Seattle Lutheran High School

Homecoming

If you didn't know it already we know it, we have football at SLHS. Last year the team made it to state for the first time. They have started the season 3 an 1. Saturday, October 18 at 1:15 the Saints will kick off against Nassell for our annual Homecoming Game. Pull out your old letterman jacket and come down to West Seattle Stadium and cheer on your Saints.

30 Years of Confidence, Hope, Integrity and Passion

30 years ago the first Saints walked the halls of this school. On the night of November 10th we will be celebrating 30 steps that have brought SLHS to where it is today. Check out the web site to see the 30 steps. The event promises to be exciting. The Saints choir, bell choir, jazz band, drama group and art students will be performing and showing their work, but the highlight will be all those in attendance. Already committed to be there are Bob Christian, Bob Matthews, Shirley Vradenburgh, Bruce Carlson and Barb Koppe. Let me know if you are planning to come and I will add you to the list.

We had a group of young people, our cheerleaders, walk in the Northwest Hope & Healing 5K Alki Run/Walk. This group took the initiative and formed “Team Dart” to support one of our Alumni, Tracy Dart, after her breast cancer diagnosis in June. As Tracy put it “It is refreshing to see young people getting involved in their community and raising money for important causes…they represented Seattle Lutheran High School beautifully, with energy.”

It has come to be known as the Battle of Ben-Gay. Sunday, November 23rd Coach Jack Menashe (1999) will host the annual Saints Hoops Classic. Email back and let us know if you will be there. We are at the point where we a going to try and put together an old-timers game and a young and fast game, both guys and gals, but we need you all to participate. Last year we had alum straight out of Stockton, CA travel up for the game. Dust off your high tops and bring your A game.

While we are ramping up our new alumni network I would encourage everyone to join Facebook. (www.facebook.com) It is free and a great way to keep in touch with other alumni. Make sure that you sign up for the SLHS Alumni group.

Also, we are trying to get our database back up and running. It only works if we have good data, so tell everyone (alumni, alum parents) to drop me an email so that they can be kept up to date on the great things happening here. And, be sure to let us know when great things are happening in your life. We would love to pass it along to the rest of the Saints.
