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 Karlee Hulbert (Pre-K), Abbey Richardson (Pre-K), Kai Garrison (Pre-K), and Hannah Dietel (Pre-K).

Fish Fry/Chicken Dinner – The Fish Fry/Chicken Dinner is held tonight, Friday, March 13^th, in the WLS gym. If you don’t already have your tickets, they will also be selling them at the door.

Wrestling Meets – We finished up our home wrestling meets this past Monday. All of the final matches are away from home. Since wrestling is such a short season, the final Championship matches will be held on Saturday, March 21^st, at Wyneken beginning at 9:00 in the morning.

Track Practice Begins – Another short season is our track season. Jake Gentz will be our track coach again this year. We will include grade 4 on our team this year. The first practice will be after school on Tuesday, March 24^th. Everyone who is interested in participating in track will need to make sure they have paid their sports fee in the office. If this is your first or only sport of the school year, you will also still need to have sports medical form on file. Those are available in the office.  The first track meet of the season will be on Tuesday, April 14^th, and will take place at the Concordia Seminary track beginning at 4:00.

2^nd Grade Grandparent Reading -  There will be no 2^nd grade Grandparent reading next week, Tuesday, March 17.

Re-Enrollment Forms – We sent re-enrollment forms home this week. Please read all of that information over and return the forms to the office by next Friday, March 20^th, if possible. If you have any questions, please give Mr. Hoyer a call.

Parent Informational Meeting – With the recent decisions of the WLS Association, I would like to meet with all of the returning families on Monday, April 13^th, in the evening beginning about 7:00. By that time we will have decided on our new classroom arrangements and our staffing for next year. I would like to meet with all of those parents who may have questions or concerns about next school year.

Third Quarter Ends – Next Friday, March 20^th, will end our third quarter. Report cards will be sent home on Wednesday, March 25^th. If any parents would like to meet with their child’s teacher, please inform the school office and we will set up a time.

Blue and White Night -  Mark your calendars for the evening of Saturday, May 9^th.  WLS will be holding a Blue and White Auction to benefit the school.  More information will be coming out soon, but we wanted everyone to put that on their calendars already as an important night.

Spring Flower Sales -  Our annual Spring Plant Sale will soon begin and we need volunteers.  Students will be selling scrips to purchase flowers and plants at discount prices from The Greenhouse Effect in Antwerp, OH.  Please call the school office or Deb Lindberg if you can help.

Recycling -  Saturday, March 21, is the monthly recycling from 9-12.  Scheduled workers are:   Lucas Scharr, Tyler Knapp, Kendra Sinclair, Allison Messman, Spencer Osborn, and the following plus a parent; Gavin Keller, Caroline Hoeppner, Cheyenne Hoeppner, Madison Swanson, Buddy Douglas, Devin

Hoeppner.  

Zion Junior and Primary Choir sing at the Lenten service Wednesday evening at 7 pm.  Please meet in the Fellowship Hall at 6:45.  Christ Junior and Primary Choir also sing at the Lenten service at 7 pm. 

Grades 2^nd – 4^th will be attending Sugarbush, where they will learn the history of syrup making and gathering of sap. 

Kindergarten will be going to McMillen to learn about their general health.  They will learn what foods to eat, how to exercise, and how much sleep they need.

Chapel News -  Next Wednesday’s chapel service, March 18, will be held at Christ at 8:15 a.m. Pastor Edwards will lead.  Chapel offerings for the months of February and March will be designated to Hope Center in Fort Wayne.  Don’t forget to fill the baby bottles up with spare change and bring them into the school office. 

Target -  Thank you to all who participate in the Target “Take charge of Education” program.  We just received a check in the amount of $359.81 to put towards our PTL committee.  Here’s how it works: When you sign up for a Target card, simply tell them to designate Woodburn Lutheran as your eligible school and any time you make a purchase on that card 1% of the purchases will come back to WLS.  

Zion Youth Group - Attention  7^th & 8^th Graders!  Our next gathering will be Sunday, March 15, at 4:00 pm at Eric & Marsha Armbruster’s house.

Acolytes -  Sunday, March 8^st, acolyte for Zion Lutheran Church – Torie Moore.
