From the Principal:

Greetings in the name of Christ,

What an exciting week at school! If you didn’t notice it, we were in the Sentinel on Thursday. Be sure to take a look! Baseball and Softball players finished their regional games. Pee Wee Basketball practices started. Our Yankee Candle Fundraiser was a great success. Pastor Jennings from Ferrin presented our chapel service this week. On Thursday, each of our Prayer Families met together in the gym and prayed using Prayer Dominoes. Our 7th and 8th grade students are designing their own personal service projects. Some of them are choosing to work on the Prayer Garden and School Beautification Project. Mums, daisies, and decorative millet were planted on the South Side of the school. Thank you, Ray and Melodie Ainslie for coordinating this service project. We are all excited about working on our National Lutheran Schools Accreditation committees. If you want to be involved, we can still use some extra volunteers. Our first meeting is Sunday after the congregational picnic. Everyone is invited to attend the picnic! Thank you for supporting our school and its students.

Blessings on your week,

Mrs. Boester

WE FOSTER EDUCATION

Walking in the Word: On Wednesday mornings, we are walking in the gym during our staff devotion time from 7:30 to 8:00 am.

If you want to join us, please sign up by calling the school office or stopping in. See you on Wednesday!

School Chapel Mission: During August and September, we are collecting money for the Centralia Crisis Pregnancy Center which provides support to expecting and new mothers.
