“Up from the grave he arose
With a mighty triumph o’er his foes!
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
And he lives forever with his saints to reign.
He arose! He arose! Alleluia, Christ arose!”
Chapel offerings for 4th quarter will go to the Guatemala Mission Trip. 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.
Tri-Fold Boards – Students need to purchase their Science Fair tri-fold boards from the office. Boards are $6 each and come in colors: red, blue, yellow, and green. Colors are available on a first come, first served basis. Boards must be purchased by next Friday.
Science Fair Boards – Mrs. Cook, a 7th grade parent, has volunteered to help the students use Canva to create their boards for the Science Fair. She will be coming to class to work with students who are interested in using this process. She is also volunteering to help students print their Canva design at the Olathe, Indian Creek Library on Thursday, April 25th. A letter with details about this opportunity was sent home last week. Please return that letter with your decision marked by April 15th.
Olympic Day – Lutheran High School will be hosting their annual Olympic Day on Thursday, April 25th. Your child’s permission slip needs to be returned ASAP. If your child is choosing not to attend, it will be counted as an unexcused absence. A hamburger lunch is available to participants for $3.00 and must be ordered before we go. Money for the lunch should be brought to school by April 22nd. We are still in need of drivers, so if you are available to drive for Olympic Day, please make sure to let me know.
Read-a-thon – Hope is getting ready to kick-off our Read-a-thon fundraiser next week! Read-a-thon makes it easy, fun, and rewarding to practice reading at home and at school. Friends and family support your child’s reading efforts by making a donation to their personal Read-a-thon page. In your child’s Thursday envelope is an instruction sheet on how to create your child’s account, how to share it with friends and family, and how to log reading minutes online. Please set up your child’s account over the weekend. This fundraising event will be used to raise money for new computers and chromebooks for our students and staff. Our class is raising $2200 to purchase a new laptop for Mrs. Burgoon, one of our preschool teachers.

Movie Night – Student Council is hosting an outdoor movie night on Friday, April 12th in the school parking lot. They will be showing the movie “Migration” starting at 8:30 pm. It is a free event, you just need to bring your lawn chairs!
Faith In Action – On Tuesday, April 16th, students in grades 4-8 will be going to Harvesters to help pack boxes of food as a servant event. We will be taking buses to Harvesters. Students should wear Hope spirit hoodie, jeans, and tennis shoes. We will eat lunch in our classrooms when we return, so students will need to bring a sack lunch (hot lunch will not be an option). A permission form is being sent home in your child’s Thursday envelope and needs to be returned by April 9th.
Spring Play – The spring play is called The Pony Expresso and will be performed on April 18th at 4:30 pm and 7:00 pm. There will be a dinner in between the two performances.
Washington DC Trip – We will have a parent meeting about the Washington DC Trip on Monday, April 29th at 5:30 pm in the Science Room. Please add this date to your calendars as we will share information about trip expectations, transportation, itinerary, and “housekeeping” items. We have paperwork that needs to be completed at this meeting, so please plan to attend.
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.
