Supporting our Uganda Student at CCLS-U, Stacking Cup Information, and CCLS Auction News

Fundraiser for Ugandan Students
Fourth grade is raising money to support two students at CCLS-U.  We need to raise $500 for the two children to attend class for a year in Uganda.  The event that we used to gain support was the cup stacking we did on Thursday, November 17.  The pledge forms went home during that week and we would still like you to participate in the support of these two students by helping your child collect money from family and friends.  Our students can tell about the event and how much fun they had stacking cups to earn money and to help the World Sport Stacking Association with their 2016 Stack Up.  WSSA was attempting to break the world record set last year by having more than 618,314 people from all over the world stack cups for at least 30 minutes on a certain day in November. 

Checks can be made out to CCLS, put Uganda Student on the memo line.

Thank you so much for helping us with this very worthwhile project.  The fourth graders pray for their counterparts in Uganda often during prayer circle time.  Please help the blessing continue.

Stacking Cups
All children in fourth grade will need a set of 12 stacking cups to use in class during 2nd semester of this school year.  I have set up an account with the Speed Stacks company. 

When and Where Students Shop:
  • Our students will be able to shop from Nov. 21st to Dec. 2nd by visiting www.speedstacks.com/go and simply choosing "Christ Community Lutheran School" from the list (no password or code needed).
  • You will need to pay with a credit card.
  • You will not pay shipping as all the items will be sent to me at school and I will send them home with the children.
  • CCLS will receive 10% of all your purchase money to buy more products for the classrooms.
You certainly may purchase them somewhere else, borrow some, or use sets that belong to siblings.  You will find many options of fun things on the website, including timers, mats, etc. Please know that while those are fun to have, they are not required for our class. 

Please mark each cup and other item your child may have with his or her name in permanent marker.  There are many similarities with these cups.
