United Way
Please make sure if you missed last weeks staff meeting that you get your United Way form from Sally Aguilar. I would encourage each of you to give $70.00, which if every district employee gave this amount the district would meet the goal set by Mr. Bryant. They are also doing payroll deduct and it would be less than $6.00 a month if you choose this payment method.
This year, there will be participation incentives, so please jump on board, as the district has set a GOAL to raise funds for United Way of Lubbock. Every person who donates will be entered to win an iPad mini, a $100 United gift card, or a $50 Tinseltown gift card, AND, the campus/department with the HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF PARTICIPATION will win a visit from the Sheridan's treat cart! The total amount donated will not factor into this, just that you have the highest percentage of employees participating.
The Lubbock Area United Way is in the business of creating meaningful and tangible impact in our community. We help bring the community together to look at the most urgent needs and do whatever it takes to improve lives. We work to address the needs today and the issues of tomorrow. Research shows that quick-fix solutions addressing the symptoms of issues are not effective, we must address the root causes of problems in order to create lasting, positive change.
We are about people empowering people. We care deeply about the individual lives that are changed. And, we care about improving the overall quality of life in this community. The Lubbock Area United Way stands for hope and optimism.
We hold ourselves accountable, not just for action, but also for results. Lubbock Area United Way is driven by the commitment to make a real difference in the community we serve.
2016-2017 Schedule Request Parent Meeting for current 5th, 6th and 7th graders
February 16 @ 6pm in the LCMS Cafeteria, a parent informational meeting will be held regarding requesting courses and the different courses paths your child can take for the 2016-17 school year. I would highly encourage each parent to attend as we will cover questions you will have about your child's 2016-17 schedule.
Schedule request cards will need to be returned by February 19. This is something that you and your child should complete at home. Please let me know if you have any questions.
