As we continue to reflect upon the WLHS culture, we come to the fourth of seven indicators which we have adopted and ask God to help us live.

4 CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP IS EXPECTED.

In the last few decades the topic of leadership has trended strong. Check the number of bestsellers, seminars, and even college courses with the word “leader” or “leadership” in them for proof. One reason for leadership’s surge in popularity is the diagnosis that for too long far too many organizations have failed to reach their potential due to incompetent leadership.

And so recipes for CEOs, presidents, board chairpersons and others who find themselves at the top of a flow chart abound.

Perhaps some of our graduates will land in such positions of leadership. Given their gifts, we would not be surprised, and we pray their leadership will be informed and guided by their faith.

Yet also true is the adage “Too many cooks spoil the soup.” Not every WLHS student will have this kind of leadership position, nor should they. How then can we expect leadership?

Christian leadership is not about the position one holds but about the way one lifts–standards, spirits, productivity. In short, this kind of Christian leader, whether or not she has a title, raises the people and place around her because of who she is.

And they do this in many ways, among them: 1 They are courageous. They will q speak and stand for God’s will

and way though it might be unpopular (Joshua 1:9).

embraces leading through and by service to others as opposed to gaining authority over others.

are relationship-minded. People matter q They more than things or power. “Do nothing out of

selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others” (Philippians 2:3, 4). The Apostle Paul’s inspired counsel is a sound blueprint for Christian leadership.

In competition our opponents recognize this leadership in the way we win humbly and the way we lose graciously. On field trips, curators, guides, and owners recognize this leadership in our volume, our discourse, our readiness to observe boundaries.

Employers recognize this leadership in our attendance, our punctuality, our integrity. Visitors to our school recognize this leadership by the way our hall traffic flows, our cafeteria operates, and our students interact.

Of course, our Christian leadership is far from perfect.

We stumble, sinners that we are. And then we show leadership by owning our mistakes, by asking forgiveness, by apologizing, and by compensating when appropriate.

We can and do expect our students to be leaders wherever they are because that is what Christ has called them to be. By grace he dwells in their hearts through saving faith in his meritorious work. That allows our students to see themselves as his ambassadors who have the privilege of bringing his light to all situations.

“Don’t let anyone look down on you

because you are young, but set an

example for the believers in speech,

in conduct, in love, in faith and in

purity” (I Timothy 4:12).

Winter Athletic Season Summary

BOYS BASKETBALL The boys basketball team had a hard-fought season that brought more losses than wins; however, it was not without bright spots.

In January My 24 TV and Badger Maxx selected our match vs Slinger as their game of the week, and we won in front of a home and televised crowd. The Vikings look forward to next season with strong contributors returning.

GIRLS BASKETBALL Our girls got off to a slow start that contributed to a losing record by season’s end. That, however, does not tell the story of a gritty squad that constantly improved. The lady Vikings finished strong down the stretch with an exciting last second in the game against Whitefish Bay in tournament play. This team was a champion in determination.

CHEERLEADING Our varsity cheerleaders continued their program’s excellence by successfully competing in many competitions and performances. They also cheered at home basketball games.

WRESTLING The wrestling team had a momentous year. They captured both the dual conference championship and the conference tournament championship.

Nine wrestlers then qualified for the individual state tournament with five of them placing in the top six. This was a school record for WLHS. German Fitzgerald (195) placed sixth, Tyler Roecker

(106) placed fifth, Brian Corbins (138), Bryce Roberts (220), and Quinton Reed (285) all placed

third.

The wrestlers also qualified for the team state tournament.

They fell by two points in the final match to become state runner-up.

Many projects were suggested this year but the students settled on two projects. The first and primary goal is a house generator for the Central Africa Medical Mission (CAMM) and the second goal is for a water purifying system for an Indonesian village.

“……..but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:14 Each spring the National Honor Society and the Student Council of Wisconsin Lutheran High School join together to spearhead a special mission project called Our Hands for His Service (OHFHS).

Right now the electricity to the headquarters of CAMM is very unreliable, which makes communication, computers, and refrigeration of supplies difficult to manage. All the outpost hospitals/clinics are directed from this building.

A house generator will help restore electricity during those outages.

We do not have to explain how important pure water is to a village. The more money we collect the greater the impact we

As the funds are collected we will be tracking the progress on a poster by adding lightning bolts moving toward Malawi and by adding pure water droplets heading toward Indonesia. It should be exciting to see those icons add up ($100 per icon) as we approach our twin goals.

This is always an exciting time for the student body of WLHS as we all work together on different activities striving to reach our goal of $25,000. We wash cars (May 14), come together for Hide-a-way Café talent show, have a cook-out, hold sports tournaments, and have special foods prepared by the faculty.

Balances can also be transferred to a sibling’s account upon request. Both of these must be done at the reception window no later than May 25, 2016. Those on the Viking Dollars Lunch Refund List will have checks mailed to them in June. Those who do not make a request, will lose all money in their account.

3.

All students are encouraged to view their balance daily at checkout to ensure proper funds are available toward the end of the school year.

All students with a negative balance must come current in their account to fulfill requirements for graduation.

Those with a negative balance will be reminded daily at checkout until all balances in arrears are taken care of.

GRADUATION SERIVCE

GRADUATION PICTURES

Our worship service, praising our Lord for the blessings received by our graduates during their years at our school, will be held on Sunday, May 29, at 2:00 P.M. in the REX Center (gym) on the Wisconsin Lutheran College campus. Doors open at 1:00 P.M.

We will have a professional photographer take pictures of our graduates as they receive their diplomas. This will eliminate the need for families to rush to the stage to take pictures. We request that you take any personal pictures of your child in cap and gown before and after the ceremony, not during it.

GRADUATION TICKETS Due to limited seating, tickets are required for admission into the graduation service.

Each senior will have thirteen tickets to distribute to his or her guests. If the senior does not need all his/her tickets, the tickets can be given to a friend.

Due to the capacity of the gym, there is not enough room for everyone who would like to attend the service. Please do not ask us for more tickets as there will be no extras. The tickets will be given to each student in their graduation cap and gown package.

GRADUATION CAPS & GOWNS On Friday, April 22, Jostens Company will be here distributing graduation caps & gowns and other items ordered from them (graduation announcements/ invitations, etc.) Graduation tickets will also be given to each student along with their cap & gown. If your student does not come home with a cap & gown and their tickets, be sure to let us know immediately.

Guidance Department Information

SUMMER SCHOOL

COURSE SELECTION

At times it becomes necessary for the Guidance Office to counsel students in the area of summer school.

The following information may help you as you consider whether your student should attend summer school as part of his or her educational plan. Basically, there are two reasons that students from Wisconsin Lutheran High School may have to consider summer school.

A copy of your student’s tentative course requests for next year will be sent home April 18th. Please take time with your student to review his/her future academic plan. If you have scheduling questions or want to know about scheduling changes, please contact Mr. Bremer.

j A student may have lost a semester or more of credit

After reviewing it, please sign the tentative course request page and send it back to the homeroom teacher via your student

by April 25th.

during the course of the regular school year. Generally, the Guidance Office recommends summer school to students who are behind on minimum units required for graduation.

k A student may not have met successful completion

requirements for a particular class. A “C” or better is the definition of successfully completing a course. A number of our courses across the curriculum have this “successful completion” requirement. Our curriculum guide can be accessed through our website at www.wlhs.org to check for courses that have this requirement.

FUTURE ACT TEST Saturday, June 11, 2016

– Not at WLHS

– Registration deadline is May 6

Any summer school courses that students want to take must first receive the approval of Mr. Bremer, Guidance Director. When considering which summer school courses to take, students should adhere to the following directives: P Course content must be in keeping with the WLHS curriculum and should enhance or improve a student’s four-year academic plan at WLHS. P

Do not choose courses that are not a part of the curriculum at WLHS if credit is to be awarded on a student’s transcript and be counted towards WLHS graduation requirements.

P Several public summer school courses, although accepted as credit recovery by WLHS, do not prepare students for future coursework at our high school.

There are a number of sites in the area where students can take summer school courses. A student’s local public school district may offer what many of our students are seeking for summer school but may try to place students into coursework that is not in line with WLHS requirements.

Parents, if you are considering summer school for your child, you should begin the process now.

If you have questions regarding your student and summer school, please contact Mr. Bremer in the Guidance Office during the school day.
