There are eight trips being offered, some being ministerial in nature, others being academic.
MISSION TRIPS:
Honduras
Jamaica
New Orleans
Nicaragua
ACADEMIC/ADVENTURE TRIPS:
Madrid, Spain
New York City, NY
Sea Camp, Florida
A GLIMPSE INTO WORLD IMPACT
"The Honduras trip is a combined Landmark/ELCA trip. We had nine ELCA students and over 30 Landmark students and chaperones. The main goal of the trip is to reach the Tolupan people who live in the mountains of Honduras. In order to reach them for Christ, we perform service projects to show God's love. Since we were a large group, we divided into three groups to work in three different cities. We were able to work on a lot of projects- helping to build a house for teachers that walk hours to school each day, digging a trench for a water pipe to connect to a house, mudding a hut, harvesting corn and coffee, and much more. My highlight of the trip was not only seeing the ELCA students working hard and not complaining, but also seeing them share the gospel and praying for the people. Every time a family came into the medical clinic or when we were at a school, we had a chance to present the gospel with our bracelets and pray with them. It is definitely an amazing experience to pray with someone about Jesus who has just heard about him for the first time. I am so proud of how our students served and loved the people of Honduras." - Melody Harris, Trip Leader

A COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
SAGE Dining Service's commitment to sustainability is visible in their efforts to use safe, local, and organic products whenever possible; to minimize waste; and to educate others about sustainable practices.
SAGE develops partnerships with local suppliers to increase the use of seasonal products, support sustainable local farming initiatives, and reduce fossil fuel emissions. In fact, 56% of SAGE suppliers are local, defined as within 150 miles.
SAGE encourages trayless dining to reduce water waste, as well as recycling, composting, and the use of reusable or biodegradable cutlery and serviceware whenever possible to minimize garbage production.
They support fair trade practices by purchasing products made by workers who experience safe, healthy working conditions and earn fair wages. They also purchase Energy Star®-rated appliances, which are more energy-efficient than minimum production guidelines require. They abide by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch®, which recommends seafood fished or farmed in ways that have a lower impact on the environment, thus protecting sea life and habitats for the future.

High School Chorus Students Get Studio Work
On Thursday, May 4th and Friday, May 5th, our high school chorus was asked to record vocals for the song One Voice written by Kevin Hornsby who now runs Camp Anderson in Florida. The high school students learned what it is like to go into the studio and record backup vocals. Cody Marshall, the studio owner from Georgia Moon Studio in Conyers, hired us for this project. Matt Duren, the Worship Pastor at Eagles Landing First Baptist Church arranged the music and worked with the students to help them learn the parts. Mr. Marshall, the studio owner was not only impressed with the talent of these students, but was also impressed with their attitudes and willingness to work.

Celebrity Vocal Coach Visits ELCA
May has been an exciting and busy month for our chorus department, First, on May 2nd and 3rd, Diane Sheets came down from Nashville to work with our singers and chorus classes.
The students participated in everything from group evaluations to master classes with her. We all learned a lot and she was very impressed with the talent in our school. Below is a little information about her.
With more than 20 years of music business experience, Nashville-based celebrity vocal coach Diane Sheets is the magic behind some of the best voices in music today. For two decades, artists like Little Big Town, Natalie Grant, Danny Gokey, Matt Maher, Lauren Daigle and Casting Crowns have depended on Sheets' renowned vocal techniques and progressive approach to vocal production, which allows them to give award-winning performances both in-studio and on-stage. In addition, Sheets has worked with countless session singers and developing artists. Furthermore, she is often called upon by some of Music Row's biggest record labels to assist in developing the fresh voices major A&R departments are scouting.
