- Who wants to help make BANKET? I need about 7-10 volunteers to make Banket for the craft show. Our work bee date is Wednesday, Oct. 30, at 7:00 pm. I can show you how to do it. It is fun and easy.

- HELP NEEDED TO MAKE APPLE PIES - Please consider signing up to make Apple Pies. The pie work bee will be Wednesday, Oct. 30. We know it's a very busy time of year, but many hands make light work! If you are unable to work an entire time slot, it's okay. Please sign up anyway, and let us know the time you can be there. New families, this is a great way to meet other LCS parents! Sign up even if it's just for the time your preschooler is in school. And ask grandparents! They are great helpers! Thank you! Any questions? Contact Shelly Tubbs - shellytubbs@yahoo.com.

TECHNOLOGY
Our school is looking for interested parents to serve on our school's technology committee. Specifically, we are looking for interested parents who have talents and understanding in the area of computer equipment, systems, etc.
Our technology committee consists of a cross section of teachers and parents. This year the committee anticipates planning for the future use of technology in our school and renewing a master plan for necessary hardware and system upgrades.
Do you have an interest in helping to shape these plans? If so, please contact Mr. DeYoung or Mr. Bonnema for more information.
