7th Grade Eagles in Action 2021
The Seventh grade kicked off their Eagles in Action month by leading the school in chapel last Wednesday. Later this month, we will be helping the organization Operation Support Our Troops, by filling stockings with goodies for our servicemen and women.
Below is a list of items that are good "stocking stuffers." Students can bring items to their classrooms and stuff the stockings delivered by a seventh grader.
Chapel offerings will help offset the shipping cost of the stockings.

3rd Grade Thank You!
We are grateful for your generous offerings in September! They will be blessings for the rest of the school year for the LaGrange Area Food Pantry. Each month through June, $70 will go towards our monthly non-food item that SNAP and LINK cards don’t cover, plus food items that are sale priced that will help those in need. Our coffee hour offerings from serving on September 19th went directly to the Lutheran Church Disaster Relief Fund to help those affected by the recent hurricanes Ida and Nicholas. We would also like to thank the 5th grade for donating the proceeds from their Social Studies class project “Mrs. Wykert’s Mall” to the chapel offerings in September. We can definitely see that Jesus is in all things!
