If not, they must bring their own lunch. Permission slips are due no later than April 9th.
Mite Box Collection Extended!
We encourage all students at Hope Lutheran School to fill their Mite Box and bring it to chapel on April 2nd.
Serve-a-thon
At Hope Lutheran School, we are called to serve others as the hands and feet of Christ. This year, we are excited to do our Serve-A-Thon, which is like our traditional Walk-A-Thon, as a way to actively live out our faith by reaching out and making a difference in the Johnson County community.
During the week of April 7th through the 11th, students will dedicate their time and energy to meaningful service projects throughout our city. From preschoolers serving on campus to older students working at various locations, each child will experience the joy of giving back. Through this, we hope they will see firsthand how their kindness and compassion can be a blessing to others.
As part of the Serve-A-Thon, students will raise funds to support Hope Lutheran School. Our goal is $32,000, which will go toward enhancing our school’s ever-evolving technology needs. Leading up to the event, students will collect pledges for the service project their class will complete. In addition, we will be giving LUMA 10% of our proceeds to support their mission.
MAKE-UP SNOW DAYS
We have THREE snow days built into our calendar this year. We will be making up one day on April 25th.
