Iowa Tests of Basic Skills will be taken next week. Please try to make sure that your child is in school and on time so that we can get our testing completed as soon as possible. It's also a good idea to make sure the children get plenty of rest (a good night's sleep) and eat a good breakfast. The test results should be back in time to be shared at the March parent conferences.

Chapel offerings are currently going to help with needs in Haiti following the earthquake.

Lent begins next Wednesday (Ash Wednesday). During Lent our chapel services are the 10:00 a.m. worship services. Parents are welcome to join us.

March 8-13 we will be celebrating National Lutheran Schools Week with special activities each day. Wednesday of that week will be Grandparents Day, where grandparents will be able to come and visit our school. You may want to let them know so that they can arrange their schedules. More information will be coming as it gets closer.
