CHAPEL OFFERINGS FOR MARCH

Today, we are sending home a small green envelope with students in Grades K-5 which may be used for a Chapel offering sometime this month. Our Chapel offerings during the month of March will go to pay for the St. Paul’s radio broadcast over KWBE which will be sponsored by the students in honor of National Lutheran Schools Week.
