CHRISTMAS CAROLING - Wednesday afternoon, December 19, our 1st-8th grade students will be going out into the community and singing Christmas Hymns, Songs, and Carols, both to our congregations' shut-in members, as well as to a number of nursing homes and assisted living communities.

We'll be taking 2 larger groups in buses to some of the larger facilities, but we'll also be taking 3 smaller groups to homes and other smaller facilities. We're asking for drivers to transport children that wouldn't be riding on the buses. If you are able and willing to drive, please contact Mr. Steinmetz by next week. If you'd like to go along, but not drive, please also let Mr. Steinmetz know. Thank you!


DIVINE CALL - On Tuesday, December 11, SVLS extended a call to Mr. Benjamin Edmundson to teach 5th-6th grade and to be our Athletic Director. He is currently serving at Arizona Lutheran Academy, one of our WELS high schools. Please keep him in your prayers as he deliberates where to serve next school year.


RAM CHARGER The fall issue of the 'Ram Charger' was sent home last week. This newspaper, written by the seventh and eighth graders, highlights events from our first months of school. An electronic version can also be found linked to our facebook page. Check it out!

SCRIP Weekly scrip orders will be processed:
Monday, Dec. 17th
Then we will take a break from ordering over Christmas break and resume with weekly orders on Monday, Jan. 7th

SECOND QUARTER MISSION OFFERINGS will be directed toward the Vulnerable Children's Foundation, in partnership with FVL Schools, but with a slightly different focus. In Zambia, it costs about $250 to support one student for one year. Along with FVL Schools, our 2nd quarter mission offerings will go toward sponsoring students for the year in Zambia. So far this quarter the children have given $228.45 towards sponsoring students.
