October School News Tuition Assistance The last two Sundays in September were fundraising Sundays for our Tuition Assistance account for Salem Lutheran School. This fund helps families who cannot afford the tuition for various reasons. With the money we received last year, we were able to help 15 families send their children to Salem. If you would like to give to the tuition assistance fund, you can give your donations to either Debbie Swanson or Diane Light. Thanks for all of your help and support of your school. Scholarship Endowment Fund Last voter’s meeting, the congregation approved the start of a Scholarship Endowment Fund for tuition assistance. This fund will work hand in hand with the current fund to help families with tuition needs who want to send their kids to Salem.

The School Board is working on a grant that we can use t...

David showed solid goalkeeping in the first half of the game, with multiple saves early on.  Reese was once again key on the back end for the Saints, showing his leadership and direction for the defense. Our strong defensive play kept a fairly evenly game well into the first half.  Midway through the first half, a penalty kick resulted in the Cougars taking the lead.  ...

Hello 5th-8th grade families! This Sunday, September 30th, grades 5-8 will sing in church at the 10:30am service. We will be singing Hope in the Lord. The kids have done a fantastic job learning this song with Mrs. H. and Mrs. Klatt, and we are excited to hear them sing it in church! Please have your child in Mrs. H.'s room at 10:15am so that we can warm-up together. We will sing at the very beginning of the service. After we are done singing everyone will be dismissed to sit with their families--or go to the West Tournament if they are in volleyball. If your child is in 5th or 6th grade and cannot attend, please let Mrs. H. know. If your child is in 7th or 8th grade and cannot attend, please let Mrs. Klatt know.  God's Blessings, Mrs. Klatt
