3rd Grade Eagles in Action 2022
Our school theme verse this year is Making Disciples for Life from Matthew 28:19-20. Eagles in Action service projects will give us all the opportunity to live that verse this year and in training for life as followers of Jesus. During this school year, 3rd grade will use chapel offerings we collect in August and September to purchase food and non-food items each month for the LaGrange Area Food Pantry. Snap or Link cards don’t cover items like toothpaste, shampoo, soap, deodorant, toilet paper, or diapers. So each month, we’ll focus on one non-food item to buy and donate. We also use a portion of the money each month to purchase sale items like cereals, pastas, and canned goods. Thank you for helping us serve in our community, and grow in our faith as disciples of Jesus.
We are collecting food pantry items this Sunday at Meals to Go. Look for a basket at Door A and also the gym door by the stage for drop off. Suggestions might be: shampoo, canned goods, diapers, cereals, cake or brownie mixes, oil for cooking. Thank you for your support!

7th Grade Eagles in Action October 2022
The seventh grade kicked off their Eagles in Action month by leading the school in chapel this morning. Later this month, we will be helping the organization Operation Support Our Troop by filling stockings with goodies for our servicemen and women. Our kids sewing club So Kids, Sew has been making some of these stockings after school on Monday afternoons. The 7th grade class will be collecting specific goodies for these care packages, along with making Christmas ornaments. Monetary donations collected during chapel will go to offset the shipping costs of the very generous care packages as they are shipped around the world!
