Mite Boxes

Don’t forget to be putting your coins in your Mite Boxes! We are encouraging all children at Hope Lutheran School to fill their Mite Box and bring it back on March 26th for chapel.  

The best way to fill the mite box is to put your loose change from the car or have the children put in a penny a day.  Thank you for supporting the LWML
