January 20, 2023 By Izzy This week we had the day off on Monday because of Martin Luther King Junior Day. On Tuesday we had the 4th-8th grade spelling bee. It was a good match up with some amazing spellers . That morning we also went into the church to practice for chapel. On Wednesday, we got to lead the school in worship. Strings played beautifully during offering and we found out about our new offering mission to buy supplies for kids in India. On Thursday we played basketball in PE! It was so much fun. On Friday we started a new art project where we are drawing trees. This week was super fun and I can’t wait for next week and it’s dress-up days. AUCTION NEWS! Thanks to Alex's mom for a great idea on a Book Lover's "basket". This
will be a combined donation from both of the 6th grade classses. We
are buying this fun bookshelf and a few middle level books.  We will add things like gift cards to Barnes and Noble, Target, Scholastic, coffee shops, along with a cozy blanket, pillow, etc. We hope to sweeten the item by including a Kindle, so Mrs. Donner will be collecting monetary donations through Venmo or you can send cash or gift cards in to Mrs. R. Mrs. Donner's Venmo is Jennifer-Ann-14. If you are able to help, please send gift cards or monetary donations BY FRIDAY, FEB 10. Thanks for helping make this a fun item to bid on!! MONDAY will be a MOVIE DAY!! We kick off Lutheran Schools Week with MOVIE DAY watching the film version of the play we read in Literature. The Phantom Tollbooth. We will have popcorn or kids can bring in a peanut-free snack and drink (soda allowed) to enjoy during the movie.
JH Winter Dance (repeat) The 2023 Winter Dance theme is “Turn Back the Clock”! The dance is scheduled for Friday, February 3 from 7:00 to 9:30 pm. The entry fee is five dollars per person, and if a student is dropped off, they cannot be picked up before the dance is over. Expect your student to “turn back the time” and wear an appropriate costume from the past (decades’ day) or wear jeans and a nice shirt. There are going to be teachers taking pictures, snacks, and music playing. Make sure that your student knows to be dropped off in front of the commons, the actual dance takes place in the gym, and that the doors will be open by seven.
