There will be a Kindergarten
information meeting at the school, March 10, beginning
at 7:00pm, for parents who are interested in sending their children in the
2008-2009 school year.
The Spring Auction will
be on March 7.
It will be held at the Christian Reformed Church and begin at
7:00pm. Ebenezer sponsors this auction
and encourages all families, friends, extended families, and supporters of the
school to be involved. Area businesses
have been very generous in the past when donating their services and
merchandise, but donations from families are greatly needed. Ideas for donations are limitless and
include: catered meals, cleaning services, babysitting, quilts & blankets,
needlepoint, embroidered items, toys, woodwork crafts & furniture,
pictures, pies, canned goods, baked goods, tool sets, baskets of assorted
items, trees, plants, and more. Someone
will be calling to see if you will be able to bring food, help with set up or
cleanup, or help in some other way.
Please leave this night available in your schedule and plan on attending
for an evening of fun, food, fellowship, and fundraising.
Ebenezer is planning a garage sale in the spring. As
you begin cleaning out closets, items that are still in good condition may
become someone else’s treasure at the Ebenezer garage sale. Items can be brought to the school or taken
to the home of Erica Wahlquist. Your support is greatly appreciated.
***Ebenezer is looking for someone to organize the
Fall Craft Sale. Karen Wevers has been organizing
this event for many years. If anyone is
interested in this position, please contact Karen Wevers. Karen will be available for consultation and
help (attendance at the Ebenezer meetings is not mandatory).

Milk caps & Milk Moola: The milk caps from Land O Lakes, Kemps,

School News:
*Parents
please do not allow your children to
play with anything other than the toys in the preschool room. If you are here for a meeting and are
allowing the children to stay in the preschool room, make sure they do not touch
the craft supplies or the teacher’s desk.
The children can play with the toys if they are all put away before they
leave. This is a functioning classroom
and needs to be respected and left neat &
tidy for the teacher and her students.
Thank You
*There will be an all school play
on April 18 for the 1s –8th grade students. The
students received their parts on January 9.
Please help your child learn their lines. All lines must be memorized by
