Congratulations to our top three fundraisers for our Volleyball Serve-a-thon! We raised $3,201 which went towards DPL volleyball fees for our team and also a new volleyball net. We are truly grateful to all of our sponsors who support our athletics program and especially our Booster Club members.
Our students teamed up against drugs today and wore their favorite sports team shirts.
We kicked off Red Ribbon Week at JLCCS by dresming big and staying drug free with pajama day!
JLCCS celebrated their 50th day of school last week and students dressed up like it was the 1950's.
Begin your week with grace, peace, and the Eucharist. Join us at church this Sunday and let God’s Word strengthen your soul. “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” — Matthew 18:20
Our fourth and fifth grade students were able to go on a field trip with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) this week. Students were able to go on-site to the large-scale wetlands water reuse project near Richland-Chambers Lake. The wetlands project treats water from the Trinity River to supplement TRWD's water supply, while TPWD manages the surrounding property for recreation and wildlife habitat. This project diverts water from the Trinity River into a 2,022-acre constructed wetland to naturally filter it. The polished water is then pumped into Richland-Chambers Reservoir to provide a supplementary raw water supply.
This allows TRWD to extend water resources for a growing population, while the wetlands provide flood control and enhance wildlife habitat. Our students loved being able to investigate the water samples to learn more about the organisms living in the wetlands.

Our 1st graders had the sweetest lesson!
After reading If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, our students rolled up their sleeves and baked their own delicious cookies. Learning is even better when it smells like freshly baked treats!

We’re headed to the playoffs! Our JV volleyball team has worked hard, played with heart, and trusted in God every step of the way. Let’s keep the momentum going and bring that same energy to the court in our upcoming playoff game. Go Bears! “I have the strength for everything through him who empowers me.” — Philippians 4:13
Our runners gave it their all at our last cross country meet! We’re so proud of their dedication, perseverance, and team spirit. Every stride was a reflection of their hard work and faith. “Let us run with perseverance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus.” — Hebrews 12:1–2
Sunday is here — a day to rest, rejoice, and renew our hearts in the Lord. Let’s gather as one family in faith. See you at Mass today! “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice in it and be glad.” — Psalm 118:24
Our student altar servers feel blessed to be able to serve the church when needed. Two of our altar servers recently served during the blessing of emergency responders during the school day.

Our 4-H students are doing great things! At our last general meeting, we hosted officer elections and focused on public speaking skills. Additionally, our Food Challenge teams have been practicing for their competition on Monday. We wish all 7 teams the best of luck!
Students at JLCCS partnered with Corsicana Fire Rescue this past week as firefighters came to campus to teach students about fire safety. Students were able to learn about fire hazards and best practices to stay safe including having a family meeting place and closing their room doors before going to bed. In addition, students participated in active learning through a simulation that included fire hazards.
Let Your Light Shine!
