From Our Superintendent, Merida Brooks
And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times. You, LORD, will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked, who freely strut about when what is vile is honored by the human race. Psalm 12:6-8
We must not forget...

Do Hard Things Conference
 We are excited about the Do Hard Things Tour, a one-day Christian Teen Conference that's coming to Baton Rouge! Westminster is underwriting the cost for all of our students in grade levels 7-12 to attend this Conference. WCA will even be providing buses to get us there! The only cost to students will be the price of their lunch.
|
Visit their website www.therebelution.com/conference and let us know what you think. The Rebelution is defined as "a teenage rebellion against the low expectations of adolescence." Both parents and teens need to hear this message!
We would love for parents to register and attend with their teens, but if your teen needs a ride to Baton Rouge on October 15th for this Conference, please click here to register today!

Opelousas 3rd Grade Show & Tell
There's nothing like wonderful Show and Tell opportunities to make lasting elementary school memories. The third grade students in Mrs. Goudeau's class learned how to create Dippin' Dots! The class was a little disappointed to learn that it takes six hours for the dots to freeze, however, they enjoyed a Dippin' Dots lunch treat the next school day.
For their next Show and Tell opportunity, Emmerson Lyons' father, Barrett, brought a donkey and her baby. The students from both Mrs. Goudeau's class and Mrs. Lamke's class enjoyed being able to run and play with the baby donkey.

Lafayette Chapel
Mrs. Keller spoke to the 3rd and 4th grade students in a September 2011 chapel about the impact of their words upon others. We can use our words to serve up a delicious gourmet meal of encouragement, kindness, and edification for "LIFE", or a putrid meal of garbage with unkind words, criticism, making fun, selfishness for "DEATH."
Students were challenged to listen to the words that they use and ask the following questions: Are your words building others up or tearing them down? Are your words considerate of others or "having fun at someone else's expense?" Remember, you will reap what you sow; therefore, choose your words wisely in order to be a source of blessing to others.

 Crusader Football
Congratulations to the football team for their win against Ville Platte in a wet, but exciting game on September 2nd.
The Westminster Crusader football team dropped a tough 28-7 decision to the Port Barre Red Devils in a game played Thursday night. Tyler Louviere scored the only 'Sader touchdown of the night on a nine yard run in the second quarter. WCA played hard and gave a great effort, but in the end, Port Barre made the plays when it had to and came out with the win.
Next week, we are on the road against Loreauville on Friday night at 7:00 p.m.
