Ladies and gentlemen, START... YOUR... PLEDGES!

Through our annual capital campaign, which includes the Trike-A-Thon and Family Fun Night/Silent Auction, we seek to raise $40,000 to strengthen campus safety and security! A bold goal, but with your support we will meet the goal!

$20,000 of our first event, the Trike-A-Thon, will be used to:
• Install security cameras throughout the campus (24hr campus surveillance)
• Add child-sized handrails
• Apply all-weather/anti-slip coating on stairs
• Provide new playground tables for outdoor learning and fellowship

When we invest in safety and security, we are investing in peace of mind — for parents dropping off their children in our care, for volunteers serving faithfully, and for every person who walks onto our campus to worship, learn, or serve.

We know not everyone can give in the same way, but everyone can make a difference. Please consider supporting our fundraising efforts by:
• Making a financial gift of any size: donate here: https://tinyurl.com/PledgeTAT2026 OR, give via cash or check (memo: Trike-A-Thon)
• Sponsoring a COL sibling (we have seven sibling pairs, and each child is working toward a $225 goal, which can be a challenge for some families)
• Volunteer your time the day-of Trike-A-Thon (https://tinyurl.com/TAT26volunteer)

Every donation and every act of support is a living expression of Christ’s love and care for His people.
Thank you for prayerfully considering how you might be part of this effort. We hope we can count on your participation now at the Trike-A-Thon on March 6, 2026, AND at our Family Fun Night on May 1, 2026, to achieve raising the remaining $20,000 total goal! Together, as one ministry family, we can ensure our campus remains a safe and welcoming place for children, families, musicians, volunteers, and all who gather here in Christ’s name.

With gratitude and love,
First Lutheran & Circle of Love Family

It's National Lutheran Schools Week: 2026! Circle of Love Preschool will be celebrating with a week of intentional conversations and thoughtful art projects, school spirit dress-up days, and as this year's theme suggests... lots of JOYFUL NOISE! ❤ Happy National Lutheran Schools Week!

WHAT IS NATIONAL LUTHERAN SCHOOLS WEEK? Great question! Here is a message from the LCMS Director of School Ministries:

Welcome to National Lutheran Schools Week 2026! This week is a cherished opportunity for us to come together as a community of believers across the nation and around the world to celebrate the joy and purpose found in Lutheran education. Our theme, drawn from Psalm 98:4, is a powerful and vibrant call to action: "Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!"

Psalm 98 is a psalm of celebration and praise. It invites us to lift our voices in response to the marvelous things God has done — from creation to salvation — and to His constant care in our daily lives. What a fitting focus for a week in which students, teachers, families and congregations join to reflect on the blessings of Lutheran schools. Each school — no matter the size or setting — is part of a beautiful symphony of joyful noise to the Lord.

This week, our students will explore how to make joyful noise in creation, worship, service, community and in Christ alone. They will see that joyful noise is not simply about loud sound, it is about hearts aligned with God’s goodness and mouths eager to proclaim His grace. From hymns in chapels to acts of kindness in the classroom, from shared prayers to service projects, our schools will echo with songs of praise.

Lutheran education is built on Christ and centers on the Gospel. That means every subject taught, every relationship nurtured and every celebration held has eternal significance. And so, with joy in our hearts and praise on our lips, we begin this week confident that Jesus is present in every classroom, guiding our students and staff in truth and love.

Let us truly make a joyful noise — not just this week, but every day. May this celebration renew our gratitude, reignite our mission and remind us of the joy we have in the Lord!

In Christ,
Dr. Alan Freeman
Director, LCMS School Ministry
