LaJune Wolter was recently recognized for fifty years of service in the teaching ministry by the Iowa District East Schools’ Committee. LaJune attended Concordia High School and College in Seward, Nebraska. She received her first call to St. John’s in Homestead, Iowa in 1954 teaching grades 1-4. Later she accepted a call to Trinity in Conroy, Iowa where she taught grades 5-8 and later grades 1-3. When Lutheran Interparish School began in 1967, she became the first grade teacher and remained so until her retirement in 2007.
LaJune loved to teach God’s children! She especially loved teaching Religion and Reading. She enjoyed using literature to teach other subjects like History. LaJune’s love for her Savior motivated her to spend 10 years teaching mid-week classes at her church, and also teaching Sunday school and VBS. She also led the K-4 choir at one of the association churches for 30 years.
In addition to her church family, God has used LaJune’s gifts in the community as well. LaJune belongs to numerous organizations such as: The Cedar Rapids Reading Council, Lutheran Education Association, Women’s Organization Delta Kappa Gamma, VFW and the Homestead Welfare Club.
The IDE School’s Committee would like to thank LaJune for her many years of dedicated service.
