families: look for summer advantage

Another summer issue of our family magazine—The Lakeside Lutheran Advantage— is on its way to the mailboxes of grade school families and church offices. In it families will find another opportunity at what’s becoming an anticipated new tradition: contests for grade school students. In our first three contests, we’ve had students searching for items at Lakeside, submitting photos and writing down what they like about Lakeside.

Now, in our fourth issue, grade school students get to emulate a project that Lakeside students took on this spring: a video clip contest called “Pass It On.” Families can use cell phones and other video recorders to get 8 seconds of video showing a cross moving left to right across the frame.

Lakeside students had a blast, and so will younger students! Lakeside videography will produce a video like the teens’ afterward, and there’s a chance for one of 20 prizes! See the magazine for the full story.

Look for the LL teens’ video on the home page at www.llhs.org

Federation Connection June 2013

a publication of Lakeside Lutheran High School Volume 2: Issue 10

I’ll take the bubble wrap!

In 1957, two men attempted to create three-dimensional, plastic wallpaper. Although their initial idea failed, the by-product of their work became a staple of daily life. Today, bubble wrap protectively cushions millions of shipped items.

Christian education is bubble wrap for its students. Parents send their children to Christian schools for an environment where Jesus is Lord and he is all in all. His Word reigns supreme, and it is the basis by which everything is viewed, taught, and practiced.

Critics of Christian education cite its insular nature. They say that its students are cocooned from the real world.

On the contrary, our children today need the truth of God’s Word in their lives more than ever. Daily, they hear Satan’s lies, they are pressured to conform to this corrupt world, and they struggle with their own sinful natures.

Particularly in Christian high schools, students are only months or a few years from having spoken their Confirmation vows. This is a crucial period. Young Christian adults need the full support of family and school working together to develop habits and patterns of Christian living. Young people need daily exposure to the Word of God, contact with Christian adults, and the support and encouragement of Christian peers to grow in their knowledge of Jesus, and their confidence that he is their Savior and the Savior of all believers.

Christian education—at all levels—provides a protective layer—a bubble wrap—to its students. Students in Christian school are protected as they grow and mature in the saving faith.

“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my Savior.” 2 Samuel 22:2-3 Mr. Jim Grasby is principal of Lakeside Lutheran; his column is featured in every FedCon.

Lakeside Lutheran computer science teacher and Technology Director Ted Klug is also responsible for a roomful of students—in homeroom 513 on the far west hall of the school. He works to nurture a mission-minded attitude among his students that he named “Project 5:13,” based on Galatians 5:13: You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. Part of this focus includes a mission trip—this year, to San Antonio in the second half of June.

Klug says, “The Project 5:13 group travels semi-annually to WELS congregations around the United States to assist them in sharing the Gospel. Our first trip was in July 2011 to Christ the Lord Lutheran Church in Clearwater, Florida. We are thrilled to be able to help Our Savior Lutheran run a special basketball camp for neighborhood kids as well as other outreach activities in San Antonio this summer.”

This is the project that many who attended this year’s Grand Event supported during the live auction, helping “fund-a-flight” by holding up bidder paddles. The students themselves recently hosted a breakfast at Lakeside —on May 13...5/13— where they served eggs, bacon and toast, raised $400 toward their trip, and still got to first hour class on time that Monday morning. Parents have also helped raise funds, and the Jefferson County Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans has supplemented funds raised. Klug adds, “We are always excited for additional help toward the cost of the trip.” For more info, he can be reached at tklug@llhs.org.

Students joining the mission trip with Mr. Klug, who is a member at Zion in Columbus, and Pastor Caleb Davisson, who attends St. Paul in Lake Mills, include 2013 graduate Skyler Tesch and junior Alex Kohlstedt (Peace, Sun Prairie), senior Brandon Schwoch (St. Luke, Watertown); junior Nick Zank (St. John, Juneau), senior Daniel Fisher (Our Redeemer, Madison), senior Briana Modjeska (Holy Cross, Madison) and senior Meriel Christian (St. Paul, Ixonia). Pastor Timothy Soukup and his staff at Our Savior in San Antonio look forward to the youthful energy and faith witnessing these students will bring to their summer camp!

what do our badger state reps do?

Badger State is an opportunity for students entering their senior year of high school to put the principles of democratic government into action during a weeklong assembly. Sponsored by the Wisconsin American Legion and its Auxiliary, the goals of Badger State assemblies are to prepare young men and women of high school age for citizenship in a modern world, teach principles of democracy, instill a love of country and desire to preserve our government. Schools are encouraged to select representatives based on a combination of interest shown, leadership qualities, character, fitness, scholarship and extra-curricular activities.

Approximately 870 young men from every part of Wisconsin attend Badger Boys State the second week of June at Ripon College. Girls assemble at UW–Oshkosh the third week in June. Both boys and girls are grouped into cities and counties which form a “51st state.” The boy citizens of this”new state” carry out all the main functions of city, county, and state government using basic laws and fundamental procedures of the State of Wisconsin as their guide. The program is designed to teach its “citizens” that the American form of government is stronger and more vital in today’s world than ever before. (from badgerboysstate.com) At Girls State, the citizens are divided into two political parties—the Federalists and Nationalists. They develop their own party platforms and formulate their own issues. Citizens “learn by doing” as they function on city, county and state levels by electing officials in the manner prescribed by regular election procedures and conducting business on those levels.
