TESTING THIS WEEK
This week our freshman and sophomores will be taking the FastBridge Assessments. Tuesday, Freshman and sophomores will take the reading portions in their introduction to chemistry and biology courses. Thursday, sophomores will take the math portion during their Old Testament course, followed by the freshman on Friday during PE9.
"FastBridge’s valid and reliable assessments help educators identify students’ academic and social-emotional behavior (SEB) needs faster, align the right interventions at the right time, and measure whether interventions are helping students catch up—all in one platform."
If you have questions please contact LLS Curriculum Coordinator Mr. Corey Marohn, Cmarohn@mlhslancers.org
BREAKFAST PUNCH CARDS
Greeting Lancers and Lancer parents-
We are off to a good start to our school year. I want to make you aware of one change to our breakfast option. Students will now need to purchase a breakfast punch card in the office to buy breakfast items instead of applying these directly to TADS. In addition, to purchase the punch cards, students will need to use either cash or a card. They can't buy the punch card with TADS funds. Students will have the option to either keep their own card or have our food service workers keep it for them to avoid losing it.
The purpose of this change is that we encountered an issue last year with students accumulating a large debt without parents realizing it. Additionally, it is a time-consuming process for our office staff to enter those transactions. If this works well, we may explore other ways to move away from TADS for smaller purchases. Our general rule for TADS is that parents need to "sign off" on purchases; however, we have some exceptions to this at this time.
Thank you for your attention to this change. To keep you informed, the items the students can purchase are listed in the link below along with other info on the hot lunch and breakfast programs.

SCHOLARSHIP NEWSLETTER- STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS.ORG
ALUMNI ARE YOU PLANNING A REUNION?
WE'RE HERE TO HELP!
Please contact Kevin Buch at kmbuch@mlhslancers.org or 920-973-0465 in the Mission Advancement Office when when you begin the process; we have many options to take advantage of when planning your reunion.
SAVE THE DATE
Let us do the work and send out a Save the Date notification email. MLHS recommends that you send this out six months prior to the reunion. (A postcard will be mailed to any classmates who do not have an email)
MLHS can design the save the date announcement/image. All we need from you is the following: (If you have a design in mind we can work with you.)
Date of the Reunion
Time of Reunion
Location of Reunion
Any extra information you want on there.
If you have an image you would like included you can attach it to your reply.
Please Note: You will receive a list of your classmates and their contact information to verify before we send out the Save the Date. That list will come to your email soon, so watch for that.
INVITATION
Let us do the work and send out your Class Reunion invitation. MLHS recommends that you send this out six to eight weeks in advance of your reunion. The invitation will look similar to the save the date, but will include all of the detail about your reunion that you provide.
PROMOTION OF YOUR REUNION ON MLHS SOCIAL MEDIA
MLHS is happy to help promote your reunion through our social media, website, and upcoming publications. If you form a social media group, we can share a link to that as well!
BOOKLET
Let us put together a Class Reunion Booklet for you to share!
This booklet would contain any updated information that your classmates want to share. Their updates are collected by having them all fill out an online form. A link to that form would be included on the Save the Date email/mailing, or on the invite, whichever you prefer.
MLHS will print them all out for you and have them available for you to share at the class reunion. A digital copy can also be sent to everyone. This is a nice feature especially for those that are not able to make it to the reunion.
TOURS OF YOUR HIGH SCHOOL
A lot has changed since you have graduated, and we would love to share these blessings with you. This is a guided tour with lots of fun facts and maybe even some stories you didn’t know about. These tours tend to bring out memories from your time at MLHS. You might even learn about something you never even knew about!
SPEAKER AT YOUR REUNION
If you would like someone to come to your celebration and give a presentation on MLHS, or be available for a short Question and Answer Session, we can line up someone to do just that!
PHOTOGRAPHER?
Would you like an MLHS representative to come and take some updated class pictures? Don’t worry about finding someone in the building to take the picture! Just let us know and we can provide someone to take a class picture and some candids too! For 1 hour of your reunion we can capture the memories for you!
VIDEO MONTAGE/SLIDESHOW:
If you would like MLHS to put together a short video of your times here at MLHS from photos that we have on file or photos submitted from your classmates, we can do that too! This feature will depend on whether there is enough turned in to make a montage. Some classes have each person’s senior picture on the screen with any updated photo they submit along side of it. Sort of like a “that was then, this is now” type display. Of course, all of this depends on what can be pulled together. On the Save the Date and Invitation, we would include instructions on how classmates could submit their photos or short video clips for the montage.
In this new section, information shared by the Federation congregations and Lakeshore Lutheran schools with MLHS regarding the happenings, job openings, upcoming events, news. etc. can now be found weekly all in one place! Right here in the Lancer Express.
To be featured, have questions, or have something to be included from your congregation coming up? Please email Paul Durkee (pdurkee@mlhslancers.org) in the Mission Advancement office for more information.
