THE LION’S ROAR

A wonderful group of youth

called Captive Free will be

conducting the Wednesday

Chapel service on April

13th. We will need families

to house the youth ministry

group on Tuesday, April

12th. Please contact the

school office if you can help. The group consists of 3

men and 2 women. You may choose to house one,

two, or all of them.

Mr. Palkewick and Pastor Joel took them in the

night we had to cancel due to the snow storm in

February. Mr. P says that they were excellent

house guests and were great with his son.

This is a great opportunity to show our guests the

great Christian community we have here at ILS.

Thank you for your help!

We Need Your Help!

Pasta-Bilities Winner

Think Spring!

While the calendar said that Sunday, March 20th, was the first day of Spring, the thermome-

ter certainly isn't showing it! However, Spring sprung last Thursday afternoon in the ILS

cafeteria during Cooking Club.

To celebrate the beginning of Spring, the Cooking Club prepared one of their favorite recipes,

“Dirt Cake.” You may think that “Dirt Cake” is made out of mud, twigs, and bugs, but, it's not!

Dirt Cake is a delicious mix of Oreos, pudding, cream cheese, Cool Whip, and gummy worms!

Dirt Cake can be made in a clean flower pot, and a clean garden trowel could be used to serve

it. Dirt Cake is always a big hit in Cooking Club, and we would like to share our recipe with you

for your springtime celebrations!

Dirt Cake

1 to 1 1/4 lb. pkg. Oreo cookies

1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

3 cups milk

1 (12 oz.) tub Cool Whip (can use chocolate)

2 (3 1/2 oz.) pkg. instant vanilla or chocolate pudding

1/2 tsp. vanilla

4 gummy worms and/or other critters

Crush Oreos. Put 1/3 of the crushed Oreos into a new, clean flower pot. Set aside.

Mix butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla together. Set aside.

Combine milk and pudding mix. Fold Cool Whip into the pudding.

Fold together pudding mixture and cream cheese mixture.

Layer this mixture (about 1/3 of it) onto the crumbled cookies in the pot. Next, add another

layer of the cookie crumbs, then a layer of the pudding mixture, continuing until all ingredients

are used.

As you're layering the ingredients, decoratively place several gummy worms and critters in the

"soil" so they will be seen emerging. If you have a toy (clean) garden trowel, a plastic daisy, or

some edible flowers, these can also be used creatively to embellish the presentation.

Cooking club hopes that you will enjoy this recipe! Happy Spring!

News From the Art Room!

Time for an update on all the activity in the Art Room – we’ve been

very busy!

∗ Preschool students have painted an owl and made leaves for the

branch he will perch on. The next thing they will do is draw cars

and trucks.

∗ Kindergarteners have learned how Piet Mondrian developed an abstract tree

and have done a piece of work in his style using paint in primary colors and black construc-

tion paper strips on white paper – very sharp looking.

∗ Today, the first graders used air dry clay to form owls which they will paint next week

when they are dry. The owls have loops imbedded in them so they can hang as ornaments.

∗ Second graders have been working on an abstract piece using mixed media – paint, paper

and markers. Next week these collages will be cut into two inch squares and rearranged to

form a pleasing design, like a crazy quilt.

∗ Third and fourth graders have been working on a different kind of self-portrait. Using

magazine words and pictures they have assembled a collage that tells something about who

they are and what they like. The next step is for them to tie it all together with some

drawn designs.

∗ The older classes are all working on sculpture projects. The fifth graders are just finishing

up their three dimensional fish. The fish were created from cardstock lightly stuffed with

paper, two layers of paper mache and then decoupaged with abstractly painted tissue paper

the students had created in a previous lesson. They have fancy paper fins and sparkly eyes.

∗ Sixth graders have made paper mache birds. The bodies were formed from crushed paper

and several layers of paper mache. They were then painted with acrylic paint. They are

standing on their wire legs on a wooden base eating bird seed!

∗ Last but not least, the seventh and eighth graders are working on sculptures of athletes in

motion. They started with a wire armature (the skeleton); they wrapped the wire with foil

to fill out the form (the muscles) and are now applying paper mache (the skin layer). They

are finding the paper mache to be very messy! When the pieces are dry they will apply sev-

eral layers of paper to make it look metallic and add whatever accessories they need to

complete the piece. The finished pieces are sure to be wonderful!

Every day is a busy day in the art room!

Our new Engineering Club began on Friday, March 25th. Mrs. Lutz was there to snap some pictures of the fun! The kids had loads of fun with Alex, the Playwell Teknologies in-structor. Hopefully they are all looking forward to their next meeting this Friday. Parents should be at the school by 4:30pm to pick up the kids. They will be brought up to the front foyer of the church for pickup. TRACK REMINDER:

When you pick up your children after

track practice, please make sure that

they have all of their belongings!

Please be sure to put your child’s

name in their clothes.
