Volunteer Service Opportunity

One of Hope Lutheran Christian School’s original founders, Margaret Towriss, passed away peacefully on Monday, February 5th.  Margaret, together with her husband Pastor Ron Towriss, established Hope Lutheran Christian School in 1995.

The memorial service for Mrs. Towriss is being held at Hope Lutheran Church on Saturday, February 24th at 1:00 pm.

The Towriss family and Hope Lutheran Church are asking for support from the school community to allow them to grieve while also providing a meaningful memorial service and reception for our School Founder, Margaret Towriss.  Their request is for setup assistance, food/beverage replenishment, and provision of sandwiches and sweets for the memorial on Saturday, February 24th at 1:00 pm.  If this is an area where you would like to provide food/service for parent volunteer hours, please indicate on this Towriss Memorial Staffing Assistance signup.

Gym setup needs to start at 11:30 am; food can be delivered between 11:30 am – 12:30 pm; servers/kitchen staff for the reception are to arrive by 12:45 pm.  All time/expense incurred by parents can be counted towards their parent volunteer hours as noted in the signup link.

Chapel Offerings January – March 2024

Last term, through our chapel offering, we were able to donate $900 to the BC Mission Boat. This term (Jan – Mar), we are collecting offerings for the Union Gospel Mission.  We will continue to collect money at our chapel times along with other items that this ministry has great need of.  Students/families are invited to bring the following items, which UGM shared as being their greatest need: New adult socks, New Adult underwear, cans of ground coffee, and toiletries (toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, etc).

You are welcome to join other parents and our school administration to pray (even if you’ve never prayed before!). Please consider setting aside 30 minutes of your time at the beginning of each week to join us for Parent Prayer as we pray for our school, families, and community.We meet in the chapel at the Elementary Campus.Every Monday from 8:45 – 9:15 am (except for holidays).

Badminton Extra lessons/Tryouts

As we approach closer to the CESS tournament on April 24th, I wanted to offer some extra lessons to better prepare a team. In doing so, I have opted to conduct a match-play scenario for the students to experience the real-life ups and downs of sports competitions. Similar to previous years, so far the students appear to be taking this path in qualifying for the team quite seriously, and all have heightened their level of focus, play, and enthusiasm regardless of the result. 

Although these months are geared towards building a team for CESS, my philosophy has always been promoting this sport to allow the students to learn and play for a lifetime of great health and enjoyment. Regardless if your child has registered or not during this regular season, this is open to all middle students, and I invite all those who want to take on this experience to sign up on the Google sheet.

There are limited dates of availability, and I will do what I can to include all the students to further learn new skills and experience this exciting vesting process. Simply input your student’s name and show up! You may join on any one or all of the times available, but please take note of any possible cancellations.  

There are no fees for the events on these dates.
