Our Kindness Challenge starts today!

Each day, from February 7-18, consciously perform an act of kindness. It can be as small as you like; something as simple as holding the door open for the person walking behind you or taking time to thank someone who offered you help or support. There is no lower limit to kindness.

Teachers will be on the look-out to catch students in an act of kindness and heart-shaped REAL tickets will be awarded.  The hearts are also available in the classroom and outside each office to write an encouraging note or compliment to someone.  

Parents, the simplest act of an encouraging word to your teacher can do wonders to brighten their day.  Teachers are heading into report-card writing season and a kindly-spoken word may just be the catalyst they need to press on.

Proverbs 25:11 – “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.”

On Friday, February 11, the Grade 5 and 8s will once again be selling Purdy’s chocolate bars just in time for Valentine’s Day! The money raised will help to fund their year-end celebrations. You may purchase on the day OR pre-order your quantities to ensure you get what you’d like using this online form:  Purdy’s Chocolate Bars.  Standard and specialty bars available from $2-$4 per item. This form will be open until end of day Wednesday, February 9.

During our January-March we typically collect toiletries for the Union Gospel Mission (UGM) as part of our chapel offerings along with any money we collect.  With the continuing COVID restrictions it has changed what they are able to offer in their ministry to the homeless.  This year they are asking for tins of coffee, as they hand out 600-700 cups a day.  To save space in storing these we are asking families wishing to offer coffee to this ministry to hold on to the tins until February 10, at which point students can bring them to school and we can store them until UGM visits on February 17 to present our chapel message.

Once again, we are excited to partner with Jostens in developing a yearbook that will display special moments for all of us, including individual photos of our school family, as well as candid shots and amazing collages!

If you would like to order a yearbook the cost is $25.  Yearbooks can be ordered with this link: Hope Lutheran Christian School, following the ordering instructions, or using a Yearbook order form, available through the school office.  If ordering with the yearbook form payment is by cheque only (to Hope Lutheran School), no cash. The cutoff for ordering a yearbook is April 1, 2022.  Thank you for your support in ensuring we have yet another amazing yearbook to showcase our students’ memories at Hope this academic year!

You are invited and welcome to join other parents and our school administration to pray (even if you’ve never prayed before!). Please consider setting aside 30 minutes of your time at the beginning of each week to join us for Parent Prayer as we pray for our school, families, and community. 

We will be meeting outside at the elementary Campus by the main entrance. 

Every Monday from 9:00 – 9:30 am (except for holidays).
