Please see Jump Rope for Heart’s website at www.jumpropeforheart.ca for online donations, as well as an invitation you can send to friends and family online. Our school will be participating in “Jump Rope” on Wednesday, January 25 as part of our Spirit Week. Children will be doing different skipping stations. If you have any questions, please see Mrs. Stewart or email her at jstewart@hopelcs.ca.
Hope Lutheran Church Sunday School “God Walks”
Hope Lutheran Church Sunday School invites school families to the next “God Walk” on Sunday, January 29. God Walks are an opportunity for children age 3 – grade 6, and their parents, to get out and about to look for God in our community.
The upcoming God Walk will have the group going on a tour of the City of Coquitlam Animal Shelter, located at 500 Mariner Way, Coquitlam. (Turn West off Mariner Way on Service Centre Driveway, just North of Austin Avenue)
If attending, please meet at the animal shelter at 9:45 am. The event will finish at 10:30 am.
If you would like to make a donation, dry cat food would be greatly appreciated (the brand Natural Balance or anything healthy from the pet store or vets office).
If your child will be attending, parent participation is mandatory. God Walks are about one long, so that students can return to Hope Lutheran Church for service or Sunday School. Any questions can be directed to the school/church office: 604-942-5322.
Winter Dress
The students will be going outside during recess times so please make sure that your child comes to school with a warm, winter jacket, hat, gloves/mittens/scarf, and boots. Students can wear white undershirts under their school shirt and long underwear or tights under pants. Just a reminder that pants are available through the uniform store for girls from K-12. Outer ski pants may also be worn outside at recess to keep legs warm. Black leggings are not to be worn in class. Thank you for helping your children in being prepared for the cold, winter weather.
