Grace Lutheran School
New Departmentalized Schedule

   Our 2 full- and 2 part-time teachers have met repeatedly this summer in preparation for the upcoming school year.  Mr. Gledhill, Mrs. VanSickle, Mrs. Arnold, and Miss Rudick have been working out details in preparing for our new departmentalized schedule. 
   Mrs. VanSickle will teach Language Arts with an emphasis in writing; Mrs. Arnold will teach Reading; Mr. Gledhill will teach Science and Social Studies; and Miss Rudick will teach Religion and Math. 
   There will be 4 groups of students traveling from class to class: K – 2nd grades;3rd/4th grades; 5th/6th grades; and 7th/8th grades.  The teachers are excited about this new schedule profile since it allows each teacher to focus on specific curricular areas. 
   Students will have the opportunity to rotate into classes much like those in high school.  They will also have opportunity to experience the different teaching approaches offered by each of our educators. 
   The teachers have also revised the school supply lists.  If you wish a copy of the revised school supply lists, please contact the school office.  Revised school supply lists will also be available during home visits and school registration.  Home visits will be conducted August 9 – August 23.  School registration is August 26th.

 
Rev. Matthew C. Harrison, executive director of LCMS World Relief and Human Care since 2001, is the president-elect of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.  Pastor Harrison was elected on the first ballot July 13 by delegates to the Synod’s 64th Regular Convention in Houston. 

Addressing delegates with a deep pastoral spirit, Harrison said, “If one member suffers, all suffer together.  If one rejoices, all rejoice together.  Right now there are many rejoicing and there are many suffering.”  He called his election “a tumultuous change in the life of our Synod.”  He thanked current president, Rev. Gerald Kieschnick “for his heart for evangelism and his deep desire to move the Synod forward,” and said there would be “challenging times” ahead.

Harrison told delegates “you have kept your perfect record of electing sinners as presidents of the Missouri Synod.  I guarantee you I will sin and fail.  I will fall short.”  He asked for prayers, and promised to “be as straight with you as I possibly can, to the best of my ability, guided by the spirit of God.”  He said he would “work as hard as I possibly can for unity around the clear and compelling Word of God and nothing else.”

Of great benefit for the Synod will be the extensive contacts Harrison has made with confessional Lutheran groups and small and emerging Lutheran bodies around the world during his near decade of serving as director of LCMS World Relief and Human Care.  He is also an excellent theologian whose writings have addressed vital matters of Christian mercy and the church's joy in Christ.  He has also shown a thorough knowledge the history of the LCMS, having translated a volume of writing from previous Synod presidents.  He and his wife, Kathy, have two sons.
