As you may have heard, Pinecrest Schools will be closing all five of their campuses at the end of this school year. Do you know any families that attend Pinecrest Schools?

At Shepherd, we know that the best way to spread the word about our school is through the recommendations of our parents to family, friends, and neighbors. Please share your SOV experience with others, especially any Pinecrest families that could benefit from being part of the Shepherd family.

Shepherd is pleased to accept referrals at any time. With our open enrollment policy, students can be admitted throughout the school year.

If you know of any families looking for options for their children, please let us know. Thank you in advance.

"Havana Nights" Silent Auction & Gala

On Saturday, March 5, 2016, Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran School will hold its annual Silent Auction. This event is our most important event of the year, as it not only provides a terrific social event for our families, but also provides significant funding to special projects.

Families are requested to solicit donations from businesses they patronize. All donations need to be accompanied by the donation form. Donations are due no later than Friday, February 19, 2016, or they will not be able to be used in the event.

Attached are the Request Letter and Donation Form for our Annual Silent Auction. Please take the letter to your favorite restaurant, play place, store, salon, massage person, etc. and request a donation to be used at our event. We are a 501(c)(3), and donations are tax deductible. The more variety of items we have, the better the event will be.

Thanks in advance for your help!
