2016 Electronics Recycling Results Ours is certainly an electronic age. For the fourth straight year, your LLHS has hosted days when the federation and the community can bring in virtually anything with batteries or a power cord and have us recycle it for you. You took us up on our offer yet again!

Some numbers: 94 televisions, 62 computer monitors and a semi load of assorted other electronics, plus another semi-load of scrap appliances. Wow! What a blessing to know all this will be recycled at a minimum cost to our environment. The state of recycling today results in LLHS about breaking even from this event (except for cash donations). However, we are very happy to report that LL computer students were able to pick or repair 4 TVs and 6 monitors, a printer, a Roomba and assorted hardware that will be put to use right here at school. All in all, another “green” win-win!

Fed eration Connection Marry me?

A message for the month of weddings...

A young voice exclaimed, “That’s ridiculous! Why would someone get married and then cheat?”

Here is someone who gets it! Reading tabloid headlines in a checkout line, this child discovered the story of a married celebrity being openly unfaithful to his spouse. True or not, it was obvious to this child: this is ridiculous!

God establishes marriage as the lifelong union of a man and a woman. It is fitting that this month­—the most popular for weddings—we consider his institution of marriage.

Marriage is first described in Genesis. Soon after his own creation, Adam realized he had no counterpart as the other living creatures had. In love, the Lord proposed to “make a helper suitable for him” [2:18]. After putting Adam into a deep sleep, the Lord took part of him and formed it into a perfect being. From his own body, here was the one of whom Adam declared, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh” [2:23]. The holy writer Moses then adds that in this special union “a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh” [2:24].

God instituted marriage for three distinct purposes. First, it provides companionship.

Husbands and wives complement each other in many ways. Secondly, God blesses marriage with sexual happiness; spouses share a special bond through physical intimacy. Thirdly, God blesses marriages with children. Offspring are “crowns” and “heritages”—blood-bought souls created to serve God now on earth and forever in heaven.

Scripture’s view of marriage has recently endured heavy attacks. Human views of marriage are not simple personal interpretations or being “openminded.” Rather, they advocate marriage differently than God’s Word prescribes, and willfully and sinfully ignore his will.

God—in this month of weddings and always—lead husbands and wives to first love and honor you. When they do this, they will also love and honor each other.

The Mission of your Lakeside Lutheran High School In the Lakeside Lutheran federation, we’re blessed to have choices for high school. Choices bring questions. Can we answer yours?

We asked some new graduates—we like to call them “Forever Warriors”— toward the end of their high school years, to think about and offer some answers to questions they remember having before their families made the choice for a Lakeside Lutheran high school education.

What other questions do you have? We’s appreciate the opportunity to have the conversation.

Q: What extracurriculars are offered other than sports?

A: There are many activities other than sports. Students have opportunity to expand skills and experience outside of the classroom, gym or field in journalism, music, technology, photography and videography, agriculture, communication, drama, leadership, event planning, service and more. Through God’s blessings, many extracurrics see tremendous success. Warrior Forensics and the Math team have won conference championships for several years straight, even State championships. Our award-winning newspaper is a rare weekly! Lakeside FFA offers many opportunities to those interested in all forms of agriculture. (Annah Dobson, Immanuel, Farmington)

Q: Do many LLHS students get scholarships to colleges and tech schools?

Q: Is it hard to meet new friends?

A: Being worried about this big transition is very normal for all new students wherever they may go, but there are many ways to make friends at LL. By being involved in extracurriculars a student is more likely to meet other people with common interests.

As cliche as it sounds, staying true to oneself is the best way for students to make friends, and LL makes it easier for young Christians to live their faith. Here students are surrounded by their brothers and sisters in Christ. This creates a comfortable and safe environment to make friends who often last a lifetime. (Nora Stake, Eastside, Madison)

A: With its strong academic curriculum and faculty who facilitate deep learning, Lakeside students overall place in the top 3% statewide in the ACT, a college-readiness exam that plays a strong role in scholarship granting. Through this and strong school and community involvement and leadership, LLHS graduates have received over $4 million in scholarships over the past four years.
