Did you ever think that your gift to Wisconsin Lutheran High
School could save a child’s life
in
Somalia?
It’s possible!
Consider Leslie, who
graduated from WLHS this past June and plans to double major
in pre-medicine and Spanish in college.
Leslie had a dream of becoming a doctor and her parents wanted
a Christian educational environment. Where could Leslie and
her parents find a Christian high school that focused on high
academic standards? WLHS could provide both, but the tuition
costs were a challenge.
Thanks to your generous
gifts for tuition assistance, Leslie was able to attend WLHS
for all four years, making the honor roll! Now she is enrolled
in college, embarking on the next step toward her dream.
Help me fulfill
the dreams of students like Leslie who want to develop their
God-given talents through a comprehensive, Christian secondary
education at Wisconsin Lutheran High School.
You probably see this in your own home budget every year,
things just cost more. For example, the cost of utilities and
insurance premiums continue to rise. This year, I need to
raise $78,000 for tuition assistance. Your generous gift of
$50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000, or more to our tuition
assistance fund will enable me to reach my goal.
Allow me to share
a little more about Leslie and her experience at Wisconsin
Lutheran High School:

"Attending WISCO has been a blessing for me. I made many good
friends. I’m sure we will remain friends well past our high
school years. We all come from different backgrounds and
different cultures, but we understand and respect each other.
Our faith in Jesus is our common denominator."

Leslie’s desire
for a Christian education moved her to choose, and stay, at
WLHS; of course, that was all part of God’s plan. You know,
you are a part of God’s plan, too. God is using your gifts to
make it possible for families with financial challenges to be
able to afford a Christian education for their children.
Leslie continues:

"I certainly grew academically during my four
years at WISCO.
This is a challenging school.
You have to work hard for your
grades and whatever you want to accomplish. But, WISCO
prepares you for real life, whether that’s college
or a job. I
know my hard work will pay off.
I also grew in my faith thanks to
what I learned from my religion teachers. Chapel was really
helpful. Prayer, praising God, and receiving
God’s blessing
were great ways to start my day!"

WLHS offers a
variety of classes to help students achieve their God-given
potential.
Most importantly, God’s Word permeates everything we do in our
classrooms, chapel, at sporting events, and social activities.
And what about Leslie’s dream? |

 |
|
"I’ve wanted to be a pediatrician since I was in
7 th
grade. After I get my medical degree, I plan on traveling with
a medical team at least once or twice
a year to third world
countries.
I want
to help less fortunate children, and through
my career as a
doctor, I believe that I can. I want to spread God’s Word to
others and glorify Him by us." |

There are many more "Leslies"
just waiting to share their stories. Young people at WLHS are
learning in our classrooms because you have given them the
means to be here through your gifts of tuition assistance.
With your help, they too will continue to pursue their dreams.
God-willing, they will also change lives by sharing Jesus.
Help me continue to provide this
Christian education to young people – and in God’s divine and
often intricate plan – perhaps together we can even reach out
to lives in the far-reaches of the world.
With joy in His Service,

Pastor Jim Kleist, Superintendent
(’68)
Wisconsin Lutheran High School Conference

P.S. Imagine it
is now the year 2025. Leslie achieved her dream. With the
blessing of the Christian education and the personal
encouragement she received
at WLHS, she is now a pediatrician.
God’s plan for her life leads her on a
medical mission to
Somalia. There she treats a young boy with life-saving
medical
care. She is serving God by helping her fellow man and by
sharing her Savior, Jesus Christ.
