MESSAGE FROM PARENT TEACHER LEAGUE
CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
"Jesus, Savior of the WORLD" will be presented by our K-8 students on Friday, December 11 at 7 PM in the Fellowship Hall. Countries celebrate this Wondrous Birth in a variety of ways. Our children are researching these traditions and are rehearsing songs and carols from these cultures. They will be singing, playing handbells and band instruments. Each class will share a country's tradition. Students should dress in their Christmas best (no jeans or tennis shoes please). At 6:45 students in grades K-4 meet in their classrooms and grades 5-8 in the music room.
Please invite family and friends to join us for this presentation!

2016-2017 School Year!
At our last School Board meeting, we passed two incentives for parents! First, any family that re-enrolls during the early enrollment period will have their children's tuition rates frozen at the 2015 level. This will freeze that family's tuition for their whole educational experience at St. Paul, as long as they re-enroll each year during early re-enrollment period.
Second, our school grows through word of mouth! If you bring a new family to St. Paul Lutheran School next year, we will show our gratitude by paying your your last month's tuition bill for you (up to $600)! More details to follow or see me for more information about either of these "Thank You" opportunities.
Lastly, we are planning on splitting our 3rd & 4th grade class next year if we have 10 students enrolled for 3rd grade!

ST. PAUL LUTHERAN SCHOOL CHRISTMAS GIFT GIVING
At this time of the year, we focus on the gift that God gave us at Christmas …
Jesus, our Savior! What an amazing gift! We have been so blessed!
This year the students of St. Paul Lutheran School will be giving gifts as well. These gifts will go to help an organization and group of people that are not as fortunate as we are. This year our gifts will go to the Ronald McDonald House in Austin. Each child is asked to bring at least two items from the attached list. Bring the gifts to school unwrapped. The second, fifth and sixth graders will deliver them to the Ronald McDonald House on Friday, December 18. Our prayer is that the students will experience the joy of giving! Bring your items to school by Wednesday, December 16th.
These are the “top 10” items on the wish list.
