Chapel day?

Chapel is every Wednesday at 8:20. The classes sit 
together with their teachers.  Parents
are invited to attend any time and to sit with the
class or to sit anywhere in the church with their child/ren. 
Each week a different person or group is asked to 
lead our worship. We praise and worship God and thank Him 
for all good things. One week during the year the 
first grade classes lead the chapel worship. You will
be notified in advance so you can attend. Our offerings
are collected and sent to various mission activities
during the year.

Dinner Auction in December?

Dinner Auction is an evening of:
-Fellowship - Come and enjoy with friends. 
-Food - Tickets can be purchased in advance for
      the meal.
-Classroom Projects - Each classroom works on
      a project that is put into the auction for
      bidding. Bidders have a bidder number.
-Silent Auction - You will get a bidder number. 
      After you view the items, you can write 
      down your bidder number and the amount that 
      you are willing to pay for the item. At the 
      end of the evening, you find out if you 
      "won" the bid. Then you pay for 
      your items and take them home.
-"Live" Auction - The items in the Live Auction
      are usually larger items which bring higher
      bids than the silent auction. It is con-
      ducted live by an auctioneer. Highest bidder
      gets the item.

100th Day of School?

We count the school days. When we get to 100,
we do a lot of activities involving the number
100.  Psalm 100, 100 tally marks, 100 stamps,
and 100 piece puzzles are just some of our fun
activities.

Grandparent Day?

Grandparents or Special Friends are invited to
come to view and to tour our school. A special
Chapel worship is planned along with time to
view work on display in the classroom.  
Be sure to check what time we dismiss school
on that day.

Valentines Day?

This is not a party day.  Students are allowed to bring 
Valentines to school as long as they bring one for 
EVERY child in our class. We will send home a list of 
everyone in the class so you don't miss anyone. 
On Valentines Day we do special activities with hearts 
etc. but otherwise it is a regular school day, regular 
lunch day, and regular dismissal time.  We do allow time 
during the day for them to open, admire, and thank 
people for the Valentines.

Resurrection Party Day?

We have a Resurrection party the first day back
to school after Easter.  We wear Christian
T-shirts and have a healthy morning snack. 
We also have a devotion with
the Kinder and Second grades.

Academic Fair evening?

Academic Fair includes a classroom "Open House" along 
with 
a program in the church performed by the students.  
First graders will be singing that evening in the program.  
We will let you know what type of clothing should 
be worn. This is part of the Music curriculum.

Field Day?

Students in grades 1 through 4 go to Our Savior Lutheran
School to participate in track and field events.
Since teachers are in charge of running the events,
parents are responsible to go with their child, or
find another adult to be responsible for their
child for the day and help him/her get to the
events.  It is loads of fun!  Plan to join us
for the day!

the last day of school?

We dismiss early that day.
Have a wonderful summer. Remember to read 
and practice math.
