Our Mission is Fishin’ 

Prayer Cards - Each morning our teachers meet for devotions as we prepare for our day. We also regularly pray for our students and each school family. The students we prayed for this week included all of the students who did not return to WLS this year, including all of our past graduates.

School Pictures – Next Monday is Picture Day. Order sheets went home earlier this week. The students should bring them with them on Monday morning for their picture. All students will have their pictures taken, even those who are not purchasing any of the photo packages. The 2-day Preschool will have their pictures taken on Picture Retake Day which will be Thursday, October 16^th.

ISTEP Testing – With picture day next Monday, September 15^th, we will begin our ISTEP testing next Tuesday, September 16^th. This will be for all grades, 3^rd to 8^th. We should be able to finish all of the tests next week. If any students are absent for any of the testing, they will need to make up the tests the following week.

JV Volleyball – Out JV girls’ volleyball team won their first match against Unity last week. This past Monday, the girls played St. Paul’s, and also won that match. The girls are doing great. Come and cheer them on at their two matches next week. They will both be home matches: Monday against Zion, Decatur and Thursday against Bethlehem. Both matches will begin at 4:15.

Teachers’ Conference – Our teachers will be attending the Indiana Teachers’ Conference in Indianapolis on October 27 and 28. Indiana Lutheran schools will be bringing donations to the conference to help Cambodian Missionaries. Please read the attached sheet listing some of the items that they are in need of. You may bring any of these items to the school up until the Friday before the conference. We will store the items on the gym stage.  Mr. Hoyer will load them in his car and take them down to Indianapolis when he attends the conference.

Kleinhenn Fundraiser –  Catalogs and order forms were sent home today with the oldest child of PS-8.  This is a great fundraiser to help raise money for each classroom.  Bring your order forms to your relatives, neighbors, and friends.  Prizes include: 1^st place $50 Wal-Mart gift card and 2^nd place $25 Wal-Mart gift card.  The top 5 will get to go to Pizza Hut with Mr. Hoyer.
