Hurricane Sandy devasted many...
Hurricane Sandy devistated much of the New York and New Jersey Coast.  There are two WELS churches seeking donations of cash to help members cope with this disaster.  We are challenging the ML student body to meet a challenge goal of $1,000.  If students meet the challenge, Mr. Kruck and Mr. Herbst working with PastorJohn Kenyon (the WELS Planned Giving Counselor for that area) will direct the funds where needed most.  We have $500 toward the challenge amount.  If you would care to contribute all, or some, of the remaining $500 needed please contact Mr. Kruck or Principal Herbst.  Showing our children to be thankful for their blessings is something we need to encourage!
