Eagle Cam Is Here!
We started checking in on the nest last week, and it was empty.  On Monday, we peeked, and the eagle was spiffing up her home.  And on Wednesday, we found a very snowy eagle who was sitting on two eggs! By Thursday, she had another egg, and we were lucky enough to see the mom and dad switch places in the nest!  This camera offers a live feed of the eagle family in Decorah, Iowa 24/7...see the link above marked "Eagle Cam"!

Religion
Memory Work for the Week of March 2nd - lyrics from the songs "Servant of All" and "Make Me a Servant", which the students will sing in church on Sunday, March 8th to begin Lutheran Schools' Week:

Tuesday (First and Second)
If you want to be great in God's kingdom,
Learn to be the servant of all.
Learn to be the servant of all, Learn to be the servant of all,
If you want to be great in God's kingdom,
Learn to be the servant of all.

Thursday (First and Second)
Make me a servant, humble and meek;
Lord let me lift up those who are weak;
And may the pray'r of my heart always be:
Make me a servant,
Make me a servant,
Make me a servant today.
