DONATIONS FOR STONY POINT NORTH ELEMENTARY
The 7th/8th-grade students have the opportunity to provide a Christmas celebration for physically and developmentally disabled students attending Stony Point North Elementary School in KCK. Many of these students are in foster care and for many of them, these gifts will be their entire Christmas.  Money can be dropped off in the school office. We need to raise at least $1600 for the children of Stony Point. The 7th/8th graders thank you in advance for your support. The collection deadline is Friday, December 6th. The students will be shopping the following week. Thank you.

Bake Sale for Stony Point
During the MBHC basketball tournament on December 6th – 8th, the 7th and 8th graders host a bake sale to raise funds for Stony Point. Here is the sign-up for what items you are bringing: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080B4FA9A729A3F94-53220416-bake 

We will need two students and one parent to run the bake sale table for 2 half-hour shifts. Please see the sign-up below. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080B4FA9A729A3F94-53220474-tournament 

Spelling Bee
Congratulations to all the spellings in the spelling bee! It takes a lot of courage to get up in front of the school and parents, but everyone did a wonderful job! 

Student Raffle
We are continuing the Student Raffle at Hope. Students will be able to receive green tickets for if they are going above and beyond what was asked of them. Students can also earn tickets for bringing in items for Christmas Families.

Crown Center Performance
Hope Lutheran has been invited to perform at Crown Center on Tuesday, December 17th. All choirs will be performing, as well as the A-band. Students are to wear black bottoms and white tops. Students must arrive at 5:30, and the performance starts promptly at 5:45 pm. 

Chapel Offering for 2nd Quarter and Christmas Families
Our chapel offering for 2nd quarter is going towards Christmas Families. For the past 31 years at Hope, students have donated to help families in need given to us by Metropolitan Lutheran Ministries. 

Christmas Family Information
This will mark our 31st. year of offering the love of Christ through the outpouring of food, household goods, clothing, and gift cards to those less fortunate during the Christmas season.   

With your generosity, we have successfully given for many years to those in need.  

 We are asking for you to consider joining us in making it another successful endeavor for four to five families that we at Hope Lutheran School will adopt during this Christmas season through the Metropolitan Lutheran Ministry agency, the Johnson County Adopt a Family for Christmas/Salvation Army program.

A schedule is listed below and on the back. For these families, the children are asked to bring this to school. 

 A TEXT REMINDER will be sent the day before to remind everyone.

May the love which God sent down to earth shine through us, so that others may see His love and know of His hope. 

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. McIntosh at mcintosh@hopelutheran.org  (the coordinator for the Christmas families).
