7th Weekly Update

Christ Our Builder 

Updates

Throughout January, look for many opportunities to support our teams and volunteer at tournaments, celebrate St. Paul through Lutheran Schools Week, and participate alongside your son or daughter in Student-Led Conferences (see the sign-up link in the calendar below).   

Student-Led Parent-Teacher Conferences:  Thank you to all who have signed up already for a conference time.  I so look forward to working together as we hear the perspectives of our students and those who care deeply about them, recognizing areas of growth and setting next steps for further growth as a whole child.  If you still need to sign up for a spot, it looks like Thursday is pretty full, but there are some early morning spots available on Friday. Your son or daughter will be thrilled. 🙂  Here’s the link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050A4BADA728A1FF2-54286970-mrs#/ 

K - 8 sings in church on Sunday, January 26th, beginning our celebration of National Lutheran Schools’ Week.   The song, “My Jesus,” is one of both comfort -- He is “my Jesus,” and commitment to see the needs of others -- “Let me tell you about my Jesus, and let my Jesus change your life.”  He truly is the answer.   https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n6HUP3_fWpxWs7trdeOjU3uGIjUMubHe/view?usp=drive_link  

Note from our Panther Parents:

The St Paul Panther Parents are once again hosting a student sticker design contest! The contest will start this week.  Designs are due 1/23 & will then be displayed and voted on during Lutheran Schools Week, 1/27-1/31.

Any student in 6th 7th, and 8th grade can participate. Design squares will be handed out to those homeroom classes, students can take a couple of sheets if needed, but only 1 submission will be allowed per 6th-8th Grade student. I've attached the design squares sheet in this email as well. Participation is optional.

If we receive more than 10 entries, the top 10 designs will be voted on by all students during lunch the week of Lutheran Schools Week. The top 2 designs will be announced at the end of that week. 

The rules:  Design must-

1. Be appropriate
2. Be promoting/tie in St Paul with either school colors, school name, mascot, etc. 
3. Be hand drawn, no computer printed designs. 
4. Colored pencils or markers can be used. 

Each winner will receive a certificate with their design on it and 2 of the stickers, and both of the winning designs will be printed and for sale at the school store.

Forms for the sticker contest were sent home last week.  Thank you, Panther Parents, for hosting this! 🙂
