running the sale in-between. Please contact PTF president Mary Klebs or Camp

Do you have any items that you would
like to donate? Please bring any donations to the school at any time. Items can
be left in the fellowship hall, or in the case of larger items, speak to Mr.
Schneck and we will find a place for them. Any items gently used will be
welcome: clothing, toys, household goods, books, tools, etc. (Please no tube
TVs or computer monitors.)
Proceeds of this sale benefit school ministry through the PTF and Camp
Luther Alaska.
The Faith Lutheran Social
Studies Fair is coming up in a little more than a month.
This
year’s Social Studies Fair will be a “Night at the Museum” event on Friday,
October 10th. Students will portray an important historical figure
from any period of time as if they were that person. Students can start thinking
about who they might like to present for this year’s fair. The person must be an
actual person (no mythological figures), someone of historical significance (no
movies or TV stars, no rock stars) and must be someone no longer living. Guidelines
will be sent home later in the week.
Picture Day Cancelled
Following
the discussion at our parent orientation meeting last Thursday, the Education
Committee has decided not to use an outside service for school photographs this
year. The PTF and the school yearbook staff will be working together on a plan
to take photographs in-house and come up with a way to share them with the
school family. Please disregard the school photography day previously
scheduled.
Thanks
to those families that participated in the Fred Meyer Community Rewards program
this last year. The
participation of twenty families raised $656.10 in rewards for our school so
far in 2014. Do you have a Fred Meyer Rewards card? Signing up for community
rewards can earn our school donations from Fred Meyer when you use your card.
Visit www.fredmeyer.com/communityrewards to sign up. (Faith
