Volume 49, Issue 17

We look forward with much anticipation to joining you tomorrow evening as our students lead us all in a Christmas worship service. We are certain that in heaven we will hear children’s voices singing about the birth of our Savior. It is a beautiful sound! 

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy, Healthy New Year!



We are the Eagles!



Mrs. Hackelberg and Mrs. Hull

Sixth Grade Eagles in Action

Our chapel offerings are going to support the Hodgkins Food Pantry. The sixth graders will be helping serve the community on February 18 as they help give out food at the Hodgkins Food Pantry Greater Chicago Food Depository Event.

The First Graders delivered the books, games, and stuffies donated in November to the People's Resource Center. We had a great tour and learned about the wonderful help they give to so many people! Thanks for your contributions to this wonderful organization.
