Headmaster's Greeting |
WITH GRATITUDE
It was a great Fall Festival! The food was delicious, the auction items were enticing, the rides and games were delightful, and smiles were ubiquitous. The only crying I heard all night was at closing time. It was truly an evening of childhood happiness and family togetherness.
We at Memorial Lutheran School are grateful to all of our parents, faculty, and helpers for making the Fall Festival such a success. Thanks to all who helped with the clean-up at the end, all who worked at the concession stand, ticket sales, rides, and other booths, the barbecue and potato salad cooks, the people who set up in advance, and those who planned the evening.
We especially want to thank Marte Stangeland, our PTL President. Marte spent countless hours planning, calling, contracting, and arranging the events for the evening. She would be the first to admit that she couldn't and didn't do it all alone, so we also thank all those on her Fall Festival Committee.
Our thanks seem diminutive compared to all the work that went into that one evening. But your help and cooperation is greatly appreciated as we work together for the children.

Open House This Sunday 2 to 4 p.m. | |
Teachers will be in their classrooms this Sunday, November 11, from 2 to 4 p.m. to meet prospective families and current families interested in learning more about the classes and curriculum. Check-in is in the Commons area, and several of our middle school students will give tours. This Open House is a great opportunity to come learn more about the classes your child will have next year and to see parts of the school you may not have seen yet! The teachers love talking about the curriculum and what children learn in their classrooms. If you have questions, please be sure to email LouAnn Webber at lwebber@mlchouston.org. |
