OUR SAVIOR LUTHERAN SCHOOL 
PAW PRINTS

                 Dec. 7, 2018 
This year we are creating a GIFT CARD TREE for an adopted family.  Mom, Dad, and their 6 wonderful children, ages from infant to late teens.  Gift cards (scrip) are conveniently available in the office.  Any monetary donations are appreciated as well.
Donations are due by Tuesday, December 18th.

Thank you to the Orth family for all of their amazing efforts in making our parade float a magical experience.  Thank you to the PTO for supporting this community activity.  We couldn't have done it without you!  A special shout out to Tyler Orth (the project manager), Tanner Griffith, Mandy & Sam Butler, Niki Orth, Bella Abundiz, Ava Alvarez, Gigi & Hunter Allen, Bella Menges as well as the student participants on the float that exhibited the spirit of our school.

We are well on our way to providing 100 Christmas Baskets for families in need right here in Livermore. This next week we are stepping it up as we BLITZ towards the finish line. Starting Monday, December 10th, we are asking students to bring in any and all non-perishable food items to donate for the baskets. Canned vegetables, boxes of cereal, pasta and sauce. 
Whatever you want to bring is perfect. The class that brings in the most items through Friday will win a pizza party with Sara Agee, our DCE. Let's see which class can win the blitz!
