Move Across America
The 3-5th grade classes will began our "Move Across America" campaign on Friday February 18 from 1-1:30PM. As we run, jog, or walk our laps in PE, we will calculate the miles traveled as a group.
 
Each week we will see how far we have traveled across our country, learning facts about locations along the way. Our goal is to reach New York by the end of the year and we need your help. Lace up your walking shoes and join us around the track. Every lap walked, jogged, or ran will help us in our journey across America. 
 
We will continue this every Friday from 1-1:30PM from now until the end of the school year.  Hope to see you on the track (blacktop)!
 
Help for Haiti
The devastation caused by the recent earthquake in Haiti has been tremendous.  People who must flee their homes quickly often do not have time to pack essential items. Health kits can help refugees maintain personal hygiene while living in exile. Items may also contribute to a new start for those who can return home.
Our school would like to help the relief effort by donating health kits to be distributed to the people of Haiti through Lutheran World Relief. 
We would like to ship the health kits on Friday March 5.  Please contact the school office 310-675-4493 ext 103 with any questions or to donate.
