Greetings from MLHS,

As we begin to transition from Winter to Spring there are many events I am personally excited about. We are only a few weeks away from March Madness, which is then quickly followed by the Master’s Golf Tournament. You will find me in front of TV more during these 4-5 weeks than any other time of the year. Students will begin to talk about Spring Break, and the anticipation for the summer is setting in. Can you believe that is only a few months away? Maybe you remember that feeling when you were a student here at MLHS. With all of those exciting feelings that comes with the Spring season, none of them compare to the reason we get to rejoice everyday of our lives. That reason is the death and resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ. We are entering the season of Lent, a season to reflect on our imperfections and short comings that sent Jesus to the cross, but ends with the glorious resurrection of our Savior. I pray that all of our alumni have a blessed Easter season and I look forward to the continued partnership with the ministry here at Manitowoc Lutheran High School.

Big News:  We have a March Match!

We have recently been given gifts of $600,000 to use towards a matching grant funds drive for the campaign! What a blessing! For the next 4 to 5 weeks, we will be looking to match those funds. Reaching that goal will bring us 1.2 million dollars closer to our capital campaign ministry project. All new donations or pledges to the project will be counted towards this match. With our groundbreaking goal looming near, now is the time to see this project through. This addition will expand MLHS's ministry of spreading the gospel to as many members of the community and around the world as we can. As always, thank you Lancer Family for your support. We could never do it without you!

A huge thank you to Jon Schwalbe, class of '72, for organizing and running a concession stand at home Packer games for MLHS! This last season brought in an additional $13,000 in donations to our school. Fellow alumni Renee Megnes said, “Jon pours his heart and soul into being the organizer for running the stand that FOL has at Lambeau Field. He does an AMAZING job at this and just LOVES the people has met over the years who are Packer fans that literally come from all over the world.” Volunteers are at the heart of all our school events. If you see one, please take a moment to thank them for the difference they are making.

If you want to make a difference, FOL is always looking for more volunteers for MLHS home games and Packer season concessions. As a perk this season, FOL got bumped up to the heated & air-conditioned BOX SEATS!
