School News

Have you been to a boys' basketball game at FLS lately? As of this writing our junior varsity boys are undefeated with a record of 4-0! They are a talented group of young athletes who really play like a team. Another interesting note about our junior varsity is that they being coached by two grads from last year, Jason Holloway and Devin Olson. They're doing a great job, and we're so glad they came back to still be a part of of FLS family. Our varsity boys' basketball team also continues to work hard as a team. Their current record is 1-3, and we look forward to many more exciting games. Thank you to Trish DeLeo who is their coach. Thanks also to the Booster Club who work the concession stand so we can enjoy some treats during our home games. We have 3 home games next week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Our girls' soccer team will have their first game on Tuesday Jan. 23. Come on out and support the Flames!

Congratulations to the 57 students in grades 3-8 who made Honor Roll or Principal's List for the 2nd quarter.

What can you do with $1,000? Well if you are L.A.M.P. (Lutheran Association of Missionary Pilots) you can keep your plane flying for approx 3 weeks. One of the mission projects FLS supported the first semester was L.A.M.P. These pilots fly into remote regions of northern Canada and Alaska bringing Sunday School and Vacation Bible School materials. FLS was able to send L.A.M.P. $1,000 which will help keep their planes flying as they bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to our neighbors to the north.

Its not too early to start telling your friends and neighbors about enrolling in First Lutheran School for next year. Although registration won't begin until mid February, several new families have already been making inquiries and taking school tours in anticipation of enrolling in the spring. It is possible some of our classes will fill up quickly. If you know of people who are interested in First Lutheran School, encourage them to come by for a tour and see what a great program FLS has to offer. We will also begin having Open Houses every Thursday beginning Feb. 15. Remember we have an incentive plan for school families and church members that recommend FLS and have that family enroll.

Welcome New Students!

First Lutheran was blessed to begin its 2nd semester with 8 new students! We have a new student in Pre K 3, Pre K 4, Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 5th grade, and 6th grade. It was great to welcome back the Sweazey family who returned to us after moving back from New Hampshire. We're so glad you're here! We are also so excited to welcome our other new families to FLS as well. What a great way to begin the semester.

Its great to be back in school for the second semester. Its hard to believe the school year is already halfway over. On Wednesday during chapel we will recognize the students in grade 3-8 who achieved either the Honor Roll or Principal's List for the second grading period. In the afternoon these students are invited to a special ice cream float celebrationin honor of their academic achievement. Good job FLS students!

January 19th we will be celebrating Spirit Day. Come and join us in the CLC beginning at 1:30 p.m. to honor our girls soccer team and boys basketball teams. Our FLS cheerleaders will be leading us in cheers as well as performing a dance routine. It will be a fun time.

We are so thankful to God for all the many ways he continues to bless First Lutheran! Please continue to keep our students, families, and staff in your prayers.
