Congratulations to those students who qualified to represent our school in the Grade

School Spelling Competition. Special congratulations to Nadia Alejandro for her First Place among all 1st graders and to Kinston

Knueppel for his Fifth Place among all 2nd graders.

Congratulations also to our Crusader wrestlers who brought home the 2nd Place trophy from the Wisco Wrestling Tournament this past

Saturday. St. John’s Junior Choir will be performing at the Junior Choir Festival which takes place at

6:30pm tomorrow at Wisconsin Lutheran High School. They will also be joining Wisco’s A capella Choir at both of our church services

this Sunday. It is the time of the year when the weather gets nice enough to drop students off early

outside our school doors. Please observe the 7:40 time for the start of dropping students off. We cannot supervise students while faculty is in

our morning devotion. We want the parking lot to be as safe as possible and a large group of students in front of the doors and into the

roadway is not safe. Do you know anyone interested in K3 and K4 for next year? We have places left. Please let

us know to whom we might send information. Tomorrow is the last day of the 3rd Quarter. Please look for report cards next Thursday.

Are you able to help with Discovery Day? Please see the link in the article below if you can help.

Yesterday lower grades watched “Rumpelstiltskin” as performed by the Children’s Theater of Wauwatosa. Great performance! We

were treated to the production that included Emma Bondow and Emma Close as part of the cast. Cecilia Brown and Morgan Festerling

perform with a different troup. “Break a leg”

Second Semester Mission Project St. John's Lends a Hand! Aquaponics in Africa is our student mission focus this quarter. Offerings given in the children's envelopes will all go to support this mission. We are working with Wisconsin Lutheran High School to help set up Aquaponic systems in Africa to help aide the people there in growing crops using water rather than soil. Watch for a special envelope to come home next week giving our families a chance to "buy" a welcome back note and treat for their kids to be delivered to them the first week back from spring break. The proceeds will go directly to our mission.

Parents’ Preview The Parents’ Preview highlights an aspect of next week’s service: a liturgical song, a Psalm refrain, or a hymn stanza. Our hope and prayer is that parents will teach this portion of the service to their children at home during the week so that children can participate more fully in the worship service. Parents’ Preview for March 19t

Art Fair at Tosa Library Have you seen the Art Fair at the Tosa library? Our students in grades 1-4 have some work displayed through the month of March. Stop in and take a look.

Junior Choir Festival Friday, March 17, at 6:30 p.m. will be the Junior Choir Festival at Wisconsin Lutheran High School. Junior Choirs from area WELS congregations (including St. John's), along with WLHS's A cappella Choir, will perform a sacred choral concert. All are invited to attend!

WLHS A cappella Choir Sunday, March 19th We are pleased to announce that the A Cappella Choir from Wisconsin Lutheran High School will be part of our worship services at 8:00 and 10:30 on Sunday, March 19th. Our Junior Choir will also join them in song. We will be hosting a brunch for the students of both choirs in between services in the school commons. Thank you to everyone who signed up to bring food donations. All items can be dropped off on the school lunch counter beginning the afternoon of Friday March 17th through the morning of Sunday, March 19th. Please write the label “Choir Brunch” on the items. Any serving dishes you would like returned should be labeled with your name and look for them on the hot lunch counter on Monday morning. Thank you in advance for helping to show our appreciation to these talented musicians who strive to use their gifts to serve their Lord.

Volunteers Needed Come Spend a Great Day with Your Child at Discovery Day! Friday, March 24, 2017 is St. John's Annual Discovery Day.

Crusader Athletics Go to www.sjtosaathletics.org to view updated schedules for all Crusader sports (practices, games & tournaments).

Crusader Wrestling: St. John's Tosa Crusaders brought it to the mat with 24 wrestlers vying against nine other schools in last week’s wrestling tournament at WISCO. The Crusaders showcased their wrestling skills and took 2nd place as a team in the tournament. Many of the boys came home with a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place overall. Some of our boys wrestled hard in considerably tough brackets to take 4th. The kids were pleased with the extra support from St. John's parents and students that had snuck over from the piano recital to watch them wrestle. This photo does not represent our entire team, as several wrestlers had already left before the trophies were announced. This Saturday our boys will wrestle at St. Paul's Cudahy. On Sunday St. John's will be hosting our “Little Man Tournament” in the school gym starting at 3pm. This tournament is for our 1st and 2nd graders to demonstrate the skills they have learned this season.

Go Crusaders!

JA Volunteers Needed 3rd & 7th Grade Thank you to all who have volunteered! We are still in need of volunteers to teach five mini business lessons to the 3rd & 7th grade students. The lessons are scripted and all materials will be provided for you by our Junior Achievement representative. Teaching the JA curriculum is a very rewarding experience and is not much of a time commitment. Here is the link if you would like more information about the program, http://wisconsin.ja.org/metro-milwaukee. Please email Dan Peterson at drp41980@gmail.com if you are willing to help, or give him a call at 414-719-4873 if you would like to discuss what it entails. He needs to get the volunteer list to our JA representative as soon as possible. Thank you!

K3 News We read a book called “One Tiny Turtle” which tells about the amazing life of a Loggerhead sea turtle. The children also made their own books to take home. This activity begins our study of animals that hatch from eggs. This week we will have a special presentation from Nature in the Parks entitled “Frog Mystery”. Thanks Mrs. Gaub! The children are excited about all the new books about reptiles and amphibians during library time. The desert habitat has had dinosaurs, but this week it has alligators, crocodiles, turtles, and lizards. We’d like to congratulate the Hobler family on their new baby girl, Clara. Evelyn is a big sister! We pray for God’s richest blessings to Clara and the rest of the family. We are missing a Red Wooden Car with the number 1 on it. Please take a look at home to see if it ended up at your house by mistake. It belongs to a set of rainbow colored cars and matching garages that stack from biggest to smallest helping the children learn about size. Our Bible lesson was about how Jesus came to save all people, no matter how they have sinned. Jesus helped Zacchaeus by loving him when others didn’t and forgiving his sins. Zacchaeus showed his faith in Jesus and his thankfulness to Jesus by giving back what he had taken from the people of Jericho. How comforting it is to know that Jesus loves and forgives sinners! Because we believe in Jesus we will want to show it to others by freely serving him out of thankfulness for all he has done for us.

St. John’s 2017 SportService Volunteer Opportunity During the past sixteen years, St. John’s has had the opportunity to earn funds by staffing concession stands at Miller Park events and

events at State Fair Park (Races, Sports Shows, World of Wheels, concerts, etc.). Without question, the most rewarding aspect of this

opportunity has been the Christian fellowship that is shared as we worked together for a common goal. Of course, the additional funds

have been a wonderful bonus! Since the 2001 season, this volunteer group has earned over $380,000! (Flip this page to see how the

volunteers voted to distribute the proceeds.) WOW! An extra special thank you goes out to all the dedicated volunteers who have

continued to make this a fun and worthwhile opportunity.

This opportunity will once again be made available to St. John’s. For those of you who are interested in helping, a schedule is

listed below. If you are interested in helping with one event – Great! If you are interested in helping with 5 or more events, that’s

great, too! Remember that this is a group effort and every helping hand is greatly appreciated! For those of you who have

friends or family members who might be interested in helping, volunteers must be 18 or older to work at Miller Park.

We know how busy everyone is and in an effort to run this program as efficiently

as possible, we ask that everyone complete and return the attached form as soon as

possible stating whether you are interested in participating during the 2017 season

or not. If you are able to participate, please check the training date that works for you. (A few additional dates are

available throughout the season, but they have greatly limited the number of training dates compared to previous seasons.)

As soon as you are signed up for training, we also ask that you choose a game or two and put it on your schedule. Selecting

which games you would like to work upfront is important for several reasons (we can always switch people around as the

season progresses): If there are days that we are unable to cover, we need to adjust our contract immediately to avoid any penalties.

Over the course of the season, it can save hours of organizational time and phone calls --- it’s a lot easier to fill in a person or two than to start from scratch each time, guessing which “6” people might be interested in working each game!

If we have enough volunteers to work a larger stand we need to make that request ahead of time.

You can also get your first choice of games and/or choose to work with a group of friends.

Thank you for your help making this work efficiently! We are once again looking forward to a successful opportunity for St. John’s to earn additional funds. If you have any questions, please contact JoAnn (office: 414-258-4214, call/text cell: 217-7170, or email: school@sjtosa.org.

An extra special thank you goes out to all of the dedicated volunteers who have helped with the Miller Park /

Milwaukee Mile Volunteer Opportunity over the past sixteen years. Thus far this volunteer effort has earned over

$380,000! Each year at the end of the season, the volunteers and their families gather for a pizza/sub party and to vote

on how the proceeds will be distributed. The vote is from a list of recommendations that have been compiled and then

approved by St. John’s Executive Board. (We are in the process of wrapping up the distribution of 2016 funds at this

time.) Through the efforts of this volunteer group, we were able to purchase:

• gymnasium bleachers

• an electronic scoreboard

• office computers

• boys’ basketball uniforms

• girls’ basketball uniforms

• wrestling uniforms

• Cross Country Uniforms

• cheerleading uniforms

• basketball riggings and backboards

• volleyball standards

• handbell supplies

• refurbishing of handbells

• a defibrillator (and training)

• a floor buffer

• classroom TV’s

• TV for the school commons

• classroom DVD/VCR combos

• classroom computers

• $17,000 towards technology upgrades

and school computer lab equipment

• Additional 55 Chromebooks and 2 charging carts

• protective floor waxing for the gym

• Speakers for the electronic Piano

• Replacement speakers for the gymnasium

• a duplicating machine for church

& school use

• Music Curriculum for Kindergarten-Grade 5

In addition, funds were also available for the start-up of St. John’s Spirit Club, WELS Synod-wide Advertising

Campaign (2 years), advertising at the Wisconsin Athletic Club, Library Wishlist, Teacher Wishlists, support for

“Birthday Party for Jesus” and “Discovery Day” and of course the annual pizza/sub parties for the volunteers and their

families. Grants were also made available to the Building Expansion Fund, St. John’s Rooted & Growing/Called

Together/Called to Gather, (debt reduction), the Lau Fund (tuition assistance), school budget support for Athletics,

Technology and the Art program, as well as help with the cost of a student cochlear implant. The St. John’s Crusader

(school logo) which looks over our state-of-the-art gymnasium was also funded by the St. John’s Sportservice

Volunteer Opportunity. WOW! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

The outcome of all of the volunteer hours that have gone into this

opportunity can be seen every day at our church and school!
