It's hard to believe that the school year is winding down, and we are already planning for the next one! Chaipersons are needed for many P.T.C. activities for the 2009-2010 School Year. Please consider volunteering for one of these positions. The events can't happen without your help!
Volunteers are needed for: Fall Picnic, Father/Son Mini-Golf, Mother/Son Bowling, Annual School Auction, Fundraising (Sally Foster and Cookie Dough), Mother/Daughter Tea, Teaher Appreciation Week, and Field Day/Fun Fair. Contact Mrs. Jane Hamblin at janehamblin@gmail.com if you are interested or have any questions.
Fundraising money is hard at work at Grace Lutheran School! We recently replaced a slide on the playground, and we are in the process of getting estimates for several new computers for the school. "RenWeb" is up and running, and we hope that parents are taking advantage of this great tool to view students' grades and assignments! Also, the P.T.C. will be funding "Teacher Appreciation Week" and the "Scholastic Reading Counts" awards. A donation will be made to the "Pastor's Scholarship Fund," and we will also be funding a field day in May!
WELCOME TO GADGET'S GARAGE!

A MUSICAL THANK YOU!
Congratulations to EVERYONE who was involved in this year's musical. The performance was AWESOME! I am so proud of each and every one of you. All of you are truly gifts from God!
I want to take this opportunity to thank some folks who helped make the musical another huge success...
- Ray, Mihelle, and Jason Horsley -- "THE Orchestra" -- we couldn't do it without you: I was so happy to have live music again this year! No music, no musical! You were TREMENDOUS! Thank you for all of the hours of hard work you spent to make the performance extra special!
- Mrs. Sue Bley -- for the wonderful props, signs, artwork, set pieces, etc. Thanks for your willingness to help us out each year! You help give our performances that special touch!
- Mr. Eric Macke -- for your spotlighting expertise -- you are awesome and I really appreciate your support and help each year.
- Mrs. Susan Rand and Mrs. Anita Allwardt -- for helping with the big rehearsals with the chorus, and especially for dealing with the flags and exploding glow sticks!
