For my Nutrition and Wellness classes, we don’t begin cooking until students learn kitchen safety and sanitation. Everyone needs to learn to use a fire extinguisher and to mop up spills. I teach students to wash dishes, which sounds silly, but it is not uncommon for students to look around for a dishwasher and are lost when all they have are a sink, some Palmolive, and a dish rag. Despite my demonstration, I have to reteach the dishwashing lesson when I find dirty dishes in the cabinet.

I’m not crying anymore, but I have to admit I had a few emotional moments earlier today. I wasn’t alone.

The Concordia Lutheran High School Athletic Department is looking forward to the 2021-2022 athletic season. We are planning on returning to normal attendance this fall at all of our home athletic events without any of the previous pandemic-related restrictions.
