St. Paul Lutheran School
During the month of January, chapel offerings went toward an item on the Camp Luther Wish List: a new waterfront splash mat. We exceeded the $900 goal and donated the remaining $46 to the Every Kid to Camp Scholarship program, which provides children who have never attended camp before a week of summer camp as a gift from a donor.
At Monday’s PTL program, St. Paul was awarded four “gifted” weeks of summer camp! Congratulations to winners Hailee Thompson, Reid Schwerin, Ava Pleshek and Grace Thorne.
February’s chapel offerings will support the North Wisconsin District’s Hearts for Jesus mission offering, which will be combined with other Lutheran schools from across the district to benefit an orphanage in Peru, Colegio NOE. Scholarships and bricks are needed for a bathroom there. A $30 scholarship will help a student for a month; $10 will purchase a brick to help build a much needed bathroom.
Congratulations to the following students who entered the Academic Expo at NEWLHS on Saturday, Jan. 31, and competed against other students from Trinity, Pilgrim, Celebration and St. Paul Luxemburg Lutheran schools: Emma Schneider and Mady Schneider, first in art; Anika Schneider, second in art; Anika and Mady, fourth in fifth-grade Science Quiz Bowl and third place in fifth-grade Bible Knowledge Quiz Bowl. In addition, teacher Peggy Buchholz entered some seventh-grade art, which earned, among other awards, a first-place blue and Best Among Class to Alexia Folkman. Congratulations!
Keshena Primary School
A new program has been implemented into our school this year called Trauma-Informed Care. Children and adolescents who are exposed to traumatic events are helped by numerous child-serving agencies, including health, mental health, education, child welfare, first responder and criminal justice systems to assist them in their recovery.
We have 32 girls out for fourth- and fifth-grade girls basketball. We have two different teams, with 16 girls on each of the teams. So far, we have a record of 2-2. Some of the girls have come in knowing the fundamental skills and rules of basketball, so we are appreciative of the gym teachers for including this in their yearly lesson plans. Without their help, the girls would not be as far as they are in their skill sets. All in all, we are having a great time and wonderful season.
In third grade, students have been creating a PowerPoint on Native American tribes throughout the United States.
At the end of each quarter, students who receive at least six out of eight Thunderbirds are treated to a special activity. This quarter, students went to Silver Birch, where they were able to participate in many different winter activities, such as tubing, skating, snowshoeing and skiing. Students can earn a Thunderbird each week if they are at school every day, turn in homework and are respectful.
The third-grade class was very busy. They had a fundraiser for a student in their class. They sold popcorn for 50 cents a bag, and it was a huge success. Thank you, third-graders, for getting involved in helping others.
