IMPORTANT: There will be no Home Bulletin for March 17.  Please have information submitted for March 24 before Easter vacation.

 

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.  In the past current kindergarten students have put on a short performance.  This year, because there are no current kindergartners, we are asking the 1st grade students to perform.  They have already started practicing and the 2nd grade students are welcome to join them but it is not mandatory.  Please keep Monday evening, March 10, open on your calendar so you can attend this event.  Thank you

 

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).

 

Coffee Break: This is a community 6-week bible study for women.  It started on February 28 and meets at 9:30am.  If anyone would like to join in, please contact Kara 684-4404 or Sylvia 684-2195.

 

Dokime Christian Academy Fundraiser: The students are baking and selling delicious apricot and cardamom braids.  Orders can be placed with Maribel Hokanson or Jane Raihala by March 16.  The braids will be ready for delivery the following week, just in time for your Easter celebration.  A cardamom braid is $8 and an apricot braid is $10.  Thank you for your support.

 

Aluminum can update: Last week a load of cans, weighing 220 lbs, was redeemed for $187 for BCS.  So far this school year, there have been 6 loads, 1,620 lbs, and $1,167 for BCS.  Thank you very much for everyone’s contribution of cans.

 

Noon recess volunteers:  The time is 11:35am to 12:40pm and includes monitoring the lunchroom and watching over the students during recess after lunch. Any questions or if you would like to volunteer, call Mike or Karen Hollabaugh at 796-2659 or email at rntrucker@yahooo.com  (note this is a new address).
