Second grade teacher Margaret Johnson and her family are on their way to Disneyland thanks to the generous donations of Forest Lake families and friends. This Make-a-Wish trip was planned to encourage the Johnson family as Margaret has battled cancer throughout the past year. Margaret’s unwavering faith in God’s sovereignty throughout this trial has been an example for us all. Say “Hi” to Mickey for us.

This past weekend the Chamber and Men’s Chamber choirs embarked on a trip to Santa Clara to participate in the Music in the Parks Choral Festival. After checking into their hotel Friday afternoon, the students donned their choir apparel and proceeded to Milpitas High School where they performed several songs and were adjudicated. After performing, the hungry students invaded a local Hometown Buffet for some good eats and then heading back to the hotel for some rest and relaxation.
Saturday was a very fun day for the choirs. They had the treat of being able to spend the day at Great America enjoying the rides and attractions. Some students braved the rollercoasters, others frequented the carousel, a courageous few graced the karaoke stage - all had fun. The awards ceremony for Music in the Parks was held in the theme park that afternoon, whereupon the choirs found that they had received…

Apprentice Day 2009 was a wonderful success. The overall winner of the event was the team “Got Caffeine?” which raised an astonishing $1,000 through their sales of energy drinks, frappuccinos, and iPod Touch raffle tickets. All of the seniors did a fantastic job of putting together their different “restaurants” and selling their wares to the hungry students, parents, and faculty. It was an effective, hands-on way of teaching the seniors important economic principles. Not only was it a fun educational experience, but it was also a lucrative one. All the profits earned from this project were pooled together and the earnings totaled $3,675.88! A small portion of this money will be used to help pay for the travel expenses of this year’s Spiritual Emphasis Week speaker. The majority of the profit will be donated to various families from Forest Lake that are in need. One of the great motivators for…
Economics and fun, these words are not often paired, but the seniors of Forest Lake will show on Tuesday, March 17th that the two walk hand in hand when it comes to Apprentice Day. The Apprentice Day project is run by the Economics teacher, Mr. Lidbeck, and is designed to teach the seniors the many concepts and activities that go into running a business. The seniors have been split into teams of four or five each and have been working hard this past month to put together “restaurants” for the Apprentice Day event on Tuesday, where they will sell their wares to hungry junior high and high school students. Pasta, pizza, French fries, salads, wraps, milk shakes, pizookies, brownies, popcorn, and many more delicious food items will be for sale that day. (Consequently, the student store will be closed.) All the proceeds from this event will go to hire a…

The 54 – 46 win pushed them to Arco Arena where they will defend the section title against Bradshaw Christian. Forest Lake Christian Falcons will be tipping off on Friday at 5:30 at Arco Arena.
Congratulations to our boy’s varsity basketball team. Last Friday, the boy’s

League title. This league championship was particularly special as our
league is packed with very competitive teams. In fact three out of the top
four seeded teams in the playoffs are members of the Central Valley
Christian League. Forest Lake posted an 8-3 pre-season record and was 10-2
in league play.

Valley Christian League. Senior teammates Matt Masterson, Johnny Umamoto,
and Dawson Young were named to the second team. Additionally, Coach David
Thomas was recognized by his peers as the League’s Coach of the Year.
If you have not had the opportunity to watch our team in action they begin
the defense of their 2008 Sac-Joaquin Section title this very night at home.
The game time is 7:00 p.m. If they win tonight they will play again at home
