Our Mission is Fishin’ 

Prayer Cards - Each morning our teachers meet for devotions as we prepare for our day. We also regularly pray for each of our students. The students we prayed for this week included: Kirk Nahrwold (1^st), Gavin Keller (5^th), Madison Swanson (6^th), and Elliot Gunderman (6^th).

WLS Open House – Woodburn Lutheran School will hold an Open House this Sunday, February 8^th, from noon until 3:00. Please share this information with any of your friends who may be interested in Woodburn Lutheran School for next year.

Snow Days – We have now had a total of five Snow Days. These five days will need to be made up. However, if we have any future weather related days off, we will be able to ask for waivers from the Indiana Department of Education. The final day of school at this time will be Thursday, June 4^th. Even if we miss another five days, that will only move our final day to Friday, June 5^th, which is also our graduation day. The groundhog may have seen his shadow, but we are all hoping for an early spring.

Fish Fry Committee Meeting -  Tuesday, February 10^th at 7:00 will be the first Fish Fry committee meeting.  Committee members:  McConnell, Meyer, Adams, Bratten, Douglas, Gentz, Gerbers, Gerig (Tim & Susan), Gunderman, Hathaway, Hoeppner (Mark & Chris), Klopfenstein, Osborn (Jennifer), Phillips, Scharr, Swanson. 

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 with each student and we ask that they be completed and returned to school by next Friday, February 13^th.  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!

Miss Hockemeyer and Mrs. Schroeder would like to thank the girls’ basketball team for the gifts and flowers they received from the girls.  It was a very thoughtful gesture, and we really appreciate your kindness.  It was a fun season!  We enjoyed coaching you, and you made great improvements as the season progressed.  In the beginning, no one was too sure of what ‘offense’ or ‘defense’ meant.  However, at the end of our season, you all gave every bit of effort and determination, and tremendous improvements showed!  Keep playing!

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

Acolytes -  Sunday, February 8, acolyte for Zion Lutheran Church – Spencer Sharrar.

Box Tops for Education -  We will be sending in this year’s Box Tops at the end of the month.  If you have any at home, please send them in to the school office by Monday, February 23.  

Concession Workers needed -  Wrestling meets will be starting up at the end of February, and we need your help.  A Concession Worker Form is being sent home with each non-wrestling student in grades 5-8 today.  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.  The dates are February 24 and March 9.  Please fill out the paperwork and send back into the school.  Thank you.

Chapel News -  Next Wednesday’s chapel service, February 11, will be held at WLS at 8:10 a.m. Pastor Adams will lead.  Chapel offerings for the months of February and March will be designated to Hope Center for unwanted pregnancies to help with milk, bottles, and diapers.
