THE PRE-KINDERGARTEN CLASS

On Sunday mornings, you will find loving

hands guiding the Pre-Kindergarten room. Sixty

-seven children are registered for Pre-

Kindergarten; keeping Georgette Sweeney, Me-

gan Kilonzo, Darrin Bush, and Paula Gascoigne

busy welcoming children into their classrooms.

Upon entering, the morning has just begun! The

children go to the puppet room to sing and par-

ticipate in a drama that explains the Bible les-

son, and then they head back to their rooms for

snacks, games, and an activity.

Please continue to pray for this team, that they

would be blessed by being on the XOS Ministry

Team, and that they would continue to be a

blessing to the Pre-Kindergarten children and

their families. We will miss Jane Larson as she

takes off to recover from knee surgery,

Members of Our Savior Lutheran Church,

Christ Lutheran School would like to hold a “Career Day” for its 7th and 8th graders and we are in

need of your help. Each student has given us their top 2 or 3 career picks of interest.

Christ Lutheran School would like to help these students meet members of our Churches

in Norfolk who have the same career or a career that parallel’s the students’ career picks.

What we are asking our congregational members to do is to look through the list below to

determine if your current or former occupation/career fits one of the following on the list.

If so, we would like for you to come to our career day on March 8th from 2:00PM to

3:15PM to speak with the students who are interested in what you do. They will come

with questions about the job, education required, positives, negatives, of the job and eve-

rything in between. If you would like to help, please contact Amanda Hafer at (402) 316-

4728 (home phone) or amandajoyhafer@gmail.com and we will give you more infor-

mation as we collect our data. If your career or job is not listed below but you would like

to share information about it with the students, please let us know and we would wel-

come you to come and speak to the students as well. If we continue this activity every

year, student interests will change.

Our goals for this project include:

Helping students explore career pathways early

Helping students prepare for high school classes, college classes, or on the job training that

may be required for their dream job

Helping students determine what a plan B may look like if their first career choice does not

work out.

Creating a bond between our students and adults from our congregations who have a faith in

Jesus Christ and may serve as a mentor for that student in the future

Listed below are the occupations & career areas that this year’s Jr. High students are interested in:
