20th Year Celebration with the Shy Boys | June 5, 2015
Last year’s 20-year celebration provided a wonderful
opportunity to formally celebrate God’s faithfulness at
Lighthouse since 1994. The foundation of a solid beginning
and a focused future launch Lighthouse into an exciting
phase as we, guided by our Strategic Plan, look toward the
next 20 years.
Lighthouse has flourished because of those who
have generously invested their time, talent and treasure.
Keeping tuition as affordable as possible, for as many
families as possible, while also retaining fabulous staff and
strengthening our program, is a fine balance.
Strong stewardship and financial prudency have led
to a $1 million debt reduction fund to be applied to our
$2.7 million balance when our building note comes due
this March. In the process, the Board has also kept staff
compensation competitive, provided $170,000 to 39
families through Tuition Assistance for 2015-16 school year,
and strengthened our core program. Overall test scores
remain in the top 20 percent in the nation and our alumni
continue to thrive in diverse settings. Facility care and
maintenance also remain a top priority, providing a clean,
safe and nurturing environment for our students and our
families.
Thank you for partnering with us. Together, we are
building the future leaders of our community and impacting
the world for Christ.

Strategic Plan: 2013-2023
Strategic planning: Year Two
The desired fruit of the Strategic Planning process is to see our graduates, year
after year, leave Lighthouse well-prepared for the future, having achieved their
academic potential, developed servant hearts to help in the local and global
community, and cemented strong personal relationships with Jesus. Following
is year one of our progress along the path:
OBJECTIVE 1: Student exhibits personal Commitment to Christ
• Revised the admission process to build parental commitment to Christ at the
center through the administrative interview process and focus on LCS core
values and mission.
• Implemented a Christian counseling program
• Introduced the mentorship program in Middle School – adopting a small group
format with adult mentors and Middle School students.
OBJECTIVE 2: Employees fully engaged
• Developed an engagement survey to determine a baseline, set a goal for
compensation and benefits and established priorities moving forward.
• Enhanced focus on: Commitment, Collaboration and Competence as a means
of evaluating staff.
OBJECTIVE 3: Students’ learning needs will be met Implemented standardized formative assessment tool (AIMSWEB) as a gauge for
determining student baseline and progress throughout the year.
OBJECTIVE 3A: Technology integrated throughout school
• Fourth and Fifth grade teachers, along with Middle School core subject
teachers, have all received iPads and implementation training
• E-curriculum has been evaluated and purchased for Middle School
implementation
• Beyond Technology Education continues under the guidance of Lisa Creekmore
OBJECTIVE 4: Engaging extra-curricular programs
• A team has been created to identify “holes” in LCS extracurricular program and
prepare a plan for enhancement during the 2014-15 school year.
• After school care will have a new look and feel
OBJECTIVE 4A: Develop a facility plan
• Our Master Facility plan focuses on growth, maintenance and on-going
improvements.
• SchoolDude software has been implemented to manage our maintenance and
facility usage
OBJECTIVE 5: Grow to full enrollment
The new Admissions position now includes a marketing emphasis and enhanced
communication with local pre-schools.
OBJECTIVE 5A: Financial Stability
Driven by the Strategic Plan and the Master Facility Plan, the Development
department is working on a major gifts emphasis, helping LCS to achieve the goals
set out in the long range plan and meeting growing needs.

The LCS Math Lab was
created to bring more handson learning opportunities into
the current curriculum, boost
critical thinking and problem
solving skills and, ultimately
get kids EXCITED about math.
The success of the Math Lab,
in my opinion, is evident in
the happy cheers I’m greeted
with when I roll my cart into
the classrooms. After a lesson
on equivalent fractions using
hands-on fraction tiles, a
fourth grader enthusiastically

thanked me ‘for letting us do
this.’

New parent orientation also now includes small group meetings which share the
heart of the Lighthouse mission, history, the role of volunteers and the need for
fundraising to help fill the gap between operating costs and tuition.

Making A Difference
Year after year fundraising remains an important piece of the financial model at Lighthouse. Tuition is intentionally set
to make Lighthouse Christian School accessible for a broad range of families and covers nearly 85% of the Lighthouse
operating budget.
Thanks to generous hearts and broad-based participation, the model works well at Lighthouse, promoting stewardship
and making the school accessible for more families. Without the benefit of state and federal funding, we rely on the
financial support of parents, faculty, and friends.
Legacy Builders
There are several ways families can help to support the Lighthouse Mission:
Legacy Builders – Sustainable funding is a critical element in the future of Lighthouse.
The Legacy program provides an opportunity to invest in Lighthouse – for greatest
needs – by making a multi-year commitment. The focus is to enable long-term
planning for critical budget needs such as teacher compensation, program needs,
facility needs, debt reduction and tuition assistance. Now in its seventh year, the Legacy
Builders program has raised more than $2 million over the life of the program which
includes 76 Legacy Builder members and generous, year over year, one-time donors.
Annual Auction - While many schools place requirements on families for volunteer
hours, auction donations, and procurement values, Lighthouse has been blessed over
the years by non-mandated/joyful giving. Providing a sponsorship, donating an item,
coordinating a basket, or helping procure an item from a friend or family member helps
us create an amazing event together.
Annual Auction
Annual Fund “Quest for Excellence” – It is the combined gifts – of all shapes and
sizes – that makes the difference in our ability to provide affordable quality Christian
education. With a goal of 100% participation by board, staff and families through either
the Quest for Excellence or the Legacy Builders program, annual operating needs are
met while striving to keep tuition at an affordable level for a broad range of families.
Scrip – Scrip is a national program which enables parents and friends to purchase
gift cards to merchants they already frequent – and bless schools in the process by
providing a percentage back. While the rates vary by retailer, there are hundreds of
options to choose from. Some inventory for local favorites is kept on hand for easy
purchase, while others can be ordered within a matter of days. This is an easy way to
contribute, with no additional cost to you!
Did You Know?
That by simply designating Lighthouse as your recipient,
rebates will accumulate from retailers such as:
> Target Red Card Take Charge of Education -
Target will donate up to 1% of your REDcard purchases at Target stores in the U.S.
and via their website.
> Amazon Smile When you shop at Amazon, they will donate to your selected charitable
organization – including Lighthouse!
> Safeway online
And…
> Thrivent Financial for Lutherans – allows members to designate Lighthouse
> United Way – workplace campaigns can include Lighthouse as a designation
through United Way
> Matching Gifts Programs are available through many large corporations.
