What a Wild Week!

This certainly was a busy week for us!  I have a few pictures that I will share with you from our fun Lutheran Schools Week.  But, that will be in a separate post coming sometime this weekend!  Enjoy the weekend!

The Second Grade Standard

Our Shepherd Lutheran School

Friday, January 30, 2015

Lutheran Schools Week … What a week we had!  It was exciting, exhausting & educational!  Thank you for choosing to send your child to our school!

Hearts for Jesus is now INSPIRE! … This year’s February INSPIRE offerings, formerly known as Hearts for Jesus, will be going toward “A Ban Against Neglect (ABAN).”  This organization helps women and their babies who are living on the streets of Accra, Ghana.  ABAN gives training & safe shelter to these women so that they may become independent.  Each child came home with an offering envelope & a card giving more information and a website where you can learn more about this worthy cause.

Auction Donation … Please have all auction money donations in to me by Wednesday, February 4^th so that I can start gathering items for the basket.

Retirement Celebration … Please join us this weekend as we celebrate the Retirement of Mrs. Carolynn Hilsinger and Mrs. Sue Kowitz.  Mrs. Hilsinger left us at the end of last school year and Mrs. Kowitz will be with us through the end of this year, but we want to wish them well.  They will both be recognized for their years of service at the 11:00 service with a nice reception preceding the 11:00 service (9:30-11:00) in the Narthex.

Valentines Party … We will be having our Valentine’s Party on Friday, February 13^th beginning at 2:30.  We and by “we” I mean I, like to keep parties very low-key!  If students would like to bring in their own box to collect Valentines – they may do so!  However, there will be an opportunity for students to decorate a bag before the party.  I have included a list of student names at the end of the newsletter.  A sign up email will be sent next week.  Thanks!
