--Our class has decided to change our chapel mission for the year. Our offerings will now be going to Heart-4-Haiti to help Pastor Bernard and the people of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and School.
--We will continue going outside for recess as often as the weather permits. Please make sure your child always has a warm jacket (and hats/gloves as needed) as the weather sometimes clears during the day.
