SPECIAL EVENTS

It was wonderful to host in-person special events for our families and the Lexington community.

PATRIOT DAY CHAPEL

LCA 6th Grade Academy and Junior High students hosted special Patriot Day Chapels to remember and honor the 20th anniversary of 9/11. The chapels included students narrating a presentation showing the timeline of events of that day and having a special prayer. Matt Ginter, former MLB pitcher, LCA parent and a current assistant coach for the LCA Baseball team, was the guest speaker. Ginter was in New York City on the morning of 9/11 since the Chicago White Sox were scheduled to play the New York Yankees that night. He and other members from the team had planned to be at the World Trade Center area the morning of 9/11, but they overslept. He described being in NYC that day and answered several questions from students about the events and what it was like in the days that followed

Our 6th-12th grade student ambassadors did a fantastic job of welcoming and giving tours to guests at our Rose Campus open house.
