Good Afternoon:
· YEARBOOKS: Yearbooks are here! They will be distributed on Friday, May 19. If you were not a patron but would like a yearbook please call the school office (942-2939). The cost is $10.

· TRIP:
**The school year is coming to an end, and that means we are close to our last TRIP order day, next Monday, May 22. Did you know that together our families have earned nearly $2,000 toward tuition costs just since last fall? Even though each purchase earns a small amount, those percentages begin to add up! The school earns money through each purchase, as well.**Remember TRIP when you make your travel plans for summer. Airline tickets, hotel vouchers, and restaurant certificates can all be purchased through TRIP. (Look at www.glscrip.com to find our the total list of participating TRIP providers by clicking in the “retailers” header.)
**The last TRIP order day may be a great time for you to stock up on those necessary household expenses such as trash pickup, gas cards, dry cleaning, and groceries. TRIP cards make wonderful graduation gifts as well!
**Remember, you don’t have to set up a personal account to purchase TRIP. You may arrange to have your earnings go directly toward the school or toward another family. Just let us know, and we will be happy to help you. Questions? Feel free to contact Heidi VanBaren or Vicki DeKryger.

Song of the Week Psalter 394 “Our Glorious King” stanza 1
I will extol Thee, O my God, And
praise Thee, O my King;
Yea, ev’ry day and evermore Thy praises I will sing.
Great is the Lord, our mighty God, And
greatly to be praised;
His greatness is unsearchable, Above all glory raised.
