Dear Eighth Grade Parents and students,

We are still collecting for the 2024 class gift.  If you are interested in donating, please have those donations to school by May 24.

Servant Day is May 28.  Pizza order forms for lunch that day are due May 22.

End-of-Year School Picnic: This year Track and Field Day is scheduled for Thursday May 30th.  The picnic will include a hot dog, watermelon, chips, bottled water and a dessert.  To plan for the picnic you will need to sign-up and pay for lunch.  Parents who will be here at school that day are encouraged to join us.  Each lunch will cost $2.00.  Additional hot dogs can be purchased for $1.00 each.  Please note, this lunch is not in conjunction with the lunch program, so payment must be included with each lunch order. Please fill out the lunch slip that went home with your child earlier this week, and send it back to school by Tuesday, May 21st.  

Grades K-8 students will sing on SUNDAY, May 19 one last time in worship this school year. They will sing “Holy Spirit the Dove Sent From Heaven” (LSB 725 St. 1-2)  for Pentecost.
