The student council of Lutheran High South wanted to find a way to help the victims of the recent earthquakes in Haiti. They put their heads together and decided to hold a penny war. Each class received points for pennies placed in their jug and lost points for any silver or paper money. Student council agreed to match up to $200 of the money raised and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans will match $0.50 of each dollar raised. The results are as follows:

Class	$ in Pennies	$ in Other Monies	Total Raised	Points
Freshmen	$57.02	$113.55	$170.57	-5653
Sophomores	$65.09	$37.35	$102.44	2774
Juniors	$11.48	$48.00	$59.48	-3652
Seniors	$4.99	$38.55	$43.54	-3356
Staff	$12.37	$61.60	$73.97	-4923

Total Raised by Lutheran South: $450.00
Student Council Match: $200.00
Thrivent Match: $225.00

Grand Total Raised: $850.00

While the Sophomores won a pizza party, and the Freshmen won brownies, the real winners are the people of Haiti who will be helped by your generosity.

Two notes for the price of one here.

FIRST: Due to a scheduling conflict with basketball, the Boosters meeting has been changed to Monday, February 1st beginning at 6:30pm. Please plan on attending and becoming involved in the exciting happens at Lutheran South!

SECOND: Please get your registration cards for the 2010-2011 School Year in soon! The registration fee increases to $150 beginning February 1st.

The location for Friday's basketball game at Macomb Christian is NOT the normal location for Macomb Christian. Because this is a homecoming game for them they have moved it to a larger location at Warren Woods Tower High School. The address is 27900 Bunert Rd, Warren, MI 48088. You can also see this mapped with directions by clicking here.

Financial Aid for Lutheran High South (And the Lutheran High School Association, LHSA) will be handled through an outside company, Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS). For more information on this you can goto the Financial Aid Information page to read about this. You can also note that there are two new graphic links on the right side of the page which are shortcuts to the services that TADS provides. Please also look for a Constant Contact e-mail which will share this information as well.

LHS Student Council is sponsoring a Penny War for Haiti Relief. There will be a bucket for the staff and each class in the school office. Pennies in your bucket will gain your team points. Silver or bills in your bucket will deduct points from your team. The team with the most points at the end wins a pizza party!

Student council will match up to $200 of the total amount raised to help the suffering people of Haiti.

Let the conflict begin!

LHS Scrip orders can now be placed on-line at your convenience. How it works:

1. Go to www.shopwithscrip.com
2. Find the Member Log In on the far right of the screen. Click on "Not a member-Click here." Follow the simple registration process. Our school's unique enrollment code is: BAA4B7D515719.
3. Once registered you can place an order at your convenience. The order screen will have all the vendors available, not just the ones on our family order form, broken down by category.
4. Submit your order. A confirmation page will appear with the amount you owe. Print this page and send it to school with your payment. The school's coordinator will receive an email advising them you have placed and order. Your order will be returned to you through the school as usual.

Please note: www.shopwithscripcom does not collect the money or place the orders with Great Lakes Scrip. It is simply a way to order any time without worrying about finding an order form.

An updated Scrip form was sent home with students today and should also be available online.

You may continue to order using the form sent home or you may follow the directions above to place your order on line. All payments will still be made by check or money order delivered to the school office and made payable to "Lutheran High South".

Registration cards were sent home with students before Christmas. The registration fee is $100 through the end of January. Please take advantage of early registration and register your student before the fee increased.

Families will be applying for financial aid through an online company this year. As more information about this new process becomes available we will pass it along to you.
