Dear Laurel Hall Parents:
This school year will come to a close in four short months and it is time to make preparations for the 2020-2021 school year. In an effort to ensure a more rapid and accurate account of future student enrollment numbers – in particular for the purpose of establishing a budget and making informed personnel and programmatic decisions, we are streamlining the once cumbersome process of re-enrollment.
Beginning this year, you will be considered enrolled for the 2020-2021 school year if you are currently enrolled at Laurel Hall School. You will not have to click on a re-enrollment link and fill out all of the enrollment and registration packet information. You will simply be automatically billed for the enrollment fee on your March statement.
By April 1, you will receive another email with a link on the website’s registration page for you to update all registration information (emergency contacts, address change, acceptable use agreement, handbook agreement etc.)
If you are not planning on returning to Laurel Hall School for the 2020-2021 school year, you must contact the school and notify admissions coordinator, Carrie McSherry by Feb 21, 2020.
Regards,
Jay Guidetti
Laurel Hall Principal

It’s January and our Laurel Hall Spring Gala Silent Auction solicitation letter has already gone out to potential donors!
We’ve also been getting requests from some parents for a copy so that they can do the same.
As you know, 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 for Silent Auction. So, if you think your intended donation might take a few weeks to procure (things like tickets, autographed items, etc.), our solicitation letter and donation form (et al.) are on our brand-new
Spring Gala & Silent Auction page:
https://www.laurelhall.org/community/pto/spring-gala
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!!

EMMANUEL LUTHERAN 75TH ANNIVERSARY:
LOOKING FOR PHOTOS AND SLIDES
|
|
|
Anniversary sub-committees are planning activities and creating budgets for our 75th anniversary. The history sub-committee is already hard at work. Anyone with photos or slides of Midoriland weekends, youth events, choir parties, or any other church, Laurel Hall or ECC function since 1995 can help us by submitting digital copies along with identification of the individuals in the shots. Please send your PDF or JPG to tsbratcher@earthlink.net. If you only have a print or slide, we’d like to borrow it long enough to get it digitized. Thanks!
ELATE will be presenting a staged reading of “Mr. Roberts” in the Parish Hall during July. Be on the lookout for audition notices in the next few months. Contact Jeff Zimmer at senorsock8@netzero.net for more information.
Carol Bratcher is recruiting singers for the anniversary choir to sing at our special worship on Sunday, 9/20/2020, at 10AM. You can reach Carol at carolbratcher@earthlink.net to learn more. As we move into spring, she will be staffing a table on the patio each Sunday where you can sign up as well.
We are happy to hear your suggestions, questions and comments regarding our 75th anniversary. Contact Marshall Bowen (marshallbowen@gmail.com) or Denise Vanzago (dmvanzago@gmail.com), co-chairs of the 75th anniversary planning committee.

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?!
