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: Andrew Worman (1^st), Alex Swanson (3^rd), Dawson Knapp (2^nd), and Abigail Gentz (K).

Open House – Anticipating that we will still be having classes next year, we will hold an Open House to show new families our WLS building and classrooms on Sunday, February 8^th, from noon until 3:00. This Open House will be part of a larger Open House Day for all of the Lutheran schools in the Ft. Wayne area. You may begin to see and hear more about this event on television, in newspapers, and on the radio. If any or your friends who would like to visit our school, please let them know about this Open House afternoon.

 JV Basketball – This has been a busy week for our boys’ JV basketball team. With a few makeup games and a regular game, they finished their season with three games in a row. Once again we congratulate them for their effort and thank the coaches for working with our students.

Thank you so much for taking a donation for our family.  I really do appreciate it.  Caroline is truly an amazing girl.  She has been there for my kids in a way that I am forever grateful to her.  God Bless You, Krista Gorrell

Dave & Beth Hoeppner -  On Tuesday Dave and Beth Hoeppner flew out of Chicago on their way to India.  Please  pray for them to have a smooth transition to their new job.   We will be posting updates periodically from them.

SCRIP NEWS –We have a couple gift cards left over from Christmas time that are on-hand and we would like to get rid of them.  Lowes we have $25 and Red Lobster/ Olive Garden  2 at $25.  The Red Lobster/Olive Garden card is wonderful because it can be used at either place.  We are still selling scrip at Zion and Christ Churches on Sundays, and in the kitchen everyday that school is open from 7:45 to 9:00.
