Our Mission is Fishin’

National Lutheran Schools Week – We will celebrate NLSW the first week in March, the 1^st – 8^th.  We have a number of special activities and days scheduled for this week. Parents and grandparents may want to note a few of the special days so that they can join us on the days they want to.

WLS Association Meeting Postponed – We are still working through a few budget concerns with Christ and Zion Lutheran Churches and did not feel that we would be ready to bring anything up for a vote this coming Sunday afternoon, February 22^nd. We have postponed the WLS Association meeting, therefore, until Sunday, March 15^th, at 4:00 in the WLS gym.

Book Fair at WLS -  Wednesday, March 11-13, we will be having our annual Book Fair.  This is how our school gets new books for the library.  If you are able to help by working during the school day, Wednesday- Friday, or able to work the Book Fair during the Fish Fry on Friday, March 13^th, please let Mrs. Singer or the school office know.  We appreciate your help and support. 

Family Bowling Day -    The PTL is pleased to invite our WLS families to the PTL Family Bowling Day to be held at Woodburn Lanes on March 7^th.  Sign up sheets were sent home already with each student and were due Friday, February 13^th.  If you are still interested in signing up, please complete the form and send it the to school office no later then Monday, February 23^rd.  There is no charge for our WLS families; shoe rental and bowling fees are included.  Lots of fun to be had with pizza and breadsticks served too -- we look forward to seeing you there!

Attention WLS, Christ and Zion members -   To help the school save money on paper, I’m asking anyone who would be interested in receiving the Paw Prints via email instead of the paper copy, please email Rachel at woodburnlutheran@comcast.net and let me know.  Thank you

Concession Workers needed -  Our first home wrestling meet will be next Tuesday, February 24 and we still need one more family to help with concessions.  There are only two home meets, and the other meet is Monday, March 9^th, where we will need two more families to sign up.  Even though everyone has been scheduled for the two games during the volleyball and basketball season, we’re asking for volunteers to help with the wrestling meets also.  Please call the school office if you are able to help.  The times are from 3:45 until approximately 6:00 or when the meet is over.  Please call if you are

Chapel News -  Next Wednesday’s chapel service, February 25, will be held at WLS at 8:10 a.m. Mr. Hoyer will lead.  Chapel offerings for the months of February and March will be designated to Hope Center in Fort Wayne.  The center provides free services to clients such as pregnancy tests, limited ultrasounds, education and material assistance.  Their services help save lives, heal the hurt and strengthen families.  Woodburn Lutheran is participating in their Baby Bottle Campaign collecting money.  We are also collecting baby products such as diapers, wipes, formula, and gently used baby clothing. There are extra baby bottles in the office for anyone who has spare change to donate.  Thank you for your help and support for this wonderful program.
