Summer here is loud
New Pastor Don Schultz is the 2022–23 principal at Lakeside Lutheran. Reach him at 920.648.2321 or dschultz@llhs.org
One of the first things I noticed at Lakeside when I began teaching here was the “loudness” of the building during the summer. I thought that the school would be quiet! After all, it’s summer vacation, and all the students have gone home. It’s time for peace and quiet! My unrealistic expectations quickly unraveled. First there was laughter. Then, the squeak of tennis shoes. Then the opening and closing of doors. Loud voices. Kids running. Music. Food smells. Students are back? But it’s only June. I’ve learned that at Lakeside, the building is very busy during the summer—overnight band camp, grade school sports camps, high school speed and strength programs, meetings of different school groups—all of this and more is summer at school. On most days, the parking lot is filled with cars, students and parents are in the hallways, and the building is loud!
And I’m glad for that. It reminds me that the ministry of Lakeside Lutheran doesn’t stop in May. It continues throughout the summer. “Partnering with families to educate, encourage, and equip students for life and eternity” (our mission statement) keeps happening even when school is out. A coach working with young people at a sports camp, a parent volunteer helping a student adjust a band uniform, students meeting at Lakeside and then going on the adventure of a mission trip—these are just some of the many ways that God is glorified and people are served with the Gospel even when classes aren’t in session. This Bible passage comes to mind: “I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth” (Psalm 34:1). If you’re looking for a place to enjoy a little peace and quiet this summer—you might find a spot at Lakeside. But as you wait for your teen to finish up an activity or practice, don’t be surprised if the building is louder than you expected. The noisy business of educating, encouraging, and equipping continues on, “at all times.”
