SCHOOL NEWS

Although the school year is coming to a close, it is still a busy time for the students and teachers. We thank Mrs. Hennig for all her work on our spring musical, and we thank all who attended.

We will be having registration in a few weeks. If you know of anyone interested in a Christ centered education, please have them contact the school office. We will be glad to talk with them.

Along with registration, we will be having our church/school picnic on May 18. This is a wonderful time for our school and church families to have time to visit and get to know each other better. Please plan to attend. The PTL is busy planning activities so all will have an enjoyable time.

The students have been taking achievement tests. We administer these tests from Kindergarten through Grade 8. This gives us the opportunity to evaluate our curriculum, thank God where all is going well, and be able to correct any areas that can be stronger.

Looking back over the 2007-2008 school year, we realize God has richly blessed our school. We thank you, our Concordia family, for all your support. May God bless us as together we share the Good News of God’s plan of salvation with His children.

CHAPEL NEWS The May school Chapel offerings will go to the Jacksonville Deaf Ministry If you would like to make a gift you may put your gift in an envelope and mark it May Chapel Offering and send it to the church office or drop it in the offering plate.

What: Chicago Cubs at St Louis Cardinals

Cost: Tickets are $24 each (an $8 discount)

Orders are first come, first served basis.

(Watch the fireworks on the St. Louis riverfront

following the game.)- Due to an increase in the size of our order and the unavailability of the Seminary Chorus to sing for us, we have almost twice the number of tickets available this year as we had last year.  So even though we have received the same number of ticket orders as we had at this time last year, we still have a couple of hundred tickets available. You may download the order form from the website – http://www.grace-strasburg.com/cidday. Ordering deadline is Father's Day, June 15.
