Message from Mrs. Barnhouse
Faith Families:
On Wednesday, we are blessed to celebrate veterans as we come together in chapel. The sacrifice our veterans and current servicemen make to protect and preserve freedom in our country and world through their vocation is honored and we have the opportunity to thank them. What a blessing!
As we honor our veterans, may we also remember the sacrifice given when Jesus willingly went to the cross for us. He provided the once and for all rescue that each of us need when He rose again three days later. We certainly don’t deserve this gift, and He gave it willingly out of love for us. May we live our lives in the knowledge of this ultimate gift Jesus gave, as we celebrate those who serve our country.
Thanks be to God for His sacrifice, and for those who continue to sacrifice through their vocation and service!

Heathy Children Play Outside
It is the practice of Faith Lutheran School to have students play outdoors unless obvious weather conditions prevent us from going outside to play. Please be sure students are prepared to play outside with appropriate clothing for the weather conditions (coats, hats & gloves). If there is snow on the ground, students will need boots and snow suits/pants to play in the snow!
