No School – There will be no classes on Monday and Tuesday next week. Teachers will be attending the Kansas District Lutheran Educators Conference.
Food Collection for “Trunk or Treat So Others Can Eat” – We will be collecting food items the week of October 16-20 to donate to Shawnee Community Services. Items needed are canned/fruits & vegetables, rice, pasta, peanut butter, etc. Let’s share to show we care!
Science City – Thank you for the wonderful response to the request for drivers for our field trip this month! We have more than enough drivers so if you responded that you did not wish to stay at Science City, I thank you for volunteering but we will not need you to drive for this field trip. We will have another coming next month on the 14th to see Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer – the musical. We will need drivers for that as well. I will be sending more information/reminders out to my drivers for Science City next week.
Book-It – We are participating in the Pizza Hut Book-It Program this year. Please use the monthly reading calendars to keep track of the number of minutes read each day. Remember that our goal is to read for at least 20 minutes, 6 out of 7 days each week. Please keep track of the minutes for Book-It on the calendar in this week’s Thursday envelope to turn in at the end of the month. All those who have met our reading goal will receive a certificate for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.
Trunk or Treat – Hope Lutheran is hosting Trunk or Treat on Friday, October 27th from 5:30 – 7:00 in the Hope parking lot. We invite you to come and join the fun! If you are interested in hosting a trunk, please let Miss Mondary know at mondary@hopelutheran.org as soon as possible.
PAHS Auction Donations – Our Annual Hope Lutheran PAHS auction is on November 4th. Money raised in our auction goes toward Art, Music, Spanish, and technology. If you are able to donate something to the auction this year bring it by and drop it off in the school office. Please note items must be new. Help us make this year’s auction a huge success! If you have any questions about a donation please contact Debra Heimsoth at auction@hopelutheran.org. Some items are already coming in for our class basket for the auction.
Spelling – We will not have a spelling list for next week since it will be a short week.
Memory for October 11
The Fifth Commandment: You shall not murder.
What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not hurt or harm our neighbor in his body, but help and support him in every physical need.
Chapel Offerings – Part of Hope Lutheran School’s values is teaching children God’s command to help others, and we should always return with gladness the blessings God has given us.
One of the many ways we follow this command is through our chapel offerings. Each week we collect an offering at our chapel service. A mission is selected quarterly, and a goal is set. For our first quarter chapel offerings will be going towards LEADaChild; LeadaChild is an independent Lutheran Mission Agency, dedicated to sharing the Good News of Jesus’ love to children through Christian education in third-world countries.
Singing – The 3rd & 4th grade choir will be singing at our 10:30 worship service on Sunday, October 15. Mrs. Schkade has asked that students meet in the Luther Room at 10:15 that morning to warm up their voices. Students will sit with their families until it is time for them to come forward to sing. If your student is unable to attend, parents need to let Mrs. Schkade know by sending an email to schkade@hopelutheran.org
