Dear Parents,

I want to thank and congratulate our students who participated in the Lutheran Elementary School Tournament this past weekend. They all did a great job and represented our school well. The following is a summary of awards recipients:

1. Re-Enrollment Application Form: Application forms are due back to the school office no later than Tuesday, February 28th. You must return the form with a $50.00 application fee for each student. These forms will not be accepted without the fee. Extra forms are available in the school office.
   
   If you have a child going into the Pre-4 program please complete the blue form. Those students entering grades K-8 need to complete the salmon color form.
   
   Kindergarten Entrance: Those students in our Pre-4 class wishing to enter Kindergarten in the fall need to also include an additional $50.00 Gesell Screening fee. This should be paid along with the enrollment fee. No child will be Geselled without this fee being paid.
2. Crab Feed: Thank you to everyone who attended this year's crab feed. We netted close to $17,000.00 with the ticket sales, tuition raffle, wine cellar and auction. Congratulations go to our tuition raffle winners: $1,500.00-The Hollabaugh Family, $1,000.00-The Griffin Family, and $500.00- The Yeager Family. Thank you to everyone who made this evening a success!
3. PALS: Parents please remember that only those adults authorized to pick up your children may sign them out of PALS unless you have sent authorization in writing. Please do not send another child in (under 18) to sign your child out. It is for their protection and security for the school.
   
   Hours: PALS opens no earlier than 7:30 am and closes at 6:00 pm. We will not allow your child to come into PALS before 7:30! You will be charged $1.00 per minute per child if they are picked up after 6:00 pm.
4. Lost & Found: The number of items in Lost & Found is overwhelming. Stop by room 10 and see if there is anything that belongs to your children. Please label your children's items so we can try to return them. Items not claimed will be donated on a monthly basis.
5. Napa Valley Water Polo: Spring Water Polo and Stingrays Camp is being offered to all students 14 & under. This camp is for beginning and intermediate players. The season is on Tuesday & Thursday evenings beginning March 28th thru May 18th at Napa High School. For registration information, you may pick up a flyer in our school office or go to nvwp.net.
6. Wine Country Aquatics: Wine Country Aquatics of Napa is now accepting new swimmers! All ages welcome. For more information, you may call Jess Rennie at 226-2882 or pick up a flyer in the school office.
7. The Scoop From Scrip: Staples scrip has arrived and we are fully stocked with plenty of Scrip for all your needs. If you shop Safeway, Browns Valley Market, or Vallerga's remember to stop by every week and pick up scrip before you shop. When you go to Long's for your photo, pharmaceutical or other needs we carry Scrip in $25's and $100's. Now that the weather is getting nicer, you may want to begin all of those honey-do's. Home depot and Sears/Orchard Supply come in $25's & $100's.
   
   While you're thumbing through those catalogues looking for new ways to spruce up the home, we carry Williams-Sonoma/Pottery Barn and Amazon.com for your online shopping needs.
   
   Visa & MasterCard accepted for scrip purchases
8. From the Minister to Youth and Children:
   
   Summer Camp Information: It's never too early to start planning for summer camp and to get the special "early bird" rates. Mt. Cross, located in the Santa Cruz mountains is a great place for camp. Check out all their programs for 2nd graders all the way through High School age youth. They even have a great "Family Camp," too. It's all available on their web site at www.mtcross.org or, for a brochure, stop by Steve's office.
   
   8th Graders: Don't forget to talk to your parents about the High School Houseboat trip that is coming up this summer. Spaces are going fast, so if you are thinking about attending, make sure to talk to your parents today! Any questions, contact Steve at 255-7451.
