Chapel offerings will go to Comfort Dogs Ministry for 3rd quarter. Please encourage your child to bring offering each week. It is a good way for them to remember the blessings they have and to share those blessings with others. “Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.” Proverbs 14:31.

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 Wednesday, February 28th for chapel.  The best way to fill the mite box is to put your loose change in from the car or have the children put in a penny a day.  As an incentive for the 8th graders to collect coins, I will award 5 minutes of extra recess time for every $5 collected.  Thank you for supporting the LWML.

Spring Play – Rehearsals will be during school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:15-4:00 pm. The spring play is called The Pony Expresso and will be performed on April 18-19. If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Mcintosh at mcintosh@hopelutheran.org.

Outdoor Recess – Per our handbook policy on page 14, on most days, students will be expected to go outside for recess. Students must have a coat to go outside to recess if the temperature is 50 degrees or below; zippered hoodies are not considered coats. Hats and gloves are also recommended.
