Fully Rely On God

      F.R.O.G.

Are you able to remain on task 24 hours/day, 7 days/week?  We’re human – we get distracted, tired, we forget, our minds wander.  Jesus, gives His undivided attention to us 24/7!!  It’s comforting to know He is always with our children at WLS! No distractions or forgetfulness; never tired! They are precious to Him! 

        That’s how we can Fully Rely On God!

DID YOU KNOW –   Woodburn Lutheran School students have shown an excellent academic achievement at Woodlan High School.  Less than 10% of the students at Woodlan are WLS graduates, yet they make up 30% of the past Valedictorians and Salutatorians at Woodlan High School since 1986. Plus, 5 of the top 10 students in the graduating class of 2009 at Woodlan also graduated from WLS!

(Watch for more wonderful bits of information about WLS for you to share with neighbors and friends.)
