News and Notes - January 25th-29th

Lutheran Schools Week is off to a great start!  

Thank you for your donations of cereal boxes for the St. John's Morgan Ford Food Pantry.  In celebration we will be having a Cereal Breakfast from 7:45-8:15 a.m. on Friday, January 29th.  It is also Pajama day :)

During the day Friday, students will be making lunches to feed the homeless in the city through an organization called Gateway180.  They will be making 200 sandwiches and packing lunches on Friday morning.  We are so thankful for the many resources we have, now we are able to share with others in need through this project.

Jump Rope for Heart has been wonderful. Mrs. Knost does a fabulous job of incorporating Jesus into their Jumping time during PE class.  Our class will have our Jump Rope for Heart time on Thursday from 1:10-2:00.  Students should wear comfortable shoes and bring a water bottle.


CCLS Trivia Night
Hopefully you have heard about our upcoming CCLS Trivia Night on Friday, February 19, 2016.  I wanted to tell you about an exciting classroom challenge we are doing for the students.  Here's how it works.  If your child's class fills 1 table (either full of classroom parents or family friends), your child's classroom will receive a Leap Day Free Dress Day on February 29, 2016.  When you click the link to sign up, just note in the appropriate section which class should receive credit.  We will take it from there.  

We hope you make plans to attend this fun evening.  It will be a great night to socialize with other CCLS families.


Math: In Math this week the students will work on lessons 56-58 with a test Tuesday.

Click the link to see what students are learning in Music with Mrs. Killian.  Please help your student prepare for the operetta!  The fourth graders have the main parts in the operetta this year.  Mrs. Killian will give them more details about how this will work and what parts they will need to practice during their music class.

Check out Mrs. Brannan's blog for updates on memory work, science, social studies, field trips, and much more!
