match in 3 ( 25-13, 18-25, 11-15). JVA defeated Pittsburg (25-22, 22-25, 25-23)! The Varsity girls lost in three (20-25, 17-

Arthur added 8 kills. The Ladycats will resume play in the Eustace tournament playing at 9 am vs. Mabank in the

Championship bracket.

-20, 21-25, 23-25). Our JVA team won in exciting fashion coming from behind in the 3rd set to win (15-25, 25-16, 25-20)!

Our varsity girls showed heart and fight in their 5 game match with Alba-Golden. We came up short, but very proud of

the effort the girls gave (26-24, 15-25, 25-23, 22-25, 12-15). We will be playing in the Groesbeck tournament this Friday

Positive Office Referrals!

Luke has been at Children’s Hospital since September

with numerous chemo treatments and recently just

received a bone marrow transplant.

Instead of Luke saying “why me?”, Luke is taking the

time to think of and help others by starting a charity

(#LUKESTRONG) to help families like his.

Luke is asking for NEW items to make care packages

to give to families when they find their “world turned

upside down” overnight. He wants to help them with

care packages since these families spend hours, days,

nights, weeks and even months inside hospitals.

Listed below are items that you can donate starting

Monday, February 12th and ending on Wednesday,

February 28th. There will be boxes in the office at

Story for students to drop these items off.

Devotional books

Small toys

Games

Books

Coloring book & crayons

Snacks

Disposable toothbrushes

Kids toothpaste

Lemon drops

On September 11, 2017, Luke

was diagnosed with Acute

Myeloid Leukemia. A trip to

the doctor for high fever,

coughing and an earache

turned his world upside down.

You never think this will

happen to your child.
