Help Make Our FUNdraiser a Success!

Our FUNdraiser Auction is fast approaching. There are many ways to support this exciting event.


Please consider donating an item or items to the themed baskets listed below. The items will be arranged into EAGLE BASKETS for the silent auction! Instead of each classroom creating their own basket this year, we have chosen these 4 themes that anyone can contribute to. These are important items for the financial success of the auction and a great way to support St. John's Lutheran School.  


  • Fun at the Pool
  • Baking/Cooking
  • Outdoor activities/games
  • Game Night (Children and adult) 


Send in items to your child's teacher by Friday, January 20! If you have any questions or concerns please contact the PLANNING COMMITTEE at auction@stjohnslagrange.org

We also still need wine donations for our wine pull.

Please send bottles of wine in to the school office with the donation form attached in the button below:

All School Open House

January 29, 12:00pm-2:00pm

On January 29th, we will open our school to prospective school families and give them the opportunity to tour the school, receive information, meet staff, and get answers to any questions they may have. Our best recruitment comes through the words of parents, children, and congregation members.

 

We encourage all current parents to invite another family that could benefit from a quality, Christ-centered education at St. John’s. As an incentive for school families to recruit new students, there is a $250 incentive toward your children’s tuition (2023-24) for each new family who enrolls because of your influence.


We are also looking for families that will help give tours. Please contact Mrs. Johnson (s.johnson@stjohnslagrange.orgif you are available!  


Please share the attached flier!
