Reunion Zero Keeps Senior Graduates Connected to Wisco

5/23/2019

Reunion Zero is becoming a tradition at Wisco. On the last Wednesday of the last week of school, our outgoing seniors are invited to a senior lunch sponsored by the Mission Advancement team. At the event, seniors have the chance to socialize with classmates, teachers, and even some alumni on the YALC (Young Alumni Leader Council). Fun giveaways, and a photo booth help connect seniors with their alma mater before they head out to future college, military, or career goals. We wish the graduating Class of 2019 God's richest blessings on their future! For more photos, visit wlhs.org/photos.

April is National Donate Life Month

4/18/2019

Many people in the Wisco family have been impacted by organ donors. It is fitting to recognize this since April is National Donate Life Month! Over 36,000 organ donations were performed in 2018, but many more are still waiting. Including Wisco alum Joel Kammueller ('88) and Ezekiel Gipson ('00) who are both looking for kidney donors. Please keep both in your prayers! For more information about living organ donations through UW-Madison hospital, visit this link.

Recent kidney donor, Cynthia (Fitzsimmons) Krueger ('99), Assistant Director of Alumni Development at WLHS says, "Being a living organ donor was NEVER on my bucket list. Donating a kidney was an incredibly humbling experience. I was surprised at what a gift it was in my life and how it strengthened my faith and trust in God's unique plans for our lives. Never doubt what a difference YOU can make in this world!"
