Coming up on Tuesday, April 26th,
our school will be receiving some special visitors. Mr. Paul Hartwig and Mr.
Greg Schmill from our synod’s WELS Commission on Lutheran Schools will be
visiting our school to help us with a school assessment. As we look to the
future, our congregation’s School Focus Group and our Board for Lay Ministry
have invited these experienced gentlemen to come and visit our school with the
purpose of helping us to assess our preschool and elementary school programs
and give us advice on improvement of Faith’s school ministry. They will be
briefly visiting each of the classrooms in action, as well as meeting with
teachers, support staff, and leadership.
During their visit they would also like
to meet with a focus group of school parents interested in sharing their perspective
on Faith Lutheran School and Faith Lutheran Preschool. This focus group would
meet on Tuesday, April 26th from 3:45-4:45 p.m. Any
parents interested and able to attend this meeting would be welcome and
appreciated. Please contact Mr. Schneck if you would like to participate. We
will provide free child care for those attending the meeting.
If
you have any questions about this visit, please feel free to contact Mr.
Schneck.
Coming up on Wednesday, April 20th,
we will be holding a Kindergarten Round-Up Open House from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Elementary school programs will be available, as well as a tour of our
facilities. If you would like to participate, please contact the school office

Thanks to the students and families of
Faith, who put their pennies and small (and big!) change together in the last
month for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Pennies for Patients! We took a few extra days to collect,
so we will announce the results at chapel this Thursday. Thanks again for
supporting this worthy cause.
