Hope Lutheran Fundraiser
Calling all Hope Lutheran families!
Each February, students from our middle school attend the Lutheran Elementary School Tournament (L.E.S.T.) Northwest taking place in Tacoma, Washington. This event gives our students a wonderful opportunity to travel, build community, and compete against other Lutheran school students from across Western Canada and the United States in over 25 events—from cubing and basketball to piano and cheerleading.
This fundraiser is open to our entire school community! You can help lower trip costs for our middle school families simply by purchasing gift cards for your everyday shopping and holiday gifts.
SEE HERE for additional information and how to order!
Order Deadline: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2026, 4:00 PM.

Remembrance Day Assembly & Poppies
Our elementary students will be gathering on Tuesday, November 10th at 11:00 AM in the chapel to hold our Remembrance Day Assembly. All are welcome to attend. The assembly will be approximately 30 minutes in length.
For the assembly, students will be provided with poppies and we ask that students consider donating a loonie or toonie to the Legion, for the poppies, in support of our veterans. Poppy donations will be collected in the classrooms.

Students are encouraged to join these tournaments from home to improve their chess skills. Students that sign up will have access to lessons, puzzles, or practice anytime with their account.
