The all-school spelling bee will be on November 20th. We hope you can attend to cheer on and support all the students participating!
PAHS Auction
The annual Hope Auction is coming up on Saturday, November 9th. This will be held in the FLC. There will be many fun items to bid on. The proceeds go towards our art, Spanish, music, and P.E.
Friday, November 8th Dress Up
To show our support to the Hope Auction, students may dress up as their favorite superhero on Friday, November 8th.
Student Raffle
To get the students excited for the PAHS Auction, we are holding a student raffle. Students are given 2 green tickets that they can use on any of the student raffle items. Students can also earn more of the green tickets from any teacher/staff member by going above and beyond what they are asked to do. The student raffle will take place on Friday, November 8.
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 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. More information about what can be donated will be given out in November.
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).
