Chapel- The seventh graders led a great chapel about Jesus’s transfiguration. They helped us understand that a few of Jesus’s disciples were there to witness that amazing event, and those same disciples were at Jesus’s crucifixion and death. These events were “awe”ful in many ways, and the disciples’ faith was strengthened at each one.
Verse to Remember: “While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” (Matthew 17:5)
Valentine’s Parties- Grade 5 is having their party on Thursday. Grades K-4 parties will be on Friday. Grades 6-8 do not have Valentine parties or card exchanges. All students in K-8 are invited to wear a Valentine/heart- themed shirt on Friday.
Gratitude and Joy- During the month of February, every student and teacher in grades K-8 is daily recording things they are grateful for. We want to start each day on a positive note, giving thanks to God for all His blessings in each moment of our lives. This brings us JOY and honors our God.
Choir performances– On Feb. 22, Grades 3-5 choir will sing at Hope’s 10:30 service. On March 8, all K-8 students will be singing and/or playing in band at Hope’s church services to kick off National Lutheran Schools Week. It is very important that as many students as possible attend these performances, because we work hard in band and choir to make our voices and instruments blend and balance. If you have a family or church conflict that prevents your child from attending, please email Mrs. Schkade and your child’s homeroom teacher.
