Tragedy in Waukesha …

November 22, 2021

Yesterday, on November 21, tragedy struck our little town of Waukesha. During the annual Christmas parade, a man drove his vehicle through the crowd and parade participants, fatally harming five individuals and injuring close to fifty others. Many of our staff and students were in that crowd. One minute they were enjoying the activities and […]

Bless the Lord, oh my soul …

October 31, 2021

Our souls have been busy praising Jesus! He has blessed us in ways that we never saw coming! He allowed us to pull together a quick visit to NE this month. We were humbled to see Holly and her family and to be able to love on those NE grandbabies. They are getting so big! […]

Calendar Overload …

September 28, 2021

As we began this month of September, we thought we had it altogether. Our calendar looked manageable … it was set … but then “things” started happening … and the calendar was full! There were a lot of activities and events, rearranging of work schedules and being hospitable to new families. We even had the […]

Discipleship …

August 30, 2021

Last week we had our first staff meeting of the new school year! A devotional was shared that focused on discipleship and we were encouraged to continue to invest well into the lives of our students. Why do we do discipleship? Because we want to challenge their thinking, based on the word of God. Because […]

Busy Days …

July 28, 2021

The days are becoming busy as the first of August is fast approaching. Since most of our staff are back on campus, there is now more traffic in the halls and workers in the offices. Teams are meeting to “catch up” and “fill in” each other as to what has been accomplished this summer and […]

I Still Choose You!

June 22, 2021

Jared and I always look forward to summer but in recent years our views of summer are so different. You see, we are looking at summer through different lenses. Jared sees his summer as having projects to do around the school and what it takes to get it all accomplished by a certain due date, […]

Bittersweet Goodbye – Class of 2021

May 16, 2021

Saying good-bye to this senior class is bittersweet due to the limited contact we have had with them since covid hit our nation last year. Our interaction and investment had been limited up until a few weeks ago and now it seems we have all new students since their masks have been removed. But regardless […]

One Of The Guys …

April 26, 2021

Garrett is one of the young men who has been working on Jared’s team. He will be leaving us this summer, so I asked him about his time here and this is what he shared … “It has been a great learning experience and honor to have had the chance to work on the maintenance […]

Smashing Trash …

March 27, 2021

Smashing trash may not seem appealing but it is certainly necessary when the bins are overflowing, and the city garbage truck does not come for another three days. At times, it can become a bit direr finding space in the bins to dump your trash when you are sharing those garbage bins with seven other […]

Cruising in Winter …

February 28, 2021

Jared and his team have been cruising this month of February here in Wisconsin … cruising the sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots around the school property. We have gotten at least 24 inches of snow, if not more … and it has been really really cold! I am amazed at how eager this team is […]
