The mission of Green Park Lutheran School is to provide an exceptional education in a Christ-centered environment.
Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Psalm 25: 4-5
PRINCIPAL’S CORNER We have come to the midway point of the 1st quarter. Routines are established, habits are being formed and paths are being set. I would encourage students and parents to stay diligent with school routines and talk with teachers if things start going a different direction. We continue to work with our students and teach them the skill of empathy. This is one of our words for the year. It takes time and is not an easy skill to implement each day. We pray that each child can share empathy with others in their class. The Green Park Golf Scramble is Sunday and we look forward to a wonderful and exciting day. The next activities coming soon are the Pre-K Play Day on September 27 and Grandparents day on Friday October 4. Servant of Christ, Mr. Stephen F. Eggold, Principal
TOYS NEEDED Our Before/Aftercare program is in need of toys. We have a lot of little ones using our program and we would love to have more toys for them to play with. Some ideas are kitchen sets, dolls, doll houses, cars, Little People Sets, Lincoln Logs, etc. Any toys will be appreciated. If you have anything you can donate, please bring it to the school office. Thank you.
BOX TOPS PROGRAM IS CHANGING The Box Tops for Education program is changing the way we can earn money for our school. Starting now, receipts can be scanned using Box Top app. Please continue to save unexpired box tops and send them in for contests. 1st contest of the year ends October 14th. Winning class will receive a doughnut party! Just remember we earn 10 cents for every clipped or scanned box top and this money helps to fund PTO activities. A letter explaining all of the changes is attached to the Green Sheet email. Any questions, please email Rachel Palma at [email protected].
PROFESSIONAL DATABASE FOR GREEN PARK GP Families... do you own your own business, have your own in-home sales business, or work somewhere that other GP families should patronize? Last year we put together a 'Professional Database' of GP family owned businesses. The goal was to have a place for families to go when they needed assistance... for example a plumber, painter, home inspector, etc. If you didn't fill out a form last year, or are new to GP, please fill out the attached form and return to the office.

SHADOW DAY OPPORTUNITIES AT LUTHERAN SOUTH Lutheran South is excited to begin welcoming 8th graders to campus for shadow days. August 30 was a great success.

Students can stay for a full (8:30-3:00) or half day (8:30-12:30), enjoy lunch on South, and receive a Lutheran South shirt. Parents can schedule by calling Katy Schmitt at 314-833-1088.

SCRIP NEWS The first Scrip Order of the school year is being delivered today, Friday, September 13. If you placed an order and asked for backpack delivery, please check your child’s backpack. The next Scrip Order will be entered on Friday, October 4, and will be delivered on Wednesday, October 9. (School will not be in session on Thursday, October 10 and Friday, October 11.) A Scrip Order form is attached to the Green Sheet email. Please do not use any forms dated earlier than July, 2019 as vendors may have changed.
This school year, we will continue to sell $100 Dierbergs gift cards in the office. They earn profits of 5%, and of those profits, 75% goes to you. So, for instance, if you purchase $100 worth of cards, you earn $3.75. That means that for every $1,000 you make in purchases, you earn $37.50 in Scrip credits! Those Scrip credits can then be used for any of your TADS invoices.
If you have any questions, please contact our Scrip Coordinator, Sara Hopfer, at [email protected].
