CHRISTMAS EVE CANDLELIGHT SERVICES

Hello Laurel Hall Families and Staff,

We have two worship opportunities for our Laurel Hall Community and Emmanuel Lutheran Church on Christmas Eve.

At 5:00pm, a service of Lessons and Carols designed specifically for children and families.  The youth of our church and school will be leading the service, which will include the presentation of a living Nativity, along with, lots of special music,  singing, and the lighting of candles. The 7:00pm service will be a traditional setting with candles and carols.  Our choir will help lead this service, which will also include Holy Communion.

USED UNIFORM SALE
It’s that time of year when we get to spend less $$$ instead of more by attending the Used Uniform Sale!!!! We always have a variety of gently-worn uniform pieces, sweatshirts, t-shirts and misc. pieces to help get you freshened up for the New Year!
Each uniform piece is $4, jerseys are $5 and items that are brand new with tags are $7.
For even more savings, bring us your own gently-used pieces (none of those pasta sauce white shirts!!) and get $1 off your purchase for every piece you turn in. To pay EVEN LESS, sign up to help at the Sale and get $2 off per piece, PLUS your service hours: https://www.trackitforward.com/site/67261/event/514915.
PLEASE NOTE: The only NON-DENNIS uniform items we CAN accept are pants and possibly some girls’ sweaters. We look forward to getting those kiddos into something they haven’t grown out of yet!

If you have Middle Schoolers looking for service hours, we can use them, too! We can take three (3) 6th graders from 9am-10am, and three (3) 7th/8th graders 11am-1pm. Please note that you MUST contact us ahead of time to secure these spots for your Middle Schoolers and you cannot sign them up through Track it Forward --Service Hours credit will only be given to the students on the list we give Mr. Evans.

SILENT AUCTION 
As we head into the holidays and anticipate taking advantage of some great deals out there during post Christmas and New Year sales, etc.; it’s not too early to start thinking about your donations to this year’s Silent Auction which will begin the week preceding the Spring Gala! We encourage every Laurel Hall family to contribute to their Class Basket, as well as assist in procuring unique items and experiences that inspire generous bidding.
 
  • Here are some items we hope you’ll help us find that will increase the excitement and success of this year’s auction. (CLICK HERE)
  • Please see the attached list of Class Basket themes along with Amazon Wish Lists for inspiration and easy shopping. (CLICK HERE)
The Silent Auction earned $22,000 for Laurel Hall last year and would not have been a success without the generous support of our families and community. If you have any questions, please email Cara Rule at crule@rcgla.net or Rebeccah Kirkpatrick at msrbush@aol.com .  
Thank you!!

ASB WINTER CHARITY
Worthy of Love has been throwing incredible birthday celebrations for children experiencing homelessness in DTLA for over 5 years. When we started our monthly birthday bash there were 15-20 kids (in the only shelter that allows children in Skid Row). Now there are over 250 children staying at the Union Rescue Mission. Our need for support is greater than ever.
We strive to bring hope to homeless children. We believe children deserve to be reminded of their value and potential. We believe by showing them they are worthy of love, they will be motivated to pursue their dreams.
Each and every month since January 2013, the Worthy of Love monthly birthday celebrations have allowed the deprived children living at the Union Rescue Mission a temporary reprieve from the stress associated with not having a place to call home.
 
EASY WAYS TO HELP LAUREL HALL
EARN MONEY!

Two super easy ways to earn money for Laurel Hall:

1) Ralphs: If you have a Ralphs Rewards card, you can go to Ralphs.com to register your Rewards account and then select Laurel Hall as your Community Program. Linking Laurel Hall to your Rewards card earns money for our school every time you shop at Ralphs. Fun math fact: By spending an average of $400/month at Ralphs, you can earn Laurel Hall around $150/year. If just 100 families enrolled, that’s $15,000! AND...ask your co-workers/family members to enroll too! IMPORTANT: This program requires you to re-enroll every 12-months in order for contributions to continue to go to Laurel Hall School.

 

2) Amazon Smile: If you log into your Amazon account via www.smile.amazon.com you can select "Emmanuel Lutheran Church-Laurel Hall School" and Amazon will donate money to our school when you make purchases using www.smile.amazon.com.

How easy is that?!
