Our Home and School Auction, “Back to the 90’s” is this Saturday, January 27, 2024! Buy tickets, view items and register for online bidding at https://e.givesmart.com/events/ziJ/. Dust off those 90’s clothes! We hope to see you there!

Our Home and School Association is still looking for auction volunteers to help make it a huge success! Please consider helping out by signing up at: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0948ADA82CABFEC34-47267027-2024#/.

Thursday afternoon, we will begin putting up a tent for the auction in the parking lot between the church office and the football field. This tent will not affect the carpool lanes, but it will affect parking availability in that lot on Friday, January 26. Thanks for your flexibility and understanding.

Volunteers are needed to help with our Grandparents Day (1-8 grades) reception on Friday, February 2. If you are able to assist please sign up at SLS Parents: Grandparents Day Reception (signupgenius.com).

The annual Men’s Club Mardi Gras Dinner and Parade is coming soon! This year’s event will be on Saturday, February 3, 2024. Don’t miss this popular St. Louis event! Every grade is encouraged to enter a float in the parade. To enter a float, contact Greg Crone at croneg@bellsouth.net. Laissez les bons temps rouler!

If you have first and second graders, please drop them off in morning carpool in the lane closest to the school instead of dropping them off in the middle lane and having them cross traffic.

Junior Tennis League: St. Louis has six boys & girls who have signed up for an indoor middle school tennis league at Leftwich, and we need at least two more student athletes to form the team. Sixth, seventh, and eighth graders who can serve and rally, we need you! This is entry-level competition, so anyone who can hit the ball is welcome to join. Play will be both singles and doubles on Friday evenings, 5:30-7pm, starting January 26 and ending March 1. The fee is $90/player. This is a lot of fun and is a great way to keep those skills sharp in the off-season! Contact SLS tennis coach Steve Denegri (steve@denegri.net or 901-219-4591) for more info or to register.
