We are in our countdown to the end of the 2022-2023 school year! It is a particularly bittersweet time for our 8th grade students as they prepare to graduate. To help celebrate and recognize our ILS Class of 2023, we have again launched our “Meet Us Monday” blog series to introduce you to the members of this year’s graduating class.

Each week, we will share interviews with each of our 8th grade students, in which they share more about their favorite ILS memories and traditions, words of wisdom they’ve received over the years, and other reflections from their years here with us at ILS. We hope that you will enjoy these reflections, and join with us in congratulating and celebrating these students!

Meet Us Monday: Lily, ILS Class of 2023

1. How long have you attended ILS?

“I’ve been here two years, since 7th grade.”

2. What house are you in and was your favorite House competition?

“I’m in Ambrose. I think my favorite have been all of the Lutheran Schools Week Competitions - really all of it. They helped our House with team bonding, and it was all a lot of fun.”

3. What is your favorite ILS memory? (Or, which ILS tradition will you remember the most?)

“I guess my favorite memories are from Science Camp. Especially canoeing. It was all great. ”

4. What will you miss the most about ILS?

“I think I will really miss the teachers and how much they care about you. I don’t think high school will have that.”

5. How has a teacher impacted your life personally in a way you will never forget?

“I think Miss C. Davis- she has especially helped me with public speaking, I used to really hate it- I still do a bit- but it is less scary now. She’s made me more confident.”

6. Do you have a favorite Hymn of the Year or Verse for Memorizing?

““Jesus, Priceless Treasure”

”The Law of God is Good and Wise” - we memorized it and I don’t think I will ever forget it.
