I hope everyone enjoyed their day off yesterday. Make plans to attend the Feb. 21 chapel, the 7th grade 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 Comfort Dogs Ministry. Please encourage your student to bring an offering.
Spring Play – Mrs. McIntosh will be our drama coach for our 7th/8th grade Spring Play. Auditions will be held on Monday, February 12th at 3:45 pm – 4:30 pm. Rehearsals will be during school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:15-4:00 pm starting on Feb. 20. The spring play is called The Pony Expresso and will be performed on April 18-19. If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Mcintosh at mcintosh@hopelutheran.org.
Mite Boxes – DON’T FORGET TO BE 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. As an incentive for the 7th graders to collect coins, I will award 5 minutes of extra recess time for every $5 collected. Thank you for supporting the LWML.
Quiz Bowl – Starting today Thursdays and Fridays from 3:45 – 4:30, we will hold Quiz Bowl practice. The coaches are Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Schkade. For more information, please contact Mr. McCarthy at mccarthy@hopelutheran.org

Chromebooks – Make sure your student is charging their laptops every night. Students are unable to charge their Chromebooks while at school, so it is important they are charging them while at home.
Candy Policy – Please make sure that your student is not bringing any candy for lunch or a snack.
Religion – Make sure your student is bringing their Bibles and Luther’s Small Catechism to school.
Tests/Quizzes – Make sure your student is holding onto their tests and quizzes for each class, they are good study tools for the finals in May.
