We had our first field trip of the year on Tuesday September 19. The students really enjoyed the different smells of the Ethanol plant, playing bingo at the Anderson County Historical Museum, and getting scared by mannequins at the Harrison House. Make plans to attend the October 11th chapel service as the 7th graders will be leading it.
Our school theme is “Connected” with our verse of “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.“–John 15:1-5.
Chapel offerings will go to LeadaChild for 1st quarter.
Pie Fundraiser – Order forms for the Pie Fundraiser have been sent home. Checks can be made payable to Hope Lutheran. Please have order forms and payments returned to school by today, Thursday, September 21. Pies will be delivered in November. This is a fundraiser for the 8th grade Washington, DC trip.

Fentanyl Presentation
