News and Announcements

Can you hear them? Do you see them? They are coming! Those wonderful, special, endearing, stressful, pressure-filled, exhausting, and expensive holidays. We love them. We hate them.

There is an old high school adage that goes, “When you have a good football season, you will have a good school year.” I have no idea of where this statement originates, though through the years, I have not put much credence to it. But, having experienced the tremendous success of all of our fall sports and activities at Concordia, I understand the essence of this claim. As exciting as winning a state championship in football has been for our school, the tremendous respect our players and coaches have earned and witness of faith they have demonstrated through the fall season has been a honor to witness.

Concordia Lutheran High School students in the Spanish department prepare for an inaugural celebration of Las Posadas. Four hundred students in grades 9-12 have been working for over a month to plan the event scheduled for Dec 7. Students will gather Wednesday from 7-8 p.m. in the Cadet Cafe at the high school.

For decades, Concordia Lutheran High School has been gathering and donating gifts to the Christmas Bureau for children in need. This year, 32 families (144 individuals in all) will benefit from the many donations from students, faculty and staff.

In January, we will remember the 1967 and 2002 team for what they achieved on the gridiron. That is a good thing. Even 49 years later, we honor those who did something special and are not forgotten in time.

The Mad Ants will honor the Class 3A state football champion Concordia Cadets at this Saturday’s home game against the Windy City Bulls. The game begins at 7 p.m.

It’s a great reminder during the hustle and bustle of the season. I need to be still and remember that during everything else that I have going on I am still a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend and a child of Jesus Christ.
