Our middle school students recently finished the third round of the Martin Luther College Meet Math competition. Students worked on six competition level math problems. You can see our school and individual student results and rankings by visiting https://meetmath.mlc-wels.edu/results/view . Our Salem fifth and sixth-grade students are in the B-5 category, and our seventh and eighth-grade students are in the A-6 category. Categories are determined by school size. The final test date this school year is February 24. Meet Math is a service club at Martin Luther College that provides mathematics contests for students in grades 5-12 who are enrolled in WELS or ELS schools. This club also maintains school and individual statistics that are the basis for various awards presented at the end of the school year.

The School Board is planning on slowly changing our tuition model. If you would like more information on what this new model looks like we will have two sessions to explain the change this coming Sunday (1/19) after both services and next Wednesday (1/22) at 4pm. Both sessions will be held in the church sanctuary. We will have teachers watching children in the gym during the Wednesday session. It should only take 10 minutes for the explanation and a Q&A will follow. The only change to you this year is that we are asking you to fill out TADS financial aid. There will be no increase or change to the tuition other than the typical 3% for next year. This will drop your tuition from the $7000 it takes to educate your child down to the member or nonmember tuition rates. If you don’t fill out TADS, you are obligating yourself to
