“The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.” Ps 145:18

Please assist us in student and traffic safety as you drop off and pick up your student:

1. Please slow down in the school zone and watch for pedestrians.
2. Proper drop-off and pick-up procedure is to either go to the back parking lot, or to pull to the curb on the east side of Luedtke, in front of the school, staying out of the bus lane.
3. Do not stop in the middle of Luedtke Avenue to drop off/pick up your child. This causes a traffic jam, a chain reaction of multiple people stopping, and results in impatient drivers passing in the left lane causing dangerous conditions for incoming traffic and students crossing the street.
4. Watch out for and be patient with students stopping to parallel park.

RLHS HARVEST FAIR KICKOFF MEETING — Tuesday, September 1, 6:30 p.m., RLHS cafeteria. Parents, alumni, grandparents, friends, and anyone interested in helping to make this years Fair a success is invited to attend this meeting and get involved! All profits are given to our high school to benefit our students.

Every family is expected to volunteer at least 20 hours of service each school year (July 1-June 30) to directly benefit RLHS. PLEASE NOTE- RLHS student responsibilities, commitments, and expectations that are part of a sport or club (NHS, Student Council, Student Ambassadors, team events) do not count toward the 20 RLHS service hours.

We ask that six of those hours are spent volunteering at our Thrift Shop. The Thrift Shop is open Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays and is looking for help during morning shifts (10 a.m.-1 p.m.) and afternoon shifts (1 p.m.- 4 p.m.). Students, parents, grandparents, and friends of RLHS are needed to sort, clean, price and display merchandise and work in the store. One adult and one student, or two adults, are needed for each shift. SATURDAY VOLUNTEERS ARE ESPECIALLY NEEDED!

To sort, clean, price and/or help with incoming donations – call Pat Hellenberg 262.498.8851. To help with checkout/cashier – call Barb Tertel 262.632.1070.

Call Peggy Groth 262.498.2161 or Judy Lamers 262.321.4095.

Once your family completes 20 hours, your student will receive a gift certificate for a free lunch at RLHS! Additionally, at the end of the school year, the three families with the most volunteer hours will be awarded a $50 credit to their RLHS school account, which can be applied toward various expenses such as lunch balance, athletic fee, yearbook, parking pass, and more!

We are excited to announce another improvement with our new BOUND system! Beginning this school year, all family volunteer hours can be entered and managed through BOUND. We are moving away from JMC for volunteer management, making it easier than ever for families to sign up, record, and monitor their service hours.

To access volunteer opportunities and record your hours, simply create a BOUND account if you haven’t already (Follow the Instructions to Create your account as though you are registering your child for an activity). Once your account is set up, you’ll be able to link your account to your child at Racine Lutheran (Use Student ID to claim your child), and keep track of your family’s volunteer commitment all in one convenient location. To record and see your service hours. Click on the three dots on your child’s profile and click the view profile button. Then click the edit student button. From there, you will see a Service area in your child’s profile. Click on Service and record your hours.

We are currently seeking passionate and dedicated coaches to join our athletics program for the upcoming school year.
