Wyneken Memorial Lutheran School |
| In 1976, Principal Norb Schaekel hired Wyneken's first
and only kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Rae Fuhrmann. Those first years, the
kindergarten class was housed at Zion--Friedheim
as Wyneken awaited expansion (exactly the same scenario for our
pre-school a quarter century later!). Later at Wyneken, a preschool was
added, and it was also taught by Mrs. Fuhrmann. Some years she was
responsible for nearly 60 children every day, a mind-boggling figure in
this day-and-age of small class sizes. To the glory of God and in her honor, the Wyneken Board of Christian Education celebrated her ministry with a gathering of our community. A luncheon was held at Wyneken's gymnasium on Sunday, June 3rd, to celebrate her tremendous milestone. Amongst the gifts given her was a tree planted in her honor, just behind the school flag pole. Mr. Ken Germann and Mrs. Donna Schieferstein also were tree-recipients in 1996 in recognition of their 25th anniversaries at Wyneken. Enjoy the pictures from this gathering! |
