We are starting the first full week of November, and we will be engaging in a variety of activities throughout the month that focus on the power of gratitude. We feel incredibly lucky to be working with passionate staff, talented students, dedicated families, and a supportive community.
Our first round of Crusader Cards were distributed last Friday and today. We are so excited to have many businesses in the community offering incentives to students. We are thankful for their partnership in celebrating and recognizing student achievement.
Crusader Cards
- What is a Cru Card? Crusader Cards represent a system for recognizing and rewarding students as they pursue excellence and growth. They give us a tangible way of letting students know "we see you."
- How do students get a Cru Card? Cru Cards are earned using a tiered system that calculates points for each student based on their current quarter GPA, attendance, and behavior. Bonus points are given for things such as club/sport participation and teacher shout-outs. Different levels include white, black, silver, and gold.
- What can students do with their Cru Card? Different incentives are awarded for each level. Incentives include discount coupons for local stores, entry into raffles, homework extensions, tardy passes, and much, much more! Some of our partners have provided coupons that students will use to receive their reward. These coupons will be distributed later this week. Specific details and guidelines for using the various incentives can be viewed by scanning the QR code on the Cru Card.
- When are Cru Cards given out? A new set of Cru Cards is distributed at the end of each quarter. The incentives available for each Cru Card are effective throughout the quarter after the marking period in which they were earned (ie., Q1 Cru Card incentives are valid through Q2). Students should treat their Cru Card like a gift card; replacement cards will not be provided.
Holiday Help
Our National Honor Society is looking for LCN families that need some assistance this holiday season. Students are working on adopting families to provide some extra cheer to the children under 17 years old in the household. Please reach out to Ms. Kelly at kellyda@lc-ps.org or 586-493-5270 ext.1206 by November 9th if your family would like to receive some help this holiday season. Space for this program is limited, so families will be considered on a first come first serve basis. All family information will be kept confidential.
