“Why send your children to a Lutheran School?”
Lisa Schwenker, PTL President, welcomed
everyone and introduced the PLT Board and PTL Advisory Board
members. Lisa announced that we made $2200 from the
fireworks stand this summer and thanked everyone for their help
with the set up, the running and the tearing down. PTL
handbooks are printed and will be sent home with the youngest
school age child. Check the backpacks to get yours!!

raffle tickets for the German Flag colored quilt to raise money
for Germanfest. They are $1 each or 6 for $5. Prizes
will be awarded to the top 3 sellers. If you have more
than one child in the school their sales will be combined and
considered to be 1 child.

Mrs. Oldenettel let us know that
enrollment is up by 13 students from last year. She also
thanked all the summer helpers who helped get the school back in
shape for the new school year. The upstairs library was painted,
a safety mat was put around the merry go round, and wood chips
were spread underneath the play area. Mrs. Oldenettel also
thanked the PTL for their contributions to the KSHSAA as we have
4 students participating in Middle School sports programs,
