Chapel Offering 

Our 1st Quarter chapel offerings will be going to the Lutheran Urban Mission Agency (LUMA). LUMA walks with local churches and communities, empowering and equipping them to meet spiritual, social, and physical needs. So far we have collected $16.85.

Upcoming Field Trips 

Permission slips were given out at Back-to-School Night on Tuesday, or sent in last week’s Thursday Folders, if not in attendance. We have two upcoming field trips. September 23rd is Timber Ridge. All students must have the permission slip signed, as well as the waiver from Timber Ridge. There is a front and back to sign. Any parent attending must have a waiver signed as well. 

The second field trip is October 23rd to Lutheran High. We need parent drivers for both of these field trips. Please help out if you are able to!
