This Sunday
K-8th Grade Choir
The K-8 th  grade choir will be singing at the  10:30 am service  on  Sunday, Jan 13.
  We will meet in the sanctuary at 10:10am where we will warm up. They will be singing during the beginning of the 10:30 am service. Students will be released to parents after they sing. Please remember that this is a required performance.  If you have a conflict, a parent must call me or the absence will not be excused and will affect your student’s grade.   If you have any questions, feel free to call Kristin Wrolstad at (920)248-6461. God’s blessings and we will see you January 13th!

AR CHALLENGE
The first – eighth graders are participating in an AR National Challenge that begins on January 28. Any elementary LCMS school in the United States and Canada that is presently using the Accelerated Reader program may enter the contest. LCMS elementary schools from California all the way up to Alaska are participating. Students that are participating must be independent readers.
The purpose of this challenge is to provide an incentive and motivation for our children at Lutheran schools to read more, get smarter, and have fun. Reading for this contest can occur anywhere the children are – at home, at school, in the car, etc. All reporting of points will be done by each school’s coordinator via the AR Challenge web site. Mrs. Baker is our school AR coordinator. Each week she will be responsible for reporting the total points that each grade level/division has earned.
Last year we took FIRST place overall. This year Ms. Gromowski challenges us to take FIRST place again. We can do this, students. Get reading!
2nd Quarter Chapel Offerings
Last week

With only 1 more week to go, the 6th grade has finished strong and arrived in Uganda! Way to go 6th grade! The rest of the classes are close behind and it will be a tight race for 2nd place. With more than $800 already raised for this great mission, we are hoping to break $1000 with a big push next week! Let's get everyone to Africa! (Check out our flight path on the wall of the Fellowship Hall for updates.)
