MLHS Night at Sovereign Estates Festival of Lights

The Winery at Sovereign Estate invites you to light-up the season with our Spirit of Winter: Festival of Lights from November 18th – December 30th. The Estate is transformed into a majestic, illuminated winter wonderland, with over twenty miles of musical, synchronized lights strung over 20 acres of their lakeside vineyard.

Guests can stroll the grounds and enjoy a variety of attractions like our Candy Cane Lane, life size Nativity scene, photo opportunity at Santa’s Sleigh, real winter llamas, inflatable Snowman Social, children’s Snow Maze, kid’s Boot Hockey Arena, and Nana’s Gingerbread House! Once you arrive, guests also have the opportunity to purchase Holly Trolley rides for $5 per person in our Wine Store for a special guided tour of the decorated grounds. Trolley Tickets can only be purchased on property and is determined based on weather. Limited seating available.

Tickets are $10 and all proceeds from tickets sold by Mayer Lutheran for this event are kept by the school.  For more information or to purchase tickets, visit the event page.

Ben Schulteis is MN South District 2022 Outstanding High School Teacher

Congratulations to MLHS Physical Science Teacher Ben Schulteis, who was named the 2022 MN South District Outstanding High School Teacher!

Read on to hear what those who nominated him said about Mr. Schulteis:

“Mr. Ben Schulteis teaches Conceptual Physics, Everyday Chemistry, Earth and Space Science, Physical Science, Chemistry, and Advanced Placement Physics; although not all of them every year. He also chairs the science department and mentors our first life science teacher.

In addition, he coaches the throwers in track and is a co-advisor to our STEM club. He is an excellent science teacher. He explains difficult concepts in a manner that allows students to understand. When students need extra time with him, he makes himself available before and/or after school.

He makes sure to integrate Biblical truths into his science presentations to make sure the Creator is seen in the order and complexity of the world He created. He strives to engage students through demonstrations, experiments, and labs.

A student and I were talking about chapels and memorable chapel messages, this student immediately remarked that he really likes Mr. Schulteis’ chapels that show how scripture includes scientific truths. In my opinion this demonstrates Mr. Schulteis’ passion for science, the strength of his faith, and his desire for students to grow in their personal faith in Christ.

Mr. Schulteis has brought STEM concepts into his class room and to the Robotics Team. Mr. Schulteis is a blessing to our entire school community! He is a terrific example of what a Christian educator is and is deserving of the honor of High school teacher of the year.”

“Mr. Schulteis, is a teacher dedicated to his job as a teacher and robotics mentor. He is great at teaching seriously, while having fun labs in his various science classes. He is also great at showing, while not directly giving ideas when we, as students/robotics club members are struggling to complete a task given to us.”

Congratulations, Ben, and thank you for your service to Mayer Lutheran and to your students!

Advent Devotions 2022

The time of Advent once again brings not only anticipation as we look toward the celebration of Christmas, but also devotions written by Mayer Lutheran High School students. The cover of this year’s booklet displays a verse from Psalm 40: “You who bring good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who bring good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, ‘Here is your God!'”

A PDF copy of the devotional booklet is available by clicking here. Video recordings of each devotion, read by the authors, will be posted daily on the school’s Facebook page.

This year’s Advent Devotions are once again made possible through a generous contribution by Blake Hahn Financial Group.

Crusader Volleyball Team Finishes as State Class A Runner-Up

Congratulations to the Crusader girls volleyball team for their second place finish in Class A at the MN State Volleyball Tournament! The Crusaders lost a hard-fought match in five sets to the Minneota Vikings, the team they defeated last year to capture the state title. After falling in the first two sets, the Crusaders fought back to win sets three and four and force a set five.

What a great season for Coach Grimsley, Coach Gesch, and the team! To God all Praise and Glory!
