Current Juniors: Plan to attend the Summer College Boot Camp on August 1 and 2. The Boot Camp is a hands-on experience where you will work on actual college application materials, including college essays. We will also hold an ACT/SAT review session to help students taking these tests in the fall. Admission interviewing techniques will also be covered. Space is limited. See Mrs. Slack for more information and a registration form.

The end of the year is right around the corner. Please have all outstanding debt paid in the kitchen. This means IOUs and negative balances on lunch cards. Deadline for seniors is May 23. The final deadline for underclassmen is May 29. Please plan accordingly.

Locker clean-up will be Friday, May 24th during chapel time. We will be on a schedule #2. Students should start taking items not needed home.

Thank you to all the students, faculty and staff who made CitySERVE 2013 a huge success. God blessed us with beautiful weather and a lot of great service was accomplished for those in need.

A reminder to all students that participated in CityServe that you need to turn in a service record form to receive credit for your service hours. Mr. Ressler will sign the form after you turn it in to the box in the IMC. Make sure the rest of the form is completed correctly.

Host Families Needed for International Students. Do you have a heart for youth ministry and an interest in international students? We will be enrolling a number of international students, primarily from China, for the 2013-2014 school year and we are looking for host families. Students typically arrive in early August and return to their home country the following June. A monthly stipend is provided.

Interested? Please call Mrs. Hyldee Hess at 440-333-1660 Ext. 163 for more information.

Lutheran West and Dr Ed Meyer, Baldwin Wallace University Professor of Physics are co-sponsoring a series of week-long Gedanken Institutes for Problem Solving designed to improve the thinking skills of intellectually curious 12-17 year-olds.

The Institute will provide the opportunity for students to practice deep, sustained thought. It will develop the student's mental strength and stamina. The problems presented are not from any school subject. This is not a "math camp." Problems will involve pattern recognition, risk management, logic, operations research, three-dimensional thinking as well as many others. Students will work in groups to develop communication and consensus-building skills and there will be some competition as well.

Dates for the 2013 Institutes are:

June 24th - 28th (at Lutheran West)
July 8th-12th (at Baldwin Wallace University)
July 22nd - 26th (at Lutheran West)
