Pause to Praise!
FRIEDENS
FLYER
May 6, 2013
“I will exalt you, my God the King; I will
praise your name for ever and ever. Every
day I will praise you and extol your name for
ever and ever. Great is the Lord and most
worthy of praise; his greatness no one can
fathom. One generation commends your
works to another; they tell of your mighty
acts” (Psalm 145: 1-4).
So how has your day started today? “Kids, get
up…we’re running late!” “Another long day
at work ahead of me.” “I don’t know if I can
deal with this relationship any longer.” “Will I
ever find a job?” “Really, can’t we just have
one nice day of weather?” “How are we going
to pay the bills?” “I’m running out of options
to keep my child out of trouble.” And the list
can go on and on.
Before we get too far into our day, we have
quickly discovered all the things that are or
potentially will be wrong about it. Perhaps the
thought flits through our mind, “I wish I would
have stayed in bed.”
The Scripture from Psalm 145 tells a different
story. The individual understood that while it
was easier to blame God for problems, it was
better to praise him as King. While it might
have been easier for this individual to curse the
name of the Lord, it was better to praise his
name forever and ever. While this person may
have been tempted to shove God to the background, he found it better to simply try to
grasp how great he was. While it would be
easier to spend time keeping our children busy
to have an “advantage” in life, he found it
more important to share the mighty acts of the
Lord with his family. How about going back
and restarting your day? Start with a pause to
praise your God, your King for what he has
done in your life. This may mean simply
slowing down enough to ask, “What is
God doing in my life that is praiseworthy?” I’ll let you think about this today.
Read tomorrow’s devotion or more of
Psalm 145 for some ideas of reasons to
praise the Lord.
But today, pause to praise your God and
Lord! Lord’s blessings with your week!

WE NEED YOUR
HELP!
Friedens Lutheran is excited about our fourth
“Jr. Olympics” – a day of competition and
fun! Our Jr. Olympics will be held at
Shoreland Lutheran High School on
Wednesday, May 22nd (Rain Date: Thursday, May 23rd).
The Jr. Olympics will provide the opportunity for all our school children, K-8, to participate in activities that will promote school
spirit, foster leadership, and encourage
Christian sportsmanship. Each child’s individual participation will contribute to their
team’s overall score.
To ensure the success of this day, numerous volunteers will be needed to help
with chaperoning, timing, measuring, recording, scoring, etc. None of these tasks require
any special abilities, prior experiences, or
skills – just willing hands.
Volunteer registry is now open
on our school’s website. Go to
www.friedenswels.org and click
on the school tab located in the top left. Then on
the left side menu click on the Jr. Olympic tab.
On Saturday the 7th & 8th grade team won two
exciting games to bring home the Consolation
Championship! I was extremely proud of the
Christian sportsmanship and toughness of our
teams! We represented our Savior and school
very well. Thank you to all the parents who
helped assist our 5/6 and 7/8 teams: Mr. Jason
Beck, Mr. Jim Giearch, Mr. Cecil Barcalow, and
Mr. Mark Thusius.

Parental Choice Program FAQ
What is the parental choice program?
The parental choice program is a program that allows eligible low-income students to attend a participating private school with
a voucher.
What districts are eligible?
New eligible school districts include districts with enrollment of more than 4000 students and have two or more public schools
listed as fails to meet expectations or meets few expectations on the statewide DPI report card. Twenty students from an eligible district must apply and be accepted to a pre-accredited or accredited school that plans to participate in the program by August 15th for the school district to remain eligible for the program. Under the current proposal nine new districts become eligible: Kenosha, Beloit, Madison, Waukesha, West Allis, Fond du Lac, Sheboygan, Green Bay and Superior.
What students are eligible?
Any student transferring from a public school in the eligible district that is a resident of an eligible school district and has a
family income below 300 percent of the federal poverty level is eligible for the program. In 2013-14 students eligible for free
and reduced lunch are given priority. Current private school students entering K4, K5, 1st grade, and 9th grade that meet the
residency and income requirements are also eligible to participate in the program.
How many students are eligible for the program?
For new eligible districts, a cap of 500 total students total from all nine districts combined will be eligible to participate in the
program in 2013-14. This increases to 1000 student in 2014-15.
What schools are eligible?
Any private school in Wisconsin that meets the requirements in statute is eligible to participate in the parental choice program.
Do students and schools have to participate in the program?
The parental choice program is a voluntary program. Eligible students and private schools have the option to participate in the
program, but they are not required to participate in the program.
What is the voucher amount?
Currently, the per-pupil voucher is $6,442 per-pupil or the cost to educate the student, whichever is less. According to the provision in the budget, the voucher would remain at $6,442 per pupil in 2013-14. The voucher would increase to $7,050 per pupil
for students in grades K4-8 in 2014-15 and $7,856 per pupil in grades 9-12.
What requirements must participating schools meet?
Schools must submit the intent to participate form to DPI, pay an annual audit fee, be accredited or pre-accredited, meet financial requirements, administer the state test, have annual enrollment and financial audits, and meet numerous other requirements
described in statute to participate in the program.
Can schools choose what students they want to accept?
Schools cannot pick and choose what students they want to accept. They may only consider income and residency when determining if a student is eligible for the program. If more students apply than there are seats available, a random lottery must be
held. Schools may give preference to siblings of accepted students, students that attend the private school in the previous year,
and students that attended another private school under the parental choice program. Schools cannot consider academic ability
in determining of student is eligible for the program.

Dear Parents,
Friedens Lutheran is excited about our fourth “Jr. Olympics” – a day of competition and fun!
Our Jr. Olympics will be held at Shoreland Lutheran High School on Wednesday, May 22nd (Rain Date:
Thursday, May 23rd).
The Jr. Olympics will provide the opportunity for all our school children, K-8, to participate in
activities that will promote school spirit, foster leadership, and encourage Christian sportsmanship.
Each child’s individual participation will contribute to their team’s overall score.
To ensure the success of this day, numerous volunteers will be needed to help with chaperoning, timing, measuring, recording, scoring, etc. None of these tasks require any special abilities, prior
experiences, or skills – just willing hands.
Once again, we believe that you will love being a part of this day. Please consider volunteering
for all or part of the day. On the reverse side of this sheet please mark your availability and return it
to your classroom teacher.
Thank You,
Your Friedens Jr. Olympic Committee
