Take yourself back to your grade school years…. As a child, the anticipation of going to high school was an exciting time; something that you could not wait for. How and when do families decide where their children will attend high school? What influences a family’s decision? Is it the location, the curriculum, the size of the school, or is it the basketball coach? Last year, WLA began a program inviting 5th graders from our association grade schools, along with public school 5th graders, to spend a morning with us. Winnebago Lutheran Academy hopes that this special morning will aid in the families decision making.
So far WLA students, staff and faculty have welcomed 5th grade students (and a few 6th, 7th & 8th graders) from St. John’s, Montello, Peace, Green Lake, St. John’s, Princeton, Redeemer, Fond du Lac and St. Paul’s, North Fond du Lac. Each student was paired up with one of our high school students. They followed their WLA mentor through their normal schedule; to every class, to chapel, to lunch, even to their locker. What a blessing to see all of the excited faces! Winnebago Lutheran Academy looks forward to getting to know the future students and families that will, God willing, make up the class of 2017!
The WLA doors are always open! We invite you to call or stop in anytime for a visit, a tour, or just to chat.
