Dear Parents,

            This week we begin the church season of Lent.  At our chapel service this Wednesday, the students will have the opportunity to receive ashes.  Parents are invited  to join us for chapel.  All of our CCLS congregations have services on Wednesdays during Lent.  Here at Webster Gardens, the services are at 3:45 and 6:30.  There is a Lenten meal served between the two services.  During Lent, we will have inside pick up at the end of the day on Wednesdays, because the parking lot becomes very busy. 

Thanks to Ben, Alli, Mitchell and William for representing CCLS at the LHSS Scholar Bowl this weekend. They all did a great job. 

            This is the last week of the third quarter. (Unbelievably!!)  That means that several things need to be turned in this week.  All service project sheets should be turned in this week.  Also, please send in your church and Sunday School attendance sheet for this quarter.  The report cards will come home to you on Friday, March 15^th.

            Friday, March 8^th, is a Casual for a Cause Day. The elementary students are asked to bring toothpaste, sharpened pencils and pencil sharpeners (without the container to catch the shavings) for Mrs. Killian and the mission team to take on their upcoming trip to Uganda.  An email was sent last Friday with the list of items that are needed. Dr. Killian will be purchasing medications once the team arrives in Africa, so cash donations are welcome as well.  (suggested amounts of $2.00 or more) 

            The March book orders are due back on or before next Monday, March 11th.  You may order the books on line at www.scholastic.com/parentordering.  Let me know if you would like for me to keep any of the books aside for gifts.

 God’s blessings on your week! 

Yours in Christ,

Janet Leet
