Updates
I need to thank you for the many well-wishes during this past week. I always feel a little odd having an “appreciation week” as I am one who recognizes what a privilege it is to work with my students and their families and knows how blessed I am to genuinely enjoy what I have been called to do.
Please be looking for the sign-up for our graduation reception planning. It’s truly an exciting day for them and their families, and I’m grateful for those who are already putting plans together and for those who know they can contribute through volunteering. YOU are appreciated!!!!
Highlights of the upcoming weeks —
- Chapel Offerings - We are supporting the Lutheran Church Charities Comfort Dog ministry. The mite boxes you received should be turned in by our closing chapel on Friday, May 30th. When the dogs came to visit a couple weeks ago, it was easy to see how they reach the hearts of kids, even those who haven’t experienced significant trauma. I’m so grateful for those who train and serve with the dogs.
- Looking into the following week: Our LJHA is holding their annual Puppy Chow and Rice Krispie Treat sale on Tuesday, May 13th. Puppy Chow is $3 and the Rice Krispie treats are $2. All proceeds go to supporting our sponsored students, their families, and their community through Building Hope in Haiti.
- Please look for information regarding our Track and Field Day from Mr. Kell. As you know by now, this is a day that needs many hands. 🙂
