid stumbling and losing your place in the race, don’t look back. You can’t change the past but you can learn from it. Don’t be anxious about the next lap, just focus on the next step. If you miss that, you may fall and not get up again. Keep going, and before you know it you’ll have more laps behind you than ahead of you. Make every one count. Many of us carry the weight and worry of burdens. But older and wiser people have come to understand their burdens are of no real importance. We waste our strength extinguishing fires that if left alone would burn out on their own. Time is your most valuable resource. Save it, and you’ve increased your assets and decreased your liabilities. Travel light. Ditch the baggage of self-sabotaging habits and pointless fears. There are enough painful trials in life; why endure the ones you can ‘strip off’? When blind Bartimaeus heard that Jesus was within reach, he threw off his coat so it wouldn’t trip him up, and ran towards Him. And his faith paid off: ‘Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus’ (Mark 10:52). You’ll never know how successful you can be until you get rid of the things that slow you down and trip you up.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me travel lighter and shed off some of the things that only weigh me down and keep me from looking forward. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
Heavenly Father, help me travel lighter and shed off some of the things that only weigh me down and keep me from looking forward. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
