A Message From the Principal | |
|
Dear St. John’s Families,
This week, we are kicking off our first ever Tuition Raffle. Packets are being sent home with your student(s). The grand prize is $1,000 cash, 2nd place prize is $500 cash, 3rd place prize is $250 cash. Additionally, families will be entered into a raffle for a $500 tuition prize for each booklet sold. How does it work?
Tickets are $10 each. Each family is asked to sell one raffle ticket booklet, consisting of 10 tickets. Our goal is to raise $20,000.
- Each ticket sold has the opportunity to win one of the 3 cash prizes.
- For every booklet sold, your family will receive 1 entry to win $500 off tuition.
- You can sell as many tickets/booklets as you’d like, until we run out.
- All tickets must be turned in to the school office by January 27, 2023, in the given envelope for tracking purposes.
- Winners will be announced at the FUNdraiser Auction on February 4, 2023.
All money raised by this raffle will go towards the purchase of a new math curriculum for kindergarten - 8th grade. We were slated to get this curriculum for the 2022-2023 school year, but our grant funding was not approved.
We thank you in advance for your support!
In His service,
Teri Lyn Mannes
Principal

6th Grade Eagles in Action
The 6th grade class at St. John’s Lutheran School is partnering with the Greater Chicago Food Depository for their Eagles in Action Project. On December 13 they will be going to one of the GCFD distribution centers where they will help pre pack food that will be sent off to places around the Chicagoland area to be given to people in need.
What can you do to help? Here at St. John’s, all money collected in chapel on Wednesdays during December and at coffee hour on Sundays during December will be donated to the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
Thank you for your support - Mr. Wykert and the 6th Grade Class
