CALVARY NEEDS YOUR HELP!

CLS Teachers need your help on Tuesdays and Fridays.  

 

We are in need of parent volunteers to assist in covering recess breaks 
(9:55 a.m. - 10:15 a.m.), and then for lunch recess (11:25 a.m. - 1:15 p.m.), especially on Tuesdays. Please see the school secretary if you are able to help.  
Remember, your time helping CLS helps you to deduct those PPP hours.  
It is also a wonderful time to see your child at lunch and at play with their friends and classmates and for your child to see you helping out at Calvary.

GIVING THANKS AT CALVARY LUTHERAN

November is traditionally the month we give thanks.  Surely, we are blessed year round, but this is the month we pause to thank God for the many blessings He has bestowed upon us and our families.

And we certainly blessed at Calvary Lutheran Church and School with a great pastor, Pastor Smith, Superintendent Dr. C, Principal Luehrs, the teachers and staff.  If their ministry has positively impacted your life in some way, we encourage you to let them know.

Your stories are like a joy infusion, as they hear of God's power completely transforming lives, healing those that medical science has given up on, mending marriages, and giving hope to the downtrodden.

On Wednesday, we had many of our alumni students return to Calvary and what a joy to see their faces, see and hear how Calvary and the teachers have impacted their lives today.

YOUR stories are the inspiration that encourage us as we work diligently to win the lost for Christ.  May you be richly blessed for sharing the great things God has done in your life!  Thank You!
