Call News recap at Lakeside Lutheran since December:

Later that same month, both men accepted the call to continue in the roles in which they have been serving on an interim basis this school year.

Ø Senior Jordan Genz [St. Paul, Ixonia] and junior Maria Vik [St. Paul, Fort] were awarded the Certificate of Merit from the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) at Michigan Technological University. This certificate recognizes female students who have excelled in the areas of math and science in high school.

Ø December 18 was National Twin Day and we celebrated the 13 sets of twins in our student body (teacher Eric Dorn [St. Paul, Lake Mills] is a twin too). We are thankful for all these double blessings! Camryn and Jesse Gilmore [St. John, Jefferson], Addison and Emma Hallberg [Zion, Columbus], Mia &

• In January, the General Board issued a call to Mr. Justin Gut for upper level science. He currently serves at Trinity, Waukesha. He continues to prayerfully consider this call at the time this writing. Please pray for our Christian brother—and his family—as he considers if God is calling him to join our ministry and build up the Lakeside family. Job Opportunities

Ø Our boys soccer team recently received the national Gold Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award from the United Soccer Coaches, one of only 135 fall soccer teams to receive platinum, gold, silver, or bronze awards. The award recognizes teams that exhibited fair play and sportsmanship, as reflected by the number of yellow caution cards or red ejection cards they received; our Warriors received only two yellow cards all season.

Ø Robotics Club competition season began Jan. 14 at the Wisconn Valley Robotics Tournament at Shoreland Lutheran High. Our “Warrior Marines” team made it to quarterfinals, ranked 5 of 32 teams. They also won the “Judges Award,” given to the team that “displays special attributes, exemplary effort, or perseverance at the event, overcomes an obstacle or challenge and achieves a goal or special accomplishment.” (financially challenged, our team used 90% of the robot from last year). They and 2 other LL robot teams (Navy and Space Force) have tournaments continuing to spring.
