Riding Campbell's Soup Labels



When the weather is frightful, indoor fun is delightful. And the children at Lutheran Day have a delightful time riding Campbell's Soup Labels. Actually, they ride scooters. But we were able to get the scooters thanks to your contributions of labels from Campbells, Peppridge Farm and other "Labels for Education" products. Please keep them coming! Each year, we are able to provide additional resources for our classrooms with the labels you collect. Thank you!

When Life Gives You Snow...



While snow makes travel, parking and walking difficult, it is the perfect material for building a snowman in the playground. The children in Room 4 worked together to roll the snow, add twig arms and a face. Unfortunately, the temperatures warmed up and within days, "Frosty" was just a puddle. It was fun while it lasted.

Blizzard of 2011 Shuts Down Lutheran Day

For the first time in many years, Lutheran Day was forced to close for two days due to the historic snow storm on February 1-2, 2011. The city of Chicago was immobilized with over 20 inches of snow and wind gusts of over 65 mph. While parents spent their days digging out their cars, homes, streets and alleys, the children got to experience the fun of snow days.
