Central Lutheran School’s “Building in Faith” groundbreaking ceremony took place on Wednesday, April 2nd following morning chapel services in Newhall. Students, staff, area pastors, committee members, and members from the community were in attendance. Construction will begin soon after all bids have been approved. Art Rinderknecht, of Atkins, will be the superintendent heading this project. Art has been in the construction business for over thirty years. Building Committee co-chairs, Drew Retz and Brian Wells, both of Atkins, have also been key leaders in this project.
Many volunteers and committee members have joined together to help keep the projected costs to a minimum. During National Lutheran Schools Week, students of CLS participated in a “Penny Wars” fundraiser to help earn money for the furnishing of the new media center and music room. Students were able to earn over $6,000. There have also been a number of generous donations towards this project.
This is a very exciting time at Central Lutheran School. Student enrollment is on the rise and this much-needed space is truly going to be a blessing and will encourage more families to consider Central for a quality Christian education.
