SCHOOL WEATHER INFORMATION
We have heard the news of closing early today. The weather is certainly going to cause difficulty for the next few days. We would like to provide information to you as soon as we are able.
When we hear about school tomorrow, we will also share what we will do on Friday. So, you should listen for information regarding both days if we cancel school tomorrow, Thursday. The Christmas Eve service for both congregations is still on schedule.

School buses will drop students off there as well. School buses will bring the students back after the practice.
Friday (12/23) morning, there will be no school buses running from the public school. Parents are asked to drop off the children at church. After practice ends at 10:00am, children should be picked up to go home. We will not be taking the students back to school. Our school day ends at 10:00am on Friday.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
St. Paul’s needs your help in several areas. These volunteer positions are extremely important and an opportunity to be part of something special. Contact the school if you are interested in any of these essential opportunities.
Raider Events Committee Chairperson - St. Paul’s Lutheran School is looking for a WELS or ELS person interested in becoming the chair of our Raider Events Committee. This position is critical for planning and organizing fellowship events for St. Paul’s families and staff.
Yearbook—The yearbook is done online through our photographer, Strawbridge. The online software is simple to use and the pictures will be taken for you. We just need someone with an eye to put the yearbook together.
Labels Program—St. Paul’s collects labels and receipts. The volunteer for this program will cut, count, and prepare a mailing. The result is extra money for the school. The extra money is used directly for the benefit of the students, 100%.
Remove Old Bleachers—We will be getting NEW bleachers over Christmas break. We need your help on December 26-27 starting at 7 am. Door holders, board carrying, removing nuts and bolts, etc. All ages! Call Mark Wiehert at (608)712-8218 for info.

GET TO KNOW OUR TEACHERS
Each of the teachers has provided some fun and unique facts about himself/herself. We plan to share this information so that you can make your own guess as to who might have experienced these three fun facts.
Share your thoughts on the Raider Events Committee Facebook page. We will publish the identity of the mystery teacher on the Facebook page as well.

A QUESTION FOR OUR PARENTS - PARENT MOVIE NIGHT
The Raider Events Committee is tossing around the idea of a PARENTS ONLY Movie Night. This Google form is to check and see if there would be enough interest in us hosting this event. With the new amazing sound system in the gym it is just like you are at the movie theater. Due to the great sound, we thought the perfect movie to show would be Top Gun: Maverick. Please fill out this short 2-question form (bit.ly/SPLParentNight) to help us gauge interest and plan accordingly. Full concessions would be served, possibly along with a few extra treats!
We are tentatively looking at Saturday, January 21. There would be no babysitting provided.
