8th Grade Eagles in Action for April
Donate Shoes
We accept all types of footwear including:
GYM SHOES
SANDALS
BOOTS
ALL SIZES
MEN’S
WOMEN’S
CHILDREN’S
ANY KIND
ANY BRANDS
GENTLY WORN
The shoes are going to people who may have never even owned a pair. It’s important that these shoes are in
good
condition to respect the dignity of those receiving them. Shoes older than five years old decompose, even if they were never worn.
So please: be respectful with your donations, understand that our goal is to provide good, clean shoes to those in need. For example, tennis shoes should include laces and not have holes. We
discard
any old overly worn shoes!
Over 3 million pairs of shoes delivered in 19 years.
No Boundaries. No Borders.
Boxes are located near the Narthex
and School Office.
Contact Mrs. Hull -r.hull@sjlagrange for any questions.

FUNDRAISER WRAP-UP
Congratulations! Thanks to your efforts, we not only met, but exceeded our fundraising goal! Our goal was to sell $2500 worth of merchandise, of which St. John’s Lutheran would earn 50%. Instead,
we sold $3,389 in merchandise, so earned $1,694!
This money will be used to support special events for our students and families.
Thank you to
EVERYONE
who participated in this fundraiser! A special “shout-out” to the following families for selling over $200 worth of merchandise: Wozniak and Preussner; and to the Bertels, Johnson, Roberts, Rittenhouse, Hast, Hemminger, Vicente, Anisi and Fennema families, and Mrs. Mannes and Mrs. Hull, for selling over $100 in merchandise.
Orders are expected to be received and ready to go home next week.

Teacher Appreciation Week is just around the corner and we need a few volunteers to help with making the week special. If you are free during the school day at lunch time, if you are interested in helping with a gift for your child’s class, or if you have any ideas you’d like to share, please email Desiree Trapp at desiree.trapp19@gmail.com asap!

by
9:00 am

for Friday’s lunch. There are usually extra slices of pizza available for sale on Fridays at lunch. However, students with pre-orders are served first and there is no guarantee that there will be leftover pizza to sell.
Pizza Fridays are a fundraiser to help cover the costs for the 7
