Dear Families,
We are now in the holy season of Lent. Lent is a time of reflection and of our turning our hearts to God. As we begin this Lenten journey toward a greater union with Christ, we hope to strengthen our faith through devoted practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
|
|
Our Bible verse focus for the month of February is Matthew 6:33.
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Our prayer focus is the Angel of God prayer.

All parents should have received an email from Lexington Food Service Director, Alexis Davis, with information about creating an online account and instructions on how to place your order. If you did not receive the email or if you have questions concerning lunch orders, please contact Alexis Davis with Lexington Food Services.

A HUGE shout out to the 20 families that are actively submitting receipts on the Box Tops App! We now have a total of $192 earned for the school year!
While the pink box tops are becoming harder to find we did have 51 submitted! THANK YOU for taking the time to clip and turn those in.
Since the program moved digital there are fewer and fewer pink box tops to clip though there are still some out there. This is why scanning your receipts is so important for this FREE MONEY program to work.
If you still have any of the UNEXPIRED pink box tops, please send them to school NOW! Many of them expire on 3/1/2021! I still have time to send them in for credit.
If you are not using the Box Tops for Education app please consider doing so. This is free money for the school and all you have to do is scan your receipt.
The app is very easy to use and had lots of bonuses.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
