On April 13th, two middle school robotics teams competed in the SKILLS USA - NEBRASKA STATE LEADERSHIP AND SKILLS CONFERENCE. The two teams competed in the Urban Search and Rescue competition. Students are required to construct a robot that can open mailboxes and doors as well as retrieve an ordinance and deposit the ordinance all while being timed. Students only use a camera and verbal cues to drive the robot. The first place team consisted of 8th grader Robert Schmidt and 7th grader Autumn Veen. These two Warriors have qualified to represent Nebraska and Lincoln Lutheran at the national conference later this summer. The team of 8th grader Isaac Hoffman and 7th grader Mikaela Crable came in a very close second place. Both teams did very well and were complimented on their attention to detail. This is just the 2nd year of SKILLS USA at Lincoln Lutheran. A special thank you to Mr. Ryan Crable who volunteered this year and helped build our robotics course, assisted students with the mouse trap cars, and answered technical questions about robotics.
On Saturday, April 24. Lincoln Lutheran 7th graders Konnor Bunjer, Thomas Cosgrove, and Haven Fornshell, their families, and teacher Lyle Ziems and his wife Sheila participated in the Walk For Freedom Again march sponsored by the I’ve Got a Name organization. These young Warriors and their families are to be commended for voicing their concern for this cause through their participation in this event.
I’ve Got A Name became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in 2012. Since its inception, the organization has played a significant role in changing the lives of hundreds of Nebraska women and girls trapped in the sex trade. The objective of the Walk for Freedom Again march was to bring public attention to Nebraska’s Sex Trafficking problem and, specifically, here in the Lincoln area.
-The average age of a child entering the commercial sex trade is 13.
- A 2016 research study conducted by Creighton University revealed that more than 900 girls are sold for sex (often multiple times) in Nebraska every month & 200 just in the Lincoln area.
-1 out of every 250 high school and middle school students in Nebraska enter the commercial sex trade each year.

The Opportunity Scholarships Act (LB364) will soon be debated by the Nebraska Legislature, and Senators need to hear from you! LB364 increases scholarship opportunities for low-income families to attend the private school of their choice by enacting a tax credit for donations to nonprofit scholarship granting organizations. There are many families in your community and across the state who want the choice to send their kids to private or parochial school, but can’t because of financial obstacles. As Lutherans, we believe that parents have the right to choose a school for their children which corresponds to their own convictions and should have true liberty in their choice of schools. LB364 would give parents the freedom to choose faith-based education if they so desire. Take a moment to write to your senator and ask them to support LB364 by clicking here: https://www.votervoice.net/BroadcastLinks/SEz4X8aOCPX3BBiD-Ek9NA
When communicating with your elected officials, it’s best to share your personal beliefs and experiences in your own words. Many Senators insist that personal and unique messages are the most effective. Some talking points have been included in the link to help you compose a message.
