Eagles in Action
3rd Grade Eagles in Action 2021
3rd Grade is learning that Jesus is in all things (Colossians 1:17) and that includes our Eagles in Action service project in August and September. During the school year, 3rd grade will use chapel offerings to purchase non-food items each month for the LaGrange Area Food Pantry that Snap or Link cards don’t cover like toothpaste, shampoo, soap, deodorant, or toilet paper, to name a few. We will keep you posted on the items we purchase in the WINGS. Thank you for helping us serve in our community and share that Jesus is in all things!

VOLUNTEER HOURS PARTICIPATION POLICY

Parents, Teachers, and Students are all important parts of our school family, and we wouldn't be successful if we didn't work together. To that end, all families are required to complete five (5) hours of volunteer service. Any family receiving financial assistance from St. John's Lutheran School will be required to complete ten (10) hours of volunteer service. Those families not completing their hours by May 13, 2022 will be charged a fee of $250.00.

Suggested ways to volunteer (not an all-inclusive list)
Any PTO event (i.e. Book Fair, Sock Hop, hot lunch [classroom parties excluded])
Basketball Tournament
Teacher task: cutting, labeling, etc.
FUNdraiser auction

Other opportunities will arise throughout the year and will be posted in Wings or your classroom newsletter.

Volunteer Opportunities are available for Trivia Night!

Did you know you can add extended family members to the emails from Artsonia? Here’s what one grandparent says about it:

Why this Grandma loves Artsonia
I can see my grandchild’s artwork when our busy lives keep us separate
I can ask my grandchild about his projects when I see him
I can purchase surprise gifts for my grandchild with his artwork on it 
I can buy items for myself with his artwork (good quality!)
I can support the art program at his school
I can leave encouraging comments for him about his artwork.
I can ask for the original artwork and frame it 
The site is easy to use!  
 Customer service is excellent if you need to call with a question!
Artwork remains on the site so there is no deadline for ordering
Thank you!
Thank you to all who came out for the Pet Parade last Saturday! We had a ball sharing our Eagles' spirit in the community with our Eagle mascot, Angel the Comfort Dog, and many school families. We look forward to the 76th Annual Pet Parade next year!
