Teaching Staff Complete!

Our teaching staff is now set and complete for the 2007-2008 school year. Last evening Peter Kiehl informed me that he would be accepting our call to be 7th grade homeroom teacher for the next school year! That is awesome news for our middle school. Mr. Kiehl has 7 years of teaching experience, most recently in Jacksonville, Florida. Mr. Kiehl has a real heart for Lutheran education and dedication to the teaching ministry. He considers flexibility and patience to be 2 of his strengths. Mr. Kiehl will be teaching our advanced math classes as well as 7th grade religion, middle school social studies and some pe and computer classes. We are so glad to have Peter and his wife Michelle joining our FLS family! We praise God for the way he directs and leads his people in ministry.

It was good to see so many of you at the reception yesterday for Edy O'Brien. A special thanks goes to Malinda Howard for her hard work to make it such a special and beautiful event. First Lutheran has been so blessed to have Mrs. O'Brien on staff for the last 24 years. We wish her all the best as she embarks on a new phase of life. But we're not letting her get too far. Edy will be subbing for us next year when the need arises!

The school office is open during the summer from 8-3. If you have family or friends interested in enrolling, by all means have them stop by for a tour or to pick up enrollment information.
