The Lehigh Valley Christian High School Spring Choir Concert is on May 4 at St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Catasayqua. On that date, the winners of the Donna Draft Parris Memorial Music Scholarship will also be announced. Four scholarships (one per grade level) totaling $2,500 toward tuition will be presented for outstanding participation in the LVCHS music program, in honor of former music teacher, the late Donna Draft Parris.

The school choir will also be going on tour on May 14 to perform at two of our sending schools.

The LVCHS drama production of "Annie," performed this past weekend, was a big success. The opening and closing shows were both full houses. Students were extremely happy with the outcome of the show and were well rewarded for all of their hard work. LVCHS would like to thank the community and all of the parents who helped with the show and built the stage for our first-ever large musical production.

The sports teams are working very hard to finish the season that will soon come to a close. The track team has set numerous school and personal records. Student Rachel Loar says, "Track is one of my favorite things here at LVCHS. The coaches are very encouraging and all of my teammates are fun to work with and supportive of everything I do. We're like one big happy family." The track team has two regional meets coming up – one this week at Messiah College and one in Bangor on May 11.
