Dear Friends of St. Paul’s Lutheran School, Welcome to the St. Paul’s How Does HIS Garden Grow Dinner and Auction. We thank you for joining us for this annual reunion of those in the community who share our vision for vibrant growth of the St. Paul’s Lutheran School educational ministry. We hope you find this to be a joyful and memorable event. Your support this evening will be a vital contribution to both the present and the future of St. Paul’s Lutheran School. Last year's auction helped fund our new science specialist, science lab resources, new desks, new PE equipment, a second mobile iPad lab, and much more! This year we hope to utilize auction funds to implement a new school management solution, enhance curriculum, expand technology resources, upgrade classroom environments, enhance playground equipment, and continue to build on last year's improvements. We would like to thank the many volunteers including church members, parents, faculty & staff, and friends of St. Paul’s who have given of their time and energy to bring us to and through this evening! Furthermore, we continue to be amazed by, and are beyond grateful for the generosity of our community, businesses, and supporters who have donated to our event. Thank you & blessings to you all!
