The 200,000 level should be crossed by next week.  I recently heard that the students at Bethlehem Lutheran School in Hortonville are involved in a hotly contested Penny War between the odd & even classes. 

To God be the glory!

Emanuel Schools gets in the CFT Spirit!

January 31st meal total = 131,410

Students at Emanuel Lutheran School in New London celebrated Spirit Week and supported the Children Feeding Thousands project by holding Penny Wars all week.   All grades participated in the penny collecting!  The battle raged between the 5th through 8th graders.  The goal was to put pennies in your class' jar and to put as many silver coins in the other classes' jar to slow their progress.  This is a fun contest students at Emanuel have enjoyed in past years as well. 

Below is a photo of the festivities on PJ Day.  The money collected in going in the milk jug...

Thanks, Emanuel, for sharing the fun with us!
