Weekly Update--November 19, 2012

Reminder--Students need a USB at school at all times.

Student Led Conferences are on Nov. 20 and 21. Sign up sheets are on the bulletin board across from the office. Thank-you to those who have signed up.  If you are unable to attend on those dates or times, please contact me and I will arrange a separate time for your child to share their accomplishments with you.


CLWR (Canadian Lutheran World Relief) November collection items: sets of 10 un-sharpened pencils, a sharpener and an eraser. The collection bucket is outside of Ms. Meilleur's door.

Please also remember Rehimet, our Compassion Canada sponsor child. We would like to collect $1.00/month from the students. If it is easier to bring it as one lump sum, please do so.
