This week was full of so many highlights as we celebrated National Lutheran Schools Week! We dressed up in crazy clothes, brought in quarters to support a school in Florida, and even had a parade around the school! The days were filled with donuts, dance parties, laughter, and excitement.

But the best part of every day was meeting together as an entire school, 2 year olds through 8th grade, in the church, for our daily devotion. We sang songs and talked about what it means to be part of a Lutheran school. We are blessed to be able to Make Disciples for Life!

A special thank you to Pastor Barto, Pastor Sell, and Pastor Baneck for leading our daily devotions.

And now I look forward to the finale' of NLSW! Tomorrow night's Spaghetti Dinner and Silent Auction! Your child has been busy preparing amazing entertainment for you to enjoy.

God's blessings,

Linda Dehn

STORE CARDS...Purchase cards at no additional cost to you. $25 buys a $25 card. Our Savior receives a small profit on each card. The funds are used to purchase additional supplies needed throughout the year.

In December we made almost $300 for the school.

McDonalds has now joined the program. The cards are available in $10 and $25 denominations.

AMAZON SMILE - Of course we have store cards fo Amazon but we can also earn some money for the school by using Amazon Smile and designating Our Savior as our charity recipent. It says 'church' on the website but the funds are deposited in the school's account. This past year we made almost $400. Using the cards purchased through us and then using them to purchase your items pays us twice. YAY!!

~ Important Information ~

MILK CARDS...can be purchased anytime. Cards are $8 and have 20 milks. We offer 2% white and chocolate fat free. If you would like to purchase a milk via SchoolCues, just contact Gail and she will add the charge on your account. Then you will be able to purchase the milk. Once a month we will also have strawberry fat fee available also.

INK CARTRIDGES...we recycle them for a small profit back to school. We will accept any small cartridges. The funds helps pay for some of our new technology.

AMAZON SMILE: If you ordered from Amazon please considered 1) buying your Amazon cards from us. We receive a percentage on each card we purchase. 2) Please make any purchases on Amazon Smile and click "Our Savior Lutheran Church" as the charity you would like a percentage of your sales to go towards. The school receives the Amazon Smile funds directly to our bank account. Using both these options allows us to earn a little extra money for the school. Thanks for your support.
