Spring Play

On February 24-25, the Fine Arts Department delighted the audiences with three presentations of Pride and Prejudice. The cast of secondary students rehearsed for six weeks in preparation for the play. Based on the classic book by Jane Austen, the play is set in rural England at the turn of the 19th century and tells the tumultuous love story between the spirited Elizabeth Bennett and aristocratic Fitzwilliam Darcy.

Pickleball Tournament

On Saturday, March 4, Lakeland Christian School hosted 130 pickleballers for the Inaugural Viking Paddle Battle. The covered pavilion and outdoor basketball courts were converted into six pickleball courts, and participants competed in four divisions: Male, Female, Mixed Doubles and Elementary. The tournament raised approximately $13,000 for the LCS Viking Fund.

Thanks to our major sponsors: Sweet Life Farms, Patterson Companies, Roggen Clyne Development, Tiger Contracting, Burnetti PA and Chick-fil-A.

Elementary Olympics

In early March, students in K4-5th grade competed in the softball throw, obstacle course, hurdles, sprints, relays and more. Members of the senior class helped time and score the events. Thanks to Coach Mike Carl, Coach John Weldy and Coach Beverley Reves for running another great year of competition!
