Mr. Covert: It’s hard to believe we’re already over halfway through the third quarter! I hope that everyone is doing well, as it seems we’re finally out of illness season. We keep moving right along in our classes. 8th grade is finishing up westward expansion, and will be setting foot into the 1900s shortly. 7th grade is working through Southeast Asia, studying the people, landforms, and history of this little-thought of region. In 6th grade, we’re studying Christianity and its spread throughout Europe to become the world’s largest religion. 7th grade parents, I have gotten information of a passport fair on March 4th, which I will be sending out this week. This would be a great time to get passports for our trip to DC, so I’ll be sending out that information to you so you can plan ahead! I pray that God continues to bless our school family as we keep walking with Him through this school year. Blessings on your week!

APPLICATIONS FOR NATIONAL FREE & REDUCED SCHOOL LUNCH AND BREAKFAST PROGRAM: DHS requires us to remind you periodically that we not only serve lunch, but breakfast as well! If your child would like to eat breakfast at school, it is served in the cafeteria between 7:45 – 8:05 each morning. The menu for breakfast is listed on the lunch menu that we send home each month, and also on FastDirect & in the Ponca News. First Lutheran School participates in the National Free & Reduced lunch program; applications for this program were available at enrollment, and more applications are available in the office if you would like to apply at any time during the year. Please remember that if your child qualifies for free or reduced lunch, that it applies to their breakfast as well. Reduced price lunches are $.40 and breakfasts are $.30 for those qualify. Please contact the school office if you have any questions or if you need an application. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
