Wisconsin — The Lakeland Church in Minoqua, Wis., is the smallest church in the Wisconsin Conference to support a church school, yet it has an abundance of “faculty” for the ten children who make up the student body.

The Lakeland school closed its 2003-2004 school year with a special program to honor everyone who worked so hard to make the school year a success. Honored were: Ronald Wood, principal; Nancy Wood, volunteer; Florence Beisker, volunteer; Jennifer Marquez, Spanish teacher; Angela Ronalds, music and choir teacher; and Sharon Kimball, Pathfinder leader.

Katie Rowe, a teacher at the Rhinelander School in nearby Rhinelander, Wis., was also honored for her dedication to the four children she taught during the 2003-2004 school year.

Nancy Wood, wife of Ronald Wood, was especially honored for the many years of faithful, unpaid service she has given to all the church schools where her husband has taught. She was presented with an oak curio cabinet from the church body and students.
