3rd Grade Eagles in Action 2021
3rd Grade is learning that Jesus is in all things (Colossians 1:17) and that includes our Eagles in Action service project in August and September. During the school year, 3rd grade will use chapel offerings to purchase non-food items each month for the LaGrange Area Food Pantry that Snap or Link cards don’t cover like toothpaste, shampoo, soap, deodorant, or toilet paper, to name a few. We will also be collecting food items like cereal, pasta, and canned goods that can be dropped off during the Meals to Go Supper on Sunday, September 12th. We will keep you posted on the items we purchase in the WINGS. Thank you for helping us serve in our community and share that Jesus is in all things!

Properties Work Day, September 11th
The Board of Properties will host a work day on Saturday, September 11th, starting at 8:00 AM. We will focus on the LED retro-fit of the light fixtures in the school. This is light-duty work that will improve the lighting in our school, and it will save electricity and maintenance costs. Our board members will supervise and provide guidance on how to safely perform this task. Many hands make light work; so won’t you please join us as we strive to complete this project? Lunch and refreshments will be served.
Thank you,
William Newren
Chairman, Board of Properties
