Dear Parents,

Last week was a truly sad week for our school community.  It was also Lutheran Schools Week and I am so thankful to be in a place where we can talk about the Lord so freely and openly.  In class we spoke about Abby and how we are so sad she isn’t with us anymore, but so happy that she is in heaven, rejoicing!  Please continue to pray for Abby’s family and for our school.  Also keep in your prayers, the man that hit her.  I don’t think that there is even a word for how he feels.  Pray with your firstie.  Talk openly with them about all of this and listen to their feelings.  We are all grieving, as adults, but the kiddos are too….and they are going to grieve in their own way.  Watch for more information coming home about grief counselors.  

I thought that I would just share a few photos that I took last week for Lutheran Schools Week….enjoy!

                                                                         TWINS?!?!?

                                                                         YUM!!!!

                                            Can we do this every Monday, Miss Gallagher?!

 

                        Then later in the morning, Mrs. Hurley, Miss Jo, and the Kinders invited us down to the gym........ for a SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!   It was SO much fun and took the edge off the tense day.

            This was for Letter Day.  The firsties' letter was H.  Can you figure how they ALL wore H things?    Robby's was tough.....hint....look carefully at his shirt.....and think of a temperature..... Ha!

    Worship on Wednesday at St. John's in Midland.  Everyone had a great time at worship!  We even got to listen to Mrs. Parson's husband speak! (He is the Vicar there.)

                                       After worship we went into the gym and listened a to man sing!

 Blessings,
Miss Gallagher
