Exploring the Great Outdoors: Boundary Waters Trip

Posted by Dr. Steve Buuck on Nov 24, 2021 6:00:00 AM

Long before Jonathan Orr was Faith Lutheran’s Director of Innovation and Continuous Improvement, he was an outdoorsman.  Born and raised in northern Wisconsin, Jon spent his summers fishing, his falls hunting, and his winters cross country skiing.  A science teacher and athletic trainer by training, it is no wonder that he also teaches a biennial summer class called Boundary Waters Ecology.

In June 2021, Orr led his fifth class of Faith Lutheran students to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA) in northeast Minnesota, one of America's most beautiful and remote places.  Its vast wilderness extends 150 miles along the U.S.-Canada border, covering approximately 1,098,000 acres with over 1,100 lakes and 1,500 miles of canoe routes.  The class, whose only perquisite is Biology, provides a full year science credit and combines two weeks of classroom learning, an 11 day trip to Minnesota, and four summative projects upon return.

Support for the AAPI Community

Posted by Dr. Steve Buuck on Mar 25, 2021 9:00:00 AM
At Faith Lutheran we are a family and thus must not shy away from potentially sensitive issues that impact us.  Our school community would not be what it is today without our AAPI colleagues, students, teachers, parents, and friends.  We continue to commit to having hard conversations, listening, and loving each other as Christ modeled for us and instructed us.
