Lancer Parent Association (LPA) is the parent group formed to connect with and support parents and guardians of all Churchill students. LPA is a great way to connect to CHS administration, to sports and clubs, and to other parents. LPA is free and open to any interested parent, guardian, or family member of a CHS student or any Churchill community member. We meet at 6:30 on the first Monday of each month in the library, except for September.
Here is the schedule for the fall:
September 15: Parent meeting with guests Principal Dennis Biggerstaff and Athletic Director Tim Carmichael
October 6: Parent meeting, no guest speaker
November 3: Parent meeting with guest Counselor Betsy Hoell on the Career Center and Scholarships
December 1: Parent meeting, no guest speaker
One of the LPA’s goals is to create community through communication. In addition to parent meetings, we also create an annual student directory. Parents who used last year’s directory have found it to be a very handy way to get in touch with other parents. These are for sale for $3-look for them in the back-to-school fee form included in the G'Lancer. If you purchase one using the fee form, it will be mailed to you when it is ready shortly after the beginning of the school year. Look for directories at the Open House in October as well. An opt-out form for the directory has been inserted into the back-to-school G'Lancer. It is very important to us that we do not include people who do not want to be included. Please complete the opt-out form if this is the case for you and return to the office by Friday, September 12, 2008.
In addition to the directory, LPA also provides an e-newsletter for parents. Subscribe to this informative bi-weekly e-mail by:
1) Send an e-mail to chslpaenews-subscribe@npogroups.org (nothing is required in the subject or body of the message).

Volunteer's Needed - Watering Dates for Friends of Cadojen Park Trees
Hello to friends of Cadojen Park!!
Since we've had such a wet spring, I've waited until now to contact
you for help with watering our 24 nice native trees. It was great to
have many of you help us plant these trees on sat march 29th. You'll
be glad to know that most of them are doing fine. Only a few of the
oak trees never leafed out, but the city said i can replant them in
the fall. I'll probably do this in November.
Below is a list of watering dates that I'd like 6 volunteers to help
out with each date. I'm hoping to get some contacts from the high
