Dear Parents,
It’s hard to believe
that January is almost over. Between having a few snow days and
watching the
Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl, time has flown by!
The students are
having a great time celebrating Lutheran Schools week. We have two days left:
Tomorrow - Theme: “Faith Fully” Special
Dress: Chapel Family Choice; Activity: Bible
Trivia. Friday - Theme: “Hope Fully” Special Dress:
Dress Your Best; Activity: Grandparents Day & Talent Show
starting at 10:30.
**In
addition, the K-8 grade students sing this Sunday, February 2, at the
R.D. Mize campus at the 9:15 service, only. (Earlier we had planned to also
sing at 8:00 service. This has been cancelled.)
7th and 8th
Graders Performing at the Talent Show
Our class is keeping
up with tradition and performing at the Talent Show this Friday. They
will be doing a dance to the YMCA. They’ve been practicing really hard. Please
come if you can.
Student /
Parent / Teacher Conferences Sign-up Time
In just two short
weeks, it will be time for our 2nd Semester parent teacher conferences.
They will be held
on February 13th and 14th (These are 1:00 dismissal days.) These
conferences are “student-led”. Your son or daughter will lead the conference by
discussing their strengths and weaknesses, showing you their grades, and
writing goals. Please use this SignupGenius to schedule a time: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080848ADAB2FAAFE3-studentled1
Third Quarter
Mission Project
Here is a
message from Mrs. Brunkhorst, who is heading up the mission project.
Hi, Timothy
Lutheran Families! Our third quarter mission project is underway!
This quarter, we are supporting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society by
participating in their Pennies for Patients Program! We had our
kick-off today with an assembly this afternoon. We learned all about the organization,
what our contributions will do, and how we can help.
The
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Pennies for Patients program is working
with thousands of schools across the country to raise funds for blood cancer
research and patient support services. Our school has partnered with LLS to
take on the mission of ending cancer once and for all.
There are
4 ways that your student can help:
1. Your
child can PRAY for these individuals with cancer, and for the researchers and
doctors that are searching for a cure.
2. Your
child can bring monetary donations to school. They were given a box today
to collect these materials. We will be collecting this money in each
classroom.
3. With
your help, you child can go online and join our school’s team to make an online
donation.
4. With your
help, your child can go online and join your child’s classroom team to make an
online donation.
With the
latter two, it is very easy to get signed up. Please go to this website: https://events.lls.org/pages/mid/Timothy-Lutheran-School-2020
If you choose
to join your child’s class, you just enter the last name of your child’s
teacher to get signed up.
With this,
your child will have an account and link that can be shared with friends and
family members if they would like to donate too!
If our
school raises $750, all of the classes get donuts, AND the class with the
largest percentage of money raised will get a pasta party!
We are
collecting donations until February 14th!
*Boxes and
letters were sent home Monday! Thanks!
