DOUBLE YOUR PPP HOURS 
BY HELPING PASTOR MOVE DESK AND CHAIRS FOR CALVARY LUTHERAN SCHOOL

TOMORROW, THURSDAY, APRIL 30TH @ 5:00 P.M.
 
Your help is urgently needed tomorrow, Thursday, April 30, 2015. Pastor Smith is leading the way to pick up desk and chairs that are being donated to Calvary Lutheran School and need to be removed tomorrow.  We need at least 7 strong people to help load all the desk and chairs onto the moving truck that we are renting, and then unload everything at Calvary Lutheran.  The more help we get the faster this will go.

By helping Pastor move the desk and chairs, you will be able to double your PPP hours that are still due.  That's right, DOUBLE PPP Hours. These can be applied to your child or a family member. 

Pastor is leaving Calvary Lutheran at 5:00 p.m. and heading out to Zion Lutheran at 5102 Park Blvd., Piedmont, CA.  Pastor has room for two men to join him in the rental truck.  If you not able to meet us at Calvary, you may join us at Zion at 5:30 p.m.
 

Please contact the School Secretary at (510) 278-2598, or Church Secretary (510) 278-2555 if you will be able to help, or if you have any questions.

 

Thank you!

A child must be fever free and not vomiting, WITHOUT any medications (Acetaminophen/Tylenol, Ibuprofen/Motrin) in their system for at leaset 24 hours before they can return to school.

If your child suddenly comes down with the following symptoms:  fever, headache, muscle aches, sore throat, cough, fatigue, nausea or vomiting - we encourage you to contact your local physician and discuss your child's symptoms.

Do not forget to let your school secretary know that your child will not be in school.  If you would like to pick up any homework after school, please let the secretary know at that time.
