WELCOME TO THE 6TH-8TH GRADE CLASSROOM!
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classroom. I am excited to share this new year with the young men and women of my class, reminding them each and every day, no matter the circumstance, that we need to "Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things." (Psalm 98:1)
I would like to share a little about me. I graduated from Martin Luther College in 1998. I received my first call as principal and teacher to serve Lincoln Heights Lutheran School in Des Moines, IA. In 2003, I accepted a call to serve as principal, teacher, and youth minister at St. John's Lutheran School in Pardeeville, WI, where I served for 14 years. I am now entering my fourth year at Trinity as principal and teacher, where I have truly been blessed!
Outside of teaching, I enjoy everything about the outdoors: fishing, hunting, hiking, four-wheeling, snowmobiling, you name it. And when you can't find me outdoors, you'll probably find me at home cheering on the Packers and the Brewers.
My family is very important to me. My wife of 21 years, MeLissa, is using her gifts and talents to serve the littlest of lambs (preschool) at Trinity. She is also organizing our Trinity Seedlings program, which will bring God's Word to the birth to age three youngsters and their parents. My oldest daughter, Faith, is junior at Concordia University where she is pursuing a career in elementary education. Emma is a sophomore at Wisconsin Lutheran College working toward a degree in communication. Brett will be a junior at Luther Preparatory School. The only one left at home is Brody, who is in 6th grade. Brody will be my last child to come through my classroom.
Now you may wonder why I have a picture of my family posted above. I can answer that! Just I love and care for my immediate family and cherish the adventures that we share, I will do the same with my family at Trinity, especially the 14 students and families that I am blessed to serve this year in my classroom, and the 50 students and their families that currently attend Trinity Lutheran School. If at any time you have questions, concerns, or just need someone to talk to, I will always be there for you!
I will be using this page to keep you all posted on the adventures that our class will be having throughout the year. I hope that this school year, by God's grace, is blessed beyond measure!

8th Grade Families - Mark your calendars...the week of May 2 is our trip to Philadelphia, D.C., and Gettysburg. I have had discussions with Pardeeville, and we are in! Thanks to all families for returning the paperwork so soon. It has been sent to Pardeeville and is now in their hands. Payment for the students will be taken care of. I will let you know when chaperone payments are due.
Our classroom is need of Clorox wipes for cleaning/sanitizing the classroom. If you are willing to donate them, just drop them off in the classroom. Thanks!
The students will begin their work for the Children's Christmas Service. We will work on their parts during school, but they will need to do the majority of their memorizing at home. Please refer to the note in the Tiger Tracks for how this year's service will be conducted.
I sent the following email out to all my classroom families this morning. If you wish to share it with a family member or a friend or a complete stranger, feel free!
Dear Parents and Friends,
To put it mildly, what an odd year we have had? Shut downs and quarantines. Executive orders and advisories. Social distancing and mask mandates. Protests and elections. The list goes on and on.
Frustrated? Worried? Annoyed? Anxious? Any one of a thousand other adjectives that would describe how you feel?
Jesus himself gives us some good advice. In Matthew 11:28, he tells us, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
I do honestly believe that the devil is using this time to distract us, to draw our attention away from the one and only Savior, who has in his control all things.
My encouragement to you all is to stay close to Jesus. Whether you worship in-person or online or listen to a service on the radio, stay close to Jesus. Family devotions have become more important than ever. Prayer has become more important than ever. The point is, as I mention to the students in our school, in the words of Kid's Connection, "Stay Connected to Jesus".
I hope this finds you all well. I am praying for you and your families. I hope to see you all soon!
Mr. Wieting
Have a blessed Thanksgiving break!
