Chapel
Service
You are invited to join us for our weekly chapel service
this Thursday, December 11th from 8:30 to 9:00 a.m. Our chapel
service message will be presented by Pastor Oldfield. This week’s theme: Living
for Jesus Trusting in God (Gideon). Families and friends are invited to come
join us in starting our day with the Lord.
If classes are
cancelled due to weather conditions, announcements will be posted on our
as
well as on our Faith Lutheran School Facebook page. PLEASE NOTE: WE DO NOT
AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE WHEN ASD SCHOOLS CLOSE. If ASD is closed we may yet be
open. Please call the school office or Mr. Schneck at 331-7761 if you are
uncertain.
Calendar Correction
There was an error on the school year calendar
distributed at the beginning of the school year. In February of 2015 the two
days of for the Alaska Conference of Pastor and Teachers that was scheduled on
the calendar for February 2 and 3 should instead be February 12 and 13. Again,
we will be having school classes on February 2 and 3. There will be no school classes on February 12 and 13. My apologies
for the error.
Grade 3-5 Field Trip
Grades
3-5 will be attending Alaska Junior Theater’s Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great at the Performing Arts
Center on Friday, December 12th. Mr. Zarnstorff has two spots for
chaperones available if any parents would like to join them. Please contact him
if you are interested in attending with the class.
