ANNOUNCEMENTS
Our chapel project this semester is to support the family of a future pastor in the LCMS.
Our seminarian is Tyler Martin. He is married and has a little girl. Abby is 14 months old and loves mail! We are going to make her some cards throughout the year, as well as write letters to Tyler and his wife.
We would like to collect some small Christmas gifts to send to the family. Gift cards are a great idea. Abby loves all things soft, anything related to animals, and flipping through books.
If you choose to buy a Christmas gift for this family, please wrap it, put their name on it, and get it to the school office.
Thank-you!
Please go SLOW when driving in our parking lot.

Auction Reminders!
★ Family photos are due by December 1st
★ Thank you to everyone who has brought in your packet so far. If you have not already contacted the businesses assigned to you, please do that as soon as possible. If you have contacted them and have not heard back from them, please just touch base with us and keep us updated. If you would like more businesses to contact, please reach out to Amy Heinz and she can get more for you. Thank you all for your help in making this year's auction a success!
Protect Young Eyes (PYE) is an organization that strives to create safer digital spaces for your family.
I highly encourage you to visit their website protectyoungeyes.com/ and sign up for their Digital Trends email newsletter. The digital world can be quite scary and we want to ensure that our families are up to date on the latest trends so that they can stay safe!
We would like to schedule a parent presentation and maybe some student talks as well. It is quite expensive - please let the office know if you would be interested in attending. The presentation is very much worth the cost, but we need to know that people will show up.
Returnables
Our returnables shed is empty! If you don't want to take your bottles back, drop them off in the shed at school and our youth will take them back for you! They use these as a fundraiser to help with the Alaska mission trip as well as the 7th & 8th grade class trip. Thank-you for your support!
