NewThing is excited to be taking a group of youth to the 2025 National Youth Gathering in New Orleans, LA, on July 19-23. The National Youth Gathering is an event put on every 3 years by the LCMS where over 20,000 high school youth will come together as a community of God's people to learn more about Jesus Christ, the Christian faith, and their Christian identity, and build impactful connections. This is an opportunity for current 8th-12th graders to come together as a community of God's people to learn more about Jesus Christ and the Christian faith through worship, service, and other fun activities.

Family Information Meeting: Tuesday, October 8th at 7:00 p.m.

 

 

 

Middle School students who would like to sign up to work on their graduating class's Homecoming Banner or who would like to represent their class by playing Jeopardy during Homecoming Week should sign up on the sign-up sheets in front of Mr. Miller's office. They will have until this Friday, October 11th to sign up. 

 

Middle School students are invited to attend their very own Spirit Day after school on Friday, October 18th from 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. on the Saints Quad. The afternoon will be filled with a variety of games and activities, such as pumpkin decorating, a "sweet treat" walk, and banner/poster making to decorate the fences or hold up while they cheer on the Saints football team the next day at the game.

 

We will also be providing tie-dyeing materials as another activity in hopes to wear the tie-dyed attire to Saturday's game. NOTE: Students should bring their own plain white garments (i.e., shirt, socks) if they wish to participate in tie-dyeing.

 

Please contact Mrs. Calheira if you have any questions or would like to donate "sweet treats" for the event. Additional information, including permission slips, will be distributed soon.
