National Lutheran Schools Week - January 27-February 2

Next week we celebrate our school during National Lutheran Schools Week. Please note the following special events:

Sunday - Students sing "You Are My All in All" during Atonement's 10:30 worship service

Monday - PJ Day: Students can wear PJs to school. Slippers are okay for in the classroom, but please bring appropriate shoes for recess and P.E. time.

Tuesday - Music Day: Students need to bring in a sample of their favorite song or kind of music (this is part of our Music Appreciation class). Music can be on a CD, flash drive, MP3 player, etc. And if necessary, I can download a song from iTunes - just provide title and artist. Students can also wear a music-related shirt as long as it's appropriate for our school. Use your discretion.

Wednesday - School Spirit Day: Students need to wear their purple, gold, and white school colors. We will be taking a new all-school photo this day, so dress in your Atonement best!

Thursday - Sports Day: Students can wear clothes associated with a favorite team or sport. Again, use your discretion as some uniforms may not be appropriate school attire.

Thursday - Science Fair: Come visit our Science Fair in the Fellowship Hall in the church building from 3-4:15. We will have a display about our mealworm investigation in Science.

Friday - Hat Day: Students can wear a hat to school and in the classroom all day. Hats will need to be removed for Chapel.

ATTENTION!

Elementary students are singing "You are My All in All" this Sunday at Atonement's 10:30 a.m. worship service. This is in celebration of National Lutheran Schools Week. Please plan to join us.
