Chapel Offerings

For the months of April and May, our chapel offerings will be sent to support the LCC K-9 comfort dogs organization. This ministry, which began in 2008, works to help bring comfort to people through the calming presence of Golden Retrievers.  Thanks to generous donors, this ministry is free for everyone they help. Our contributions can help ensure that this special service continues to be available to those who need it! Each student will also be given a Mite box to collect donations. These should be turned in by our closing chapel on Friday May 30th.

5th/6th GRADE PARENTS: Please note that we will have 2 field trips coming up that will require some parent chaperones.  We will be visiting Riveredge from 9 to 1pm on May 12 and we will hopefully have an all day field trip in Milwaukee at the end of May.  IF you are interested/willing/able to chaperone, it is ESSENTIAL that you fill out a background check application  ASAP if you have not already done so this school year. I included the link to the form which can also be found on the RESOURCES tab of the school website.
