Eagle Scout Project

On Saturday, April 28, Nicholas Fenner from Troop 223 led a group of volunteers in completing his service project toward the rank of Eagle Scout. His project included fixing the flagpole and landscaping and painting an entrance to the school. Only 2% of all young men who join the Scouting program reach the rank of Eagle Scout. Many astronauts and Presidents are Eagle Scouts. A couple of notable Eagle Scouts include the first human to step on the moon, Neil Armstrong, Steven Spielberg, and John Tesh. By the way, Bill Gates made it to Life Scout. Thanks to Nicholas and crew the entrance looks great!

Service Project

Recently Lutheran High students under the direction of the Student Leadership Team supervised by Ms. Steinke conducted a clothing and food drive to benefit local charities. Over 1,400 pieces of clothing were collected and donated to Covenant House and 214 lbs. of food items donated to Second Harvesters Food Bank.

In another project students assisted the local Thrivent chapter in bagging items to be used in hurricane relief efforts at St. John's church in Laplace.
