Hi everyone! This year's The Walking Saints 2017 Walk-a-thon event is to help raise money in our ongoing efforts to pay for the newly renovated track and field here at Lutheran High School. I spent my first two years at Lutheran playing on the rough dirt/grass mixture we used as a football field, and can tell you from experience, it was rough to say the least. Last year, we were unable to host the Regional Championship football game, the soccer Sectional Championships, or ANY home track meets due to unsafe conditions, and lack of seating. This past summer, we were finally able as a school to begin the building process of the new track and field. It was a close call, with the field only being finished a few days before our first scrimmage, but we did it. Now, in my junior year at Lutheran, I have been blessed to play on this state of the art playing surface. The difference in playing quality is almost unbelievable. Our track and field have greatly affected me as a football player, but its not just the athletes that have been affected by this installation. The school as a whole has been brought together through this event. Last year, Lutheran celebrated their 40th year anniversary. Through that as students, as a faculty, and as a school, we were able to make a statement to the generations that came before us, and the generations that are yet to come. We are ready for Lutheran to take the next step. These efforts are clear proof. The financial burden attached to this field is no small amount however. That's why we need your help! Your donation goes to our efforts to finally pay off the new track and field, to finally "put in stone" the ideals we are trying to pass on to the future. Please prayerfully consider donating to help Lutheran High School. Help us take the next step, and be a example to those who look up to us. God bless!
