Shape Up Across Washington
We are almost to the
end of our journey. Mileage Logs should be filling up. Please
continue to mark your log until the end of the month. You may be
starting back by now. At the end of the month parents should sign
anywhere on the calendar to validate your student’s work and send it
back to school. This is homework. I am not asking anyone to change
what they are currently doing for exercise but just to record what
they already do. If you choose to do more that is fine. Thank you
for supporting this journey. Jane Hughes

Parish Food Drive -
Ongoing
Canned food. Baby food.
Staples like flour, sugar and cooking oil. Peanut
butter and bread for kids’ lunches. Pasta. Chili.
Salt. Anything. The soup you don’t have room for.
The vegetables that were on sale. The cereal your
baby doesn’t like. If it’s good food—unopened and
unexpired—the Issaquah Food Bank really needs it.
Families in crisis means pets in crisis—and a
desperate need for pet food, too. Don’t let your
neighbors go hungry tonight. Please give what you
can. Food donations may be left in the Church,
downstairs next to the elevators.
