Sherry has them in the teacher’s workroom.

Thank you for supporting our school fundraiser!

Thank you parents for your prompt payment
of our book/registration fees. This money is
used to purchase books and supplies for the
students. St. Paul Lutheran does not want
finances to stand in the way of Christian
education for the children of our congregation
and community; that is why we do not charge
tuition. The cost for operating our school last
year was $431,132 or $5513 per student.
Anyone wishing to assist with covering these
expenses may make a tax deductible contribution at any time. Just send your contribution to Mr. Brauer.
Thank you!

Coming home today are the order forms for the
school shirts. The Parents’ Association provides
each student one t-shirt used for class field
trips every two years at no cost to the families. We need to know your student’s shirt size by Wednesday, August 30th. REMEMBER – these shirts are for 2 years. Please consider how much your student may grow over that time.

Thank you Barb Erks and the School Board
(Chris Ziegler, Chad Hoffschneider, and Deanna
Slawnyk) for the wonderful cook-out lunch served during our Eclipse Viewing Event last Monday. We received many compliments as we
shared in food, fellowship, and viewing of this spectacular natural event supplied to us by God’s wonderful creation.

We will need a THURSDAY band driver
