CAMPUS PREVIEW

At Linfield we seek to partner with parents to write extraordinary stories of courage and faith into the lives of our students, and we invite you to share these stories with your friends and family in the community.

Special Drawing:

Refer an eligible* family to Linfield's upcoming Campus Preview on Sunday, November 17 at 2:00 p.m.; if they attend, you will be entered into a drawing for an HP Chromebook or 4 Disneyland tickets (winner's choice)!

To enter, simply e-mail the name of the family you referred to bswanson@linfield.com no later than 12:00 p.m. on November 17. You will receive one entry for each referred family that attends. You can also let your Facebook friends know by clicking here to go to the Campus Preview event page and then selecting share.

MEXICO HOUSE BUILD

For the third year in a row, a team of LCHS students and faculty will be partnering with Baja Bound to build a home for a family outside of Ensenada, Mexico. Are you interested in going? There are 45 spots available on a first come/first serve basis. Click here for additional information and see Miss Young or Mrs. Guthrie for permission slips.

We also need your help! Our goal is to fundraise the cost of the building supplies for the house ($6375) and transportation ($2000) as to minimize the cost of the trip for each student. Please contact Amber Young to learn more. We also covet your prayers as we prepare to bless our Mexican brothers and sisters in Christ!
