Dear Mrs. Lee and Everyone at Queens Lutheran School,

We hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Part of our Thanksgiving prayer was to give thanks to QLS -- to all of you
for creating such a warm and loving school for Gabriel and all of your
students. We are truly blessed, and bless you for all that you do.
Conversation around the dining room table tonight included my telling
family about QLS: the International Luncheon, the caring, the great
learning and support. We topped off our delicious meal with pies from
QLS--the perfect ending to a great day.

May God bless each and every one of you and hold you special in His heart
for all you do throughout the year.

With all of our love,

Barbara, Gabriel, Adam, and Grandma

Tuition Due by the 10th

Dear Parent or Guardian: The following letter was mailed to you on Thursday, November 12, 2009


Dear Parents and Guardians,

On Tuesday, November 10, 2009, the Queens Lutheran School board voted to change the date of the last payment of the month to the 10th instead of the 20th. This payment schedule will begin the month of December. Late payment after the 10th will include a $35 late charge. As you know Queens Lutheran School relies strictly on tuition income to run the school. The school's expenses are salaries, benefits, utilities, and rent.

The school board, faculty and administration are asking you to be diligent in paying on time.

Thanking you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.

Sincerely,

Nina Hunt
Business Manager

Bettye Lee
Principal

Rev. James Klockau
President of QLS School Board
Pastor of Grace Lutheran Church

Thanksgiving International Luncheon

Queens Lutheran School
Thanksgiving International Luncheon
Tuesday, November 24, 2009

November, 2009

Dear Parent/Guardian:

We are celebrating Thanksgiving in a BIG way by having our 12th Annual International Luncheon on Tuesday, November 24, 2009.

Students interested in wearing clothing from their ethnic background may do so. Please note: If your child does not choose to wear ethnic clothes, he/she must wear the school uniform.

To make this day a complete success, we do need your help and support. We're asking each child to bring in any food item from his/her ethnic background. If you are not preparing a native dish and would like to provide us with a food item, here are some suggestions: cranberry sauce, sweet potato pie, canned fruits, potato salad, yams, corn and always meat (ham, chicken cutlets, chicken, turkey, pot roast, roast beef, roast veal etc.) We ask you to send in as much food as you can because the children will eat this for their lunch. They do not bring lunch in on this day.  Please send in dishes already cooked and heated or send in a dish that does not require heating.. This is necessary due to a lack of space to heat every dish brought in. Please send food in disposable pans because we cannot be responsible for returning your dish.

We are asking each child to provide his/her own drink. Please do not send in any glass bottles. Cans or soft cardboard cartons will be greatly appreciated. We have sodas in our machines which the children can buy for $1.00. We would like to feed 55 students, 10 staff members and our volunteer parents or guardians.

We have invited the Senior members of Trinity and Grace Lutheran Church and other key people to be our guests. Won't you please be so kind as to send in some bottled soda, holiday napkins, cups and plates for approximately 40 guests for our guest table. We do not need any other paper products as we have some left over from our last International Luncheon and our last children's party.

Please fill in and return the attached sheet and return it to your child's teacher as soon as possible but no later than Tuesday, November 17, 2009. 

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Bettye J. Lee
Principal

Coats for Kids

November 3, 2009

Dear Parent/Guardian:

We will be collecting COATS for KIDS during the month of November. The organization known as Hour Children will send one of their representatives to collect them at the end of November.

Please send in used but not abused or new coats/jackets for children of all ages.  By doing so, you will put a smile on a child's face and you'll know that because of your generosity many children will be warm this upcoming Winter season.

Coats will be collected on Tuesday, December 1, 2009.

Thank you again for your love and generosity.

Sincerely,

Don't Bake for Thanksgiving!

Dear Parent or Guardian:

Here's a delicious Fund Raiser which will keep you away from the kitchen a bit during the holidays.  I'm ready to munch on one right now but I'll have to wait a while.  Like yourself, I too want to support Queens Lutheran School so I'm planning on purchasing a few pies and I'm not sharing any.

The form can be downloaded here: Pie Form

Regards and many many thanks,

annmarie
