Why Not?
Scott and Brenda Shane are parents to Bennett, a junior, and Sarah, a freshman, at Martin Luther. Scott works for Schwan’s Foods. Brenda teaches 7th & 8th grades at St Paul Lutheran, Fairmont, and serves on the Board of Directors for Martin Luther High School. Bennett is involved in Drama and Choir and serves as Vice-President of the Junior Class. Sarah plays volleyball, basketball, serves on yearbook and is President of the Freshmen Class.
“When asked why we choose to send our kids to Martin Luther, our answer, simply put, is also a question….why not?” says Brenda.
“In a world so entangled in sin, and in a society that seemingly accepts more and more sinful behavior as a social norm, we choose to send our children to MLHS where Jesus is proclaimed throughout each class and where faculty and staff help our kids to discern between right and wrong. Teenagers don’t always like to heed the advice of their parents, therefore we are so grateful that at MLHS, teachers are also teaching students how to witness and to defend their faith in today’s society, thereby reinforcing what we as parents are trying to teach at home.
At Martin Luther, our kids are in small classes where they receive the attention they both need and desire. Accommodations are made for individual students based on need, and students are challenged by college prep courses both on-campus and online. We have personally felt that our kids’ teachers truly value their unique gifts and talents, and encourage them to actively use those gifts and talents to glorify the Lord in their school, church, and community.
The financial cost of education at Martin Luther is high, but the eternal rewards of rooting our children in faith and surrounding them in the fellowship of believers to strengthen the means by which they may defend that faith in our corrupted world...those rewards are priceless.”
