Walk with Grace, our annual walk-a-thon fundraiser, is only two weeks away. We use an easy platform for requesting pledges from family and friends. This weekend would be a great time to set up your Pledgestar account and begin requesting those pledges for the walkathon. One goal is to have 100% of our students receive at least one pledge of $25. We have never made this goal.
Will you help us achieve it this year?
All of the information you need can be found on our school home page.

There is also more information in this email, below the weekly calendar. Thanks for your support!

BOX TOPS UPDATE!!!
You are probably aware of the BoxTops program by now as it’s been going strong since 1996. Fun Fact, since the Box Top program began, Grace Lutheran School has earned
$10,396.66 and counting! That’s over $10,000 of FREE money! And you can help us earn more every day by simply cutting box tops from your favorite Box Tops products, or scanning your grocery label with the new Box Top App. That’s right, Box Tops is going digital! Check out this link for a simple informational video about this new program.

Don’t know if you purchased any Box Tops items at the store? Scan your receipt anyway…. the app will automatically detect your box tops and credit the school with that money. Have questions? Contact Esther Armstrong (
