Vision & Hearing testing Friday~ December 9th

Good hearing and vision is important to your child’s education. We would like to help your child do well in school. We will be checking both on December 2 and 9th.

The vision test is having your child read a line of letters/symbols (depending on child’s age) on an eye chart while standing at a set distance.

The hearing test will have your child raise their hand during a “beep” sound from headphones.

This is only a preliminary testing. We will send a note home with the results.

If you have any questions or would not like your student to participate, please call the school office and let Mrs. Heather McGuire know.

Volunteers needed!!!

Next week is the Christmas Store

Christmas Store is right around the corner. The GSLS Christmas Store will be open Monday, Dec 12 thru Wednesday, Dec 14.

We are in need of volunteers to help the students shop & wrap gifts You can volunteer for 1 hour or the whole morning. Volunteers will assist children with their shopping, wrapping presents, and cashier.

If you are available to help please email or text Heather Bradley. 920-342-2220 or heather@ez-promotion.com

The program is Thursday, December 15th at 10:00 am and 7:00 pm. Students will meet in their classroom at 6:30 pm.

Our angel choir will need the following for the performances: a plain white t-shirt (long sleeve or short sleeve) and dark pants (black, gray, etc). This is for all students in grade K-8th.

If your child has a speaking part or a non speaking part, a note will be sent home this week for what they need to wear. They can wear to school or bring it to change into for the 10 am performance.

Our offering collection will be used to fund scholarships, school registration, and supplies for children so that they can attend Lutheran schools and afterschool programs.
