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.

DEVOTIONAL
Know Your Calling -
Then the LORD said to him, "What is that in your hand?" "A staff," he replied. Exodus 4:2
When God called Moses, one of the first questions He asked him was: ‘What is that in your hand?’ Moses was holding his shepherd’s staff - the one he used each day to lead and protect his sheep. But God had a different plan for it - a greater one! He used it to part the Red Sea and lead Israel into the Promised Land. When God asks you, ‘What is that in your hand?’ He wants you to think about your talents, experiences, relationships, education, resources, your mind and your temperament. Dr Martin Seligman talks about our ‘signature strengths’. They fall into six categories: 1) Wisdom and knowledge. These include things like curiosity, love of learning, sound judgement, and social intelligence. 2) Courage. This includes perseverance and integrity. 3) Humanity. The capacity for kindness, and the ability to express mercy. 4) Justice. The ability to bring about fairness and leadership. 5) Temperance. Qualities like self-control, prudence, and humility. 6) Transcendence. An appreciation for beauty, the expression of gratitude, the ability to hope, and the capacity for joy. We all have the capacity for each of these strengths, but the ones that resonate most deeply within you are your ‘signature strengths’. Once you identify these you begin to understand your calling. But be careful; the enemy wants to convince you that God can’t use you because of your weaknesses, when in fact the opposite is true. Who can speak to those who are grieving better than those who’ve suffered loss? Chuck Colson was the chief White House lawyer until Watergate. But only when he became a convict was he equipped to begin his ministry, Prison Fellowship. So, know your calling.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me focus on my calling and not my excuses. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
