In connection with WELSSA (Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod School Accreditation) and our own school vision, our faculty is preparing a series of spiritual articles to aid in our faculty’s professional growth and our Faith family’s spiritual growth. The theme of these articles is taken out of our school vision. The theme is “Growing our Relationship with God.” As you may or may not know, there are several ways that are available through Faith to help you grow in your relationship with God. The articles will address the topics of worship, Bible class/Sunday School, home devotions, prayer, fellowship, and service. In each article, you will find information, tips, and encouragement to help aid you in your daily walk with God. The articles will follow this schedule:

We hope that you find these articles to be beneficial to growing in your relationship with God.

In the past Faith has provided a school directory with a listing of all students, their grade, parents names, address and home phone number.

Since the introduction of our new Student Information System (SIS), all of this information is now available to students, parents and staff members through their computer or smart device using a browser.

If you have not logged into our new SIS please consider doing so! There are so many things available through our Family Portal like calendar events, printable directories, past school communications, student grades, attendance and more.

If you need assistance please contact the office so we can assist you!

Because of preschool being out last week and missing picture day today, pictures for our 3/5 day preschoolers will be taken on Thursday, October 14th, 2021. Please return the envelope to the teacher even if you are NOT ordering anything because we use this to make photo ID's for each child. Monday-Tuesday preschool student pictures will be taken on retake day which is Tuesday, October 19th.

Sports pictures will be taken on the next two photos days. If you have a student in a fall sport please have your child bring their uniform to school on Thursday, October 14 or Tuesday, October 19 for their photo. Because of social distancing there will not be group photos. The photographer will take individual photos and make a composite of them to create a group photo of each team.

Faith Lutheran Church and School is now accepting applications for a part-time Financial Associate. Email office@faithantioch.org if you would like to receive a position description and more information on how to apply.

Faith is continuing with our virtual art fair again this year. Weekly a volunteer takes photos on Friday afternoons (thank you Mrs. McNaughton) but we need another volunteer to make any edits and organize those photos into proper folders within Flickr. Training will be provided to anyone willing to help. If kept up weekly this will be no more than an hour to an hour-and-a-half a week of time needed.

Please contact Tammy in the office 847-395-1660 or office@faithantioch.org if you can help.

Thank you!

Faith Lutheran School has received much needed door maintenance resulting in new glass entry doors being installed in the main entry. The old entry doors had reached the point of being beyond repair. The side, gym, and back teacher entry doors all received a fresh coat of paint (inside gray, outside blue) to match the new sign installed last year. Rust/metal maintenance was also performed. Thank you to Mark Cobb for donating the time and materials for our new, blue doors!

Classroom closeup: Mrs. Dorst's K-2nd graders are having fun AND learning at the same time!

2nd grade loves to write their spelling words on their desks. And 1st grade did their spelling words in carrots. (We love when we get to eat our learning!) And our kindergartners worked on hand-strengthening activities like snapping cubes, squeezing things, & play-doh!

Basketball and cheerleading coaches and assistant coaches are needed for our winter sports program.  Several parents mentioned interest this summer.  Now is the time to speak with Mr. Kopczynski, to learn more about our program, and to be considered for these positions.

Faith also needs a Concession Stand Coordinator (CSC). The CSC purchases the food with our budgeted funds and sells food and water at the three home basketball games.  If unable to be at the games, the CSC can ask other parents to help. Interested in helping our program?  Talk to Mr. Kopczynski to learn more.

Talking to Mr. Kopczynski about coaching or working as CSC does not mean that you are immediately making a commitment. Speak with him and learn more.

Faith has a few openings remaining for Preschool in the M-T session ONLY. If you know a family with preschoolers age 3-4 let them know about our preschool program. Invite them for a tour of our awesome preschool facility. Call the office at 847-395-1660.

A couple of weeks ago Mrs. Dorst, our K-2 Teacher, was our preschool mystery reader. If you are interested in being a mystery reader please contact Mrs. Fendel at afendel@faithantioch.org to see what spots are available.
