Hope White Elephant: Gr. 7/8 Event
Our grade 7/8 entrepreneur class will be doing a game called the ‘Hope White Elephant’. This is a game where you exchange gifts in a fun way. We will be doing this on Thursday December 14th at lunch in the gym from 11:45 to 12:15. Students will have to pay an entry fee of $1 with a wrapped gift up to $10 in value. The gift should be of good taste, suitable for students, and not food related. Students should bring their gifts and entry fee to Linhan or Shorodip in the grade 7/8 class. The deadline for the gift and the money is Tuesday December 12th. Students that are not part of the game could come and watch the game. The rules of the game will be distributed to participating students.

Just in time for our wonderful West-coast winter weather, the official Hope Lutheran Christian School umbrellas have arrived! These are amazing umbrellas with an extra large canopy for maximum coverage. They will be selling for $25 each, and available for families to purchase from the school office, at both campuses.
