Hello, Parents! It
has been such a fun and crazy week! I
loved meeting with each of you at conferences.
Thank you for taking the time to do that! It has been such an honor to teach your child
and to work hand-in-hand with all of you.
We are all so blessed!
Today, we had our Fall Harvest Party at Karen and Ron
Davies’ home. I am so thankful to them
for hosting and providing the pumpkins, hayride, and fun equipment. It was a beautiful day outside, and we had
fun on the zip line, in the tree house, riding the four-wheeler, jumping on the
trampoline, visiting the old schoolhouse, and playing on the playground. Thanks to the parents that helped out too. It was a super-fun day!
Other fun events:
*The first weekend of November is special because our older
girls’ volleyball team has qualified for State!! If you’re free, come out to Concordia, MO and
support our Rams. Once I have a
schedule, I will share it!
*We have a very special morning coming up - Donuts with
Dad! The morning of Wednesday,
November 7, come to school between 7:45-8:20 for breakfast with a special
guest! (Bring dad, grandpa, or the guest
of your choice!) In addition to donuts,
coffee, and milk, teachers will have an activity for students to complete with
their special guests. This is not a
mandatory event for your child to attend, but it’s awfully fun to make memories
together and start our Wednesday off on a fun note! We hope to see you there! (Guests are also more than welcome to stay
for chapel at 9:00!)
*Friday, November 9, is also a very important day. We will be holding a Veterans Day
Celebration here at the school that morning, beginning at 9 a.m. If you want to invite grandparents, aunts,
uncles, other family, and of course, any veterans you know and love, we’d love
to have you here!! Students will be
singing songs and participating in this program to honor our nation’s veterans.
*TLS AUCTION – TIMOPOLY is quickly approaching!! Set your calendars for Saturday, November 10
and join us for some fun! There are many
ways to support Timothy Lutheran School’s auction. This is our largest fundraiser of the year
and provides vital funding for our school.

Here is what we have been up to in the classroom:
Religion/Social Studies/Language Arts- We have been
learning all about Martin Luther! We
have learned about his life, the rediscovery of the Gospel message, the nailing
of the 95 Theses on the door in Wittenburg, Germany, and Martin’s life
thereafter. We will be having our
culmination activities on Tuesday. To
God be the Glory!
Next Week’s Memory:
October 30-What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not
despise preaching and His Word, but hold it sacred and gladly hear and learn
it.
November 2-THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT
Honor your father and your mother. What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not
despise or anger our parents and other authorities,
