I hope that everyone enjoyed the day yesterday as they had the opportunity to celebrate the Chiefs’ Super Bowl Victory with the parade! Our prayers go out to those who were affected by the incident afterward.
Geography Bee – We were not able to complete our classroom geography bee yet. We still need a few more rounds to get down to 2 finalists (with 1 alternate) who will represent our class at the all-school Geography Bee on February 28th.
Lenten Services / Student Ushers – 3rd grade has been asked to help with handing out service folders and ushering for the 4:00 Wednesday Lenten Services beginning on February 21st. This is an opportunity for the students to be involved in a way that they enjoy and can be of service to the congregation that supports our school in so many ways. Student helpers can stay with me after school and I will accompany them to the sanctuary and stay with them until after the service. Please use this Sign-Up Genius to indicate which service(s) your child could be available to serve. It is not expected that your child serves every week, but please indicate any/all weeks that it would be possible. Lenten student usher sign-up
Mite Boxes – Don’t forget to keep 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 February 28th 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.
Science Fair – This year’s school-wide end-of-the-year event is a Science Fair on May 1st. This is a required project for all full-time students. A packet of information is in today’s envelope. The majority of the project is to be done at home. There will be dates and items that students need to bring in to check and be graded. Because this is a Science Fair, students should be doing experiments that follow the Scientific Method. They should begin with a question, followed by a hypothesis and experiment and collection of data that support or disprove the hypothesis. This project should not be a model that explains a process. If your child’s first choice for their project was not approved, please remember that it must be an experiment with a control and only one variable. I have shared a list of over 200 ideas with the class (but not all of them fit this criteria). Students need to resubmit a new plan if they were not approved. Be sure to keep up with due dates to stay on track.
Grandparents Day – Please be sure to Invite Grandparents and Special Person Day to join us on Friday, March 8th. The students will be performing. There will be snacks, games, and crafts for all our guests. Save the date! Please RSVP at https://forms.gle/8ZYr2VH5pZXGe8uC8

Memory for February 22: The Second Article: Redemption
What does this mean? (Part 3)
that I may be His own and live under Him in His kingdom and serve Him in everlasting righteousness, innocence, and blessedness, just as He is risen from the dead, lives and reigns to all eternity.
This is most certainly true.
