produces the most (by weight/volume) castings with the best texture.
The winning team will earn some type of prize whether it be food, a
field trip, or extra credit.
LHNE has been awarded a $1,200 “Living to Serve” grant through
the National FFA Organization. This grant was used to purchase
6 Vermicompost farms that will help us to break down waste and
harvest organic fertilizer. We will then collect these worm castings
and donate them to the Norfolk Community Garden located at the
corner of 4th & Philip near downtown Norfolk. Later this Spring, these

current students to solicit their
opinion. I find it true that parents
will share the most open and
honest experiences, and see
first-hand the benefit of Christian
education. In my discussions, I
have received a great variety of
questions from parents regarding
athletics, academics, dual credit,
technology, and yes, even dress
code and lunches. But eventually,
the topic of tuition always comes
up.
Just as with all educational
systems, there is a cost to operate,
and ours is funded through
association congregations, donors,
and tuition. I fear that many
families do not even put themselves
on our radar because they
have resigned to the cost being
prohibitive. The truth is that we
have a substantial amount of tuition
aid and donors to make Christian
education affordable for everyone.
But we need to know who they are!
Here’s a promise you can share if
you find yourself talking to a family
who thinks LHNE is out of reach –
We can make it affordable!
