• Intro to Middle School Night: Intro to Middle School Night is coming up next week on WEDNESDAY, May 14 in the school library. This is an incredibly beneficial night to attend! Please see the invitation sent earlier this week for more details.
• Fourth Grade Instrument Try Out: This Thursday, May 15 is band instrument try out. This will take place from 3:30-6pm in the Undercroft.
• MAP Testing: We will continue MAP testing on Monday with the math test. Thank you SO MUCH for your continued support these past few weeks. Students loved reading the messages from home to encourage them!
• Puppy Chow/Rice Krispies Treat Sale: We have one more opportunity for our St. Paul community to help Building Hope in Haiti: The Make a Difference Puppy Chow & Rice Krispie Treat sale will be held on Tuesday, May 13th.  Puppy Chow will be sold for $3 each bag, and the rice krispie treats will be sold for $2 each.  Our goal is ambitious, raising at least $600 to support Building Hope in Haiti’s ministries, but we really want to help.  With that in mind we would appreciate it if you would consider giving to help us meet the needs of others.
• Field Trip: A permission slip went home this week for our final end of the year field trip. We will be visiting the Wisconsin Maritime Museum and the Manitowoc Zoo at the end of the month. Please see the permission slip for all the information, as well as chaperoning information if you would like to tag along.

• Wax Museum: Our Wax Museum will take place Tuesday, May 20 from 9:15-10:15am. As we work on our speeches in class next week, please encourage your student to practice at home, as well as think through any costume ideas they would like to bring to school to represent their person. This is truly one of my favorite projects we do all year, and students have done a great job of working on their research and papers the past few weeks. 
• Chapel Offering:  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.

  • For Tuesday:  2 Corinthians 9:7- "Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
  • For Thursday: The Second Article of the Apostles Creed:  "And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead."

God's blessings to you all. Have a wonderful weekend.
