Spread the word about Queens Lutheran School

One of the best ways to help support Queens Lutheran School is to spread the word.

On the home page of the Queens Lutheran School website, at the bottom, are icons to share the school website with Google Buzz, Facebook and Twitter. It's easy enough to share the website by email, too. That function is built into every web browser.

In the QLS Weblog, below every post, there's a row of icons: email, Blogger, Twitter, Facebook and Google Buzz.

In the QLS Photo Albums there's share icons, too. You can share the pictures by email, Google Buzz, Blogger and Twitter. You can also download pictures and order prints (and all sorts of things).

You can share the QLS Calendar and QLS News and Notes, too. These functions are built in to the website. You can share the information in any other way you'd like. The point is to spread the word.

Of course, if you have anything you'd like to share with the school please send it in. You can use your email program or the form on the Contact QLS page.

If you have a website, a weblog, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, or any other site of your own please consider adding a Queens Lutheran School link. It all helps to get the message out.
