Inside this issue:

Kube’s Korner 2019-2020 THEME:

Fruits of the Spirit

Love, Joy, Peace, Patience,

Kindness, Goodness,

Faithfulness, Gentleness

and Self-Control

What a list. This school

year each month we will

focus on one of the Fruits

of the Spirit. When I first

thought of bringing this as

a theme for the school year

to teachers, I thought it

was a wonderful list on

how God wants us to live

our lives and offers these

gifts to us. As I studied the

list and prayed throughout

the summer, I noticed how

much we need the Lord’s

help and guidance with

these gifts. Throughout

the school year, please ask

your student to share

about the Fruits of the

Spirit and may God lead

us to grow in these Fruits

all year. Principal Kube

Catechetical Week 2 Bible Verse of the Week: Psalm 111:10 The fear of the

LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who practice

it have good understanding. His praise endures

forever.

4th COMMANDMENT

Pre+ Honor your fa-

ther and your moth-

er.

1st+ What does this

mean?

We should fear and love God so that we do not des-pise or anger our parents and other authorities, but honor them, serve and obey them, love and cherish them.

Galatians 5:22-23

But the fruit of the Spirit

is love, joy, peace, patience,

kindness, goodness, faith-

fulness, gentleness, self-

control; against such

things there is no law.

splfairmont.org Small Catechism

3rd COMMANDMENT

Pre+ Remember the

Sabbath day by keep-

ing it holy.

2nd+ What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not des-pise preaching and His Word, but hold it sacred and gladly hear and learn it.

Oh, Blest the House #862

1. Oh, blest the house, whate’er befall, Where Jesus Christ is all in all! A home that is not wholly His- How sad and poor and dark it is!

September 1 - 8

The Fairmont Area Schools will

again be providing our students

with a healthy, nutritious lunch

this year. You may view the menu

online any time at: fairmontareas-

chools.nutrislice.com.

The menus are integrated with web

and mobile apps so you can get easy

access to daily menu choices, nutri-

tional information and food aller-

gies.

Parents need to contact Mary Cole

of Fairmont Area Schools at 235-

4006 or mcole@fairmont.k12.mn.us

in order to set up an account. Once

your account is set up, you will be

able to view your account balance

and make payments online using

the “Skyward Parent Access” link

from the district website: fair-

mont.k12.mn.us.

The price for one stu-

dent lunch is $2.80 for

students in Preschool

through Grade 6. Stu-

dents in Grades 7 & 8 are charged

$2.90 per meal. An extra milk is

$0.65. An adult lunch costs $3.65.

If your child has a food allergy or is

lactose intolerant, please pick up a

“Special Diet Statement” form from

our school office. Once completed

and signed by a health professional,

the form will need to be submitted

to the kitchen staff.

————————————————

Your child may qualify for free or

reduced-price lunch meals. To ap-

ply, pick up an “Application for Ed-

ucational Benefits” in the school

The purpose of Scrip fundraising is to

fundraise while you shop! Raise money

for St. Paul Lutheran School (or a specif-

ic family in our school) just by purchas-

ing gas, groceries, and other items. You

receive the full value of what you paid

plus you earn an immediate rebate per-

centage of what you spent-typically be-

tween 3% and 15%, depending on the

retailer. Use the proceeds to supplement

the school budget, or families can receive

credit toward tuition and other school

expenses. Contact Joan Abel with any

questions (jabel@splfairmont.org or

507-236-9521).

The first Scrip order will be sent in

Friday, September 6th.

St. Paul Lutheran School has insurance coverage with

Church Mutual that provides some cov-

erage for your child during school time.

All students are covered in school and on

field trips. The policy does not cover

sports activities off the premises.

A message from the school nurse: If it is necessary for

your child to have medication during the school day,

you and your physician must complete and sign

a medication permit each year which is in the

school office. Your child should then bring the permit

to the classroom teacher. Please do not send any

medication to school in an envelope or plastic bag;

send in the original container.

If we are to accept the responsibility of administering

the medication, we must know exactly what we are
