  • Chapel Offering: This month’s chapel offerings support Journey’s Lutheran School. Journey’s is a unique school found south of the Milwaukee area. Journeys is unique because it provides quality education for children with learning difficulties in a Lutheran school environment. Their staff is trained, experienced, and equipped to guide and teach students with learning difficulties such as ADD/ADHD, anxiety disorders, Autism spectrum, Behavioral disorders, intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, sensory disorders, and more. They provide special programs, small class sizes, a tailored curriculum, and a place to belong.
  • March Reading Logs: These will not be due until after spring break. Students should try to read for at least 20 minutes each day. If they turn in their reading log in at the end of the month they will receive a gift certificate to Eaton’s pizza and a small prize.
