Drinking- Not My Child

2. Evaluate.
Step back and evaluate the atmosphere in your home. Attitudes make the difference. So look at the attitudes in your family. Is trust somehow tied to jumping through hoops? Do the members of your family respect and accept one another? Do personal relationships reflect the love of the Savior? Children who believe that love has strings attached to it will look for it elsewhere. When they are vulnerable, they can be led to believe that they will find love among people who abuse alcohol and other drugs.

3. Consider the example you set.
Examine yourself. Children learn quickly from the people around them. Do your family activities always include drinking? Do you tolerate people who drink too much or even joke about them? Do you find yourself frequently having a drink just to unwind? Is taking an aspirin or other pain medication the first remedy you turn to when faced with everyday aches and pains?

GradeKeeper
GradeKeeper is the teachers’ online grade book and is available for students in gr. 3-8. Please check your student’s progress regularly. Login IDs are available from your child’s teacher.

Mission Project
The mission project for the second semester of this school year is the WELS mission effort to support Christian schools in the Apache Land of Arizona. The money will be used to support our missionaries and teachers spreading the Gospel in the Lutheran schools at East Fork. Please set aside an offering for your child to bring. This offering is collected during our weekly chapel services.
