D.C. Trip –
Dear 8th Grade Parents,
We are excited to begin preparations for our upcoming Washington, D.C. trip! Due to travel arrangements and our partnership with another Lutheran school, the trip has been rescheduled to May 5th–8th. On Friday, May 9th, the students will have a day off.
A packet of important paperwork will be sent home in this week’s Thursday packet. Please review, complete, and return all necessary forms by Thursday, February 27th.
We will hold a parent meeting on Tuesday, April 15th, at 5:30 PM in the 7th-grade classroom to go over trip details and answer any questions. Miss Mondary and I will be the chaperones accompanying the students.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to reach out. We look forward to a fantastic trip!
Eligibility – Make sure your student has at least a 75% so they can be eligible for extracurricular activities include all athletic, Spring Play, and non-athletic school sponsored clubs. Band, Chess Club, and Lego Club are excluded from eligibility requirements.

Who receives this Sacrament worthily?
Fasting and bodily preparation are certainly fine outward training. But that person is
truly worthy and well prepared who has faith in these words: “Given and shed for you
for the forgiveness of sins.” But anyone who does not believe these words or doubts
them is unworthy and unprepared, for the words “for you” require all hearts to
believe.

Romans 6:1-3 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may
abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know
that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
