Spirit Week is Here!
Next week is spirit week! We will have dress up days each school day for elementary and secondary students. Students who do not wish to dress from head to toe (meaning more than just theme socks or shirts) are welcome to wear their uniforms those days. There will be special opportunities to win free dress day passes for the best costumes each day and each secondary student who dresses head-to-toe in theme earns points for their house. Houses will have a spirit banner competition on Thursday which will be displayed at the homecoming basketball games on Friday evening.
Come out to support the Knights Basketball teams playing at home on Friday, February 3.
JV Basketball starts at 5:00 pm
Varsity Basketball starts at 6:30 pm
There is no gate fee for attending home games. Wear your Knights gear or house shirts! Banner winners will be announced between games.
All costumes need to adhere to out of uniform guidelines:

Bailey McRay to the UK: Rummage Sale Dec. 3rd
Senior Bailey McRay went on the CLPS mission trip to England in May. She served the local church and a school in Norton, England tirelessly for nine days. During the trip she felt the Lord prompting her to return to England to continue the work. So, after graduation, Bailey will be doing a gap-year in England! Bailey needs to raise $18,500 for her expenses for the year as she serves a local church and local schools in an effort to share the love of Jesus.
To help Bailey get started, We are having a rummage sale here at CLPS on December 3rd. Bailey is willing to pick up donated items from your home! Let her know if you have items to donate or you would like to support her directly. baileymcray@clps.info
