Important Notes

During the Lenten season, I will not be assigning homework for Wednesday nights. Lenten services are a little late for doing homework as well. Achademic homework (reading stories and working through flash cards) is important, but one cant top having a rejuvenating, refreshing glass of Jesuss love through a Lenten service! We will be offering services on Wednesdays at 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. with a soup supper in between. I know during the middle of the week can be a busy time, but I have found its well worth it. Hope you can make it! Book orders will be coming home this week for March. Show your school spirit this week! Your child isnt required to dress-up, but the more we show our spirit the closer we will be to a trophy! Here is a review of dress up days: Monday Favorite Football Team Tuesday Fake an Injury Wednesday Dress up Thursday Circus Friday Green and Gold

Jesus Give Away

Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me! Psalm 66:20 What a privilege we have to pray to the Creator of the Universe, our Loving Father who hears our prayers (yes, rotten sinners though we are) and answers...not always in the way we want, but always in the way that is best for us and His Kingdom! Pray to him, wait patiently, and see what blessings he has prepared just for you! Joy in Jesus, Miss Luehring
