Newsletter November 2nd-6th

Stacking Cups to help CCLS-U!!
Next Thursday, we will join over 600,000 children around the world having fun and helping to set a Guinness World Record for the number of people stacking for 30 minutes in one day.  It is a great activity and we would like to use it to help raise money for CCLS-U.

This year, each CCLS classroom has set a goal of $250 to help CCLS-U to continue to grow, educate children, and share Jesus.  We are asking you to sponsor your child in the cup stacking activity.  We will send pledge forms home on Friday in the student packets of graded papers.  Please ask your family and friends to join in the fun and help us raise at least $500 for fourth grade.  We'd love to top that number!!

Watch for the pledge forms on Friday!
