Life Days Planning Committee needs YOU to help organize and lead!
Life Days 2022 is just five weeks away…
If you want to participate in leadership aspects of Life Days 2022, we are looking for some leaders/organizers in certain areas (see below). The Life Days Planning Committee (Dar Beachy, Josh Horning, Breeana Knoll, Hillary McDannald, Amanda Stribling, Adele Wheeler) would be glad for you to jump into a leadership role! Contact a committee member (before we call you!)
Who is needed for Life Days 2022?
First of all…. EVERYONE is needed! Life Days 2022 is a HUGE part of the year!
But in particular, we will be looking for people to lead in the certain areas:
Meal planning - Friday night (Oct 14) food stand, Saturday (Oct 15) Breakfast;
Procuring Auction Items for our online, silent and LIVE auctions!
Most areas are “traditional” in that we aren’t starting from scratch. But we need
NEW people to jump in and help volunteer, work together, lead!
Office Reminder - turn in paperwork and make payments!
If you haven’t yet completed registration paperwork, signed and turned in documents, paid fees or tuition, please do so in a timely manner. Mrs. Westley will be contacting you about them, but we are always happy to have you contact the office first! We do ask that tuition payments are made in a timely manner - October 1 is coming up in just a few weeks, and that means the 3rd payment (monthly payment K-12) or second payment (PreK) is due soon!
Construction Update… Concrete Floor coming soon! - Volunteers for Saturday?
Preparation is happening this week and if materials come in as we hope, we’ll be ready to start pouring concrete for the floor of our new high school building late next week. Preparation will include laying insulation and rods, then subfloor hot water tubing. If you are available this Saturday (Sept 10), we’ll be working in the 8:30-11:30 am time frame. We could probably use 3-5 people for this. Another task could be tearing apart some wooden boxes to use the lumber later (hammers/nail pullers/pry bars needed). Feel free to contact Mr. Horning, or just stop by!
From the Principal's Desk
Life Days is a tradition unlike any other in our school. Established in 2008, our first school year, this fall will be the 15th Life Days event. It’s a time of fun, fellowship, food, activities… so much! If you are new to our school, you may not know what to expect. In fact, with the very different ways that Life Days operated over the past two years, Life Days 2022 activities may be new to a LOT of our families. If you want to know more, be sure to keep your eyes and ears open over the next few weeks as Life Days preparation rolls out. Get involved! Life Days is a great way to support the school and to help keep our tuition costs manageable. Please pray for the planning, invite your family and friends, and absolutely….. get involved!
Blessings!
Mr. Horning
