Newsletter for the week of April 23rd

April 23, 2019

Memory Work:

(The angel said), "Why do you seek the living among the dead?  He is not here, but has risen."  Luke 24: 5-6

Dear Parents,

He is risen!  He is risen indeed! What a glorious Easter weekend it was! I hope that all of you were able to join together with your families to celebrate. 

Our congratulations to Shayde and his family on the birth of baby Everly!  New babies are so exciting (and change the family routines so dramatically)!

Tomorrow, the second grade classes will be presenting chapel at Lutheran High School South.  We will leave school at 10:00, present chapel around 10:30, and then return to school.  If any parents would like to meet us at South, that would be fine. If your child has a speaking part, please help him/her to review it this evening.  Thank you. 

This week is an exciting week for the elementary students.  Thursday is our annual Grandparents’/Special Friends’ Day.  Any guests are welcome to join us in the morning.  The morning will start with coffee and fellowship in Friendship Hall.  There are two forty five minute sessions that grandparents may visit the classrooms.  If you have more than one child in the elementary building, the guests are welcome to divide their time among the students. The classroom activity times are 8:45 until 9:30 and 10:45 until 11:30. A chapel service will be held in between the two sessions at 9:45.  If the special guests would like to take their second grader to lunch off campus, they may do so at 11:30.  We are also offering a complementary lunch to those guests who would like to eat with us at 11:30 in the lunchroom.  Please be sure to have your child’s guests RSVP for that day, so that we know how many will be joining us. 

It is also the week for our operetta. There will be a dress rehearsal of the operetta at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, the 25th.  That evening we will be performing “Oh Chicken of Little Faith” at 7:00.  All students should be in their classrooms at 6:45 p.m. Second graders are asked to wear dark pants or skirts (jeans are okay, too) for the performance that evening.  Their special chicken shirts will be in the classroom for them to put on when they arrive.  Then, they may take the shirts home. You may add these shirts to your child’s Friday t-shirt collection. (We will have rehearsals for the operetta each afternoon, so there will probably not be any math homework this week.)

I would like for each child to bring in a copy of a favorite family recipe which he/she really enjoys.  I would like to have these recipes during the next couple of weeks.  The recipe may be emailed to me, photocopied or written on any type of paper.   I will return the original copies to you in a few weeks. 

            Thanks for reading.  Have a great week.

Yours in Christ,

Janet Leet
