Grade 4WD   Newsletter  April 2, 2004

Dear Parents,

Students will be receiving information on the Lincoln trip in the near future.   Students will also be receiving a menu for McDonalds food sometime next month.   This will be our return trip meal from Lincoln.   We might do this a little early since we are going to cash in food money for scrip to support our school!

This weekend is "Daylight Saving" weekend so be sure students get plenty of sleep Sunday evening.   The time change seems to make students and teachers more tired until they get used to the hour difference.

Don't forget Saturday, April 3 rd , "Karaoke Night" at Lutheran High Northeast! It is a fundraiser for the Sundermans.

Dates to remember for April:

April 1 st - 7 th              Magazine sales.

April 8 - 13                 Easter vacation

<*dv_0*>Friday, April 30 th         Class trip to Concordia University, Seward, and Lincoln

                           In the love of Christ,

Mrs. Dinkel and Mrs. Wasson
