Third quarter grades should
have arrived in your mail. If you have any questions about those grades,
don't hesitate to contact the appropriate teacher(s).
SERVANT
EVENT, PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES ARE ARPIL 6
April 6 is a morning-only schedule. Students will travel to several area nursing
homes in the morning for a school-wide servant event, coordinated by student
council. There will be no school in the afternoon to allow
for Parent/Teacher Conferences,
running
1:00-8:00

PFA SALAD LUNCHEON, QUILT AUCTION, AND STYLE SHOW IS APRIL
1; EASTER BASKET DONATIONS NEEDED
"Easter Parade,"
the annual PFA Salad Luncheon, Quilt Auction, and Style Show, will be held
Saturday, April 1, 2006. With the seasonal "Easter Parade" theme,
we are asking for donations of Easter baskets or items for baskets that will
be used as centerpieces during the event and be available for purchase. Your
basket may be traditional, or it could be filled with painted Easter eggs,
a spring
plant, or something else creative. People can bid on donated Easter baskets
to take home. Do you have a basket or basket items to donate? Is so, please
email freshman parent Colleen Larson at colleen1@veepvolunteers.org or
phone her at 651-405-8788 during the next week. All proceeds will go to projects
supported
by the PFA.
SENIOR PARENT MEETING ON APRIL 3
On April 3 at 7 p.m., senior parents will meet to put the finishing touches
on the senior party. It is important for all to attend, so everyone is
aware of the plan for the evening. If you have any questions please contact
John Venzke or Vicki Dice.
CALENDAR CHANGE
The original calendar for 2005-06 showed Monday, May 8 as
a day of no school for teacher inservice. Since then, the grade school track
meet has been scheduled for Friday, May 12, and we will have no school on
that day instead. Monday, May 8, will be a regular school day, not a day off.
Please
check and adjust your calendars!
"FEED
MY STARVING CHILDREN" PARTNERS WITH THRIVENT AT BOTH CA CAMPUSES
IN MAY
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is donating $50,000 to Feed My Starving Children
to sponsor a volunteer event which will involve 1,800 volunteers packing
meals at three different locations on May 6, 2006. Both the Bloomington
and Roseville campuses will be host sites. Soon,
volunteers will have an opportunity to sign up for this event. In preparation,
Thrivent
is
looking to have a committee for our site made up of people from local Thrivent
Chapters, local Lutheran congregations, and several students and parents.
If you are interested in serving on the committee for the Bloomington site,
please
contact
Shelly
Novotny, Director of Communications, at shelley.novotny@concordiaacademy.com or
651-484-8429, ext. 108.
PARENT HELP NEEDED WITH SPRING MUSICAL SET CONSTRUCTION
Several parents are needed to help with set construction for the spring musical,
"Schoolhouse Rock Live!" A number of large, oversize prop cut-outs need to
be created, so help is especially needed from people comfortable and skilled
with a jigsaw. If you can help, please contact Chris Roth (chris.roth@lutheranhighschool.com or ext. 311).
BLOOD
DRIVE COMING IN APRIL
Donors are needed for the Blood Drive at CA-Bloomington on April 5, Wednesday,
7:30-10:30 a.m. Any parents who are able to give that day would be greatly appreciated.
Students must be at least 17 years old to give, be in good health, and eat breakfast
that morning. You must be signed up in advance. If plans change, it is okay to
call and cancel that day. Our goal is 30 donors. Thanks for your help!
OPEN
HOUSE IS APRIL 3
An open house for prospective students and families will be held on April 3
at 7:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity for people who were unable to
attend the fall or winter open house to learn more about at CA-Bloomington.
Please
help spread the word!
SENIOR
SHIRT RE-ORDERS AVAILABLE
Seniors who did not order a senior shirt earlier this year may re-order them
for $15 each. Orders must be turned in to Mr. Roth by Tuesday, March 28.
MOMS IN TOUCH MOMENT
Our Moms in Touch group has started praying about the Fruits of the Spirit.
This week we prayed about love. We prayed about loving God with all our
heart,
soul,
and strength and loving our neighbors as ourselves. We prayed that our
children may know "how wide and long and high and deep the love of
Christ is, and know this love that surpasses knowledge." (Ephesians
3:18, 19) If you have a moment, you might pray the same for your child.
