JOHN CARROLL SCHOOL FAIR Sunday February 28. Thank you to all the volunteers and especially Kitty for pulling this off. Let us all pray that there is evidence of real interest.
LUTHERAN SCHOOLS WEEK March 1st through the 5th.
Monday Bible Verse day and Silly Heads and Feet: Students should wear something silly on their feet and on their heads while the rest of their clothes are in normal dress code. Of course we assume that it will be in good Christian taste. Teachers will also be asking each child to share their favorite Bible passage. It is a very easy way to help students to practice witnessing to their Savior, Jesus.
Tuesday 8:30 – 9:00 Coffee and Donuts for Parents: We will meet in the library for a timeof socializing while the children get settled in. Coffee and donuts are free. 9:00 – 10:00 Classroom Visitation by Parents: The parents will go to their child’s classroom for an hour or so. The teachers may ask you to share some of your favorite classroom memories and why you are sendingyour child to ALES after you have observed the class in action for a while.
Wednesday 9:00 - 9:30 Chapel: All are invited. 11:30 – 12:00 Lunch with Special Person: Students should invite one or two people they would like to eat lunch with. Those guests will need to bring their lunch since it will not be provided. The guests and students will eat in the classroom like the students do each day. 12:15 – 1:30 Spelling Bee: All are invited. Some students have opted not to be involved so be sure to ask before coming so there is no embarrassment. It should take about an hour or so. 6:00 P.M. Social Studies Fair and PTL {Please note change of time.} : The students will have their projects set up for you to look at.
Thursday Career Day: The teachers will be spending tine with the children talking about careers and what it takes toget to the point of having a career. Wear Another Uniform Day: The students can choose to dress in any uniform they would like to wear that represents a known career. You may want to encourage them to wear something that denotes what they would like to do for a living some day. Guest Community Helper: We have a guest speaker coming in around 10:00 A. M. who is a uniformed community helper. The guest will speak to the students and answer questions.
Friday Wear Your Favorite Color Day: Students can be out of dress code wearing as many things as they canin their favorite color. 9:00 – 9:45 Hearts for Jesus Assembly and Guest Mission Speaker: We have invited former missionaries who spent years in Asia spreading the Gospel. They will share some of their experiences and bring some of their memorabilia. We will also be introducing our new Mission Project of hearts for Jesus which is uniting with other Lutheran schools to help pay for Building a new school in Monrovia, Africa.
Re-enrollment Continues If you have any questions or have misplaced your forms, please stop by and get what you need. If you do not want to pay the $250.00 now, and still intend to send your child here next year, please let us know so we can plan for next year.
