Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.
1 Corinthians 12:4-6
Dear Parents,
L.E.S.T. is coming! In just one month, we will co-host this long-standing 5th-8th grade tournament with PLU. L.E.S.T. stands for the Lutheran Elementary School Tournament, which is attended by approximately 20 Lutheran schools from all over the Northwest and Northern California.
Originally a basketball tournament, L.E.S.T. was formerly hosted by Concordia University in Portland from 1962-2020. Now held at PLU in Tacoma, this unique tournament includes 15 individual or team events in sports, academics, music, drama, technology, robotics, dance, and art.
L.E.S.T. takes place during the President’s Day weekend (February 15-17). Students are not required to participate, but most of our middle school students and families are involved. This is an opportunity for everyone to support each other as we represent Concordia Christian Academy. I have a few decades of memories as an L.E.S.T. parent and coach, and I can say firsthand that this is an amazing experience.
I have included below a schedule of volunteers needed for this event. If you are the parent of a younger student, this is a great way to see parts of the tournament up close, before your student is old enough to compete. If you will be at the tournament to support your student, you may still be able to help out in some way. Please take a look and contact Libby Glasser if you can lend some time.
We appreciate your consideration as we look forward to this great event!
Blessings,
Sherrie Gibelyou

The Hawk-tion is our #1 fundraiser of the year. It generates money that assists Concordia in many ways and is always a fun time! This year’s Make a Difference will focus on a complete facelift for our very busy gymnasium (more details to come). Let’s make this auction the best yet!
If you would like to donate or help in any way, please contact Samantha Hanson.
