Extracurriculars

Resurrection Lutheran School (RLS) offers a complete athletics program consisting of soccer, cross country, volleyball, basketball, girls cheerleading and softball. Our athletics program focuses on developing Christian character and training student-athletes. Our teams compete in the Southeast Minnesota Lutheran Athletic Conference (SEMLAC). Our teams are coached by teachers, volunteer parents and friends of RLS. Exhibiting Christian sportsmanship is a high priority. Student-athletes and coaches are encouraged to witness their faith with their words and actions.

FACE is our parent-teacher organization. FACE members meet monthly to plan gatherings and special events for students, faculty, and families that promote Christian fellowship and community involvement.

Every teacher, parent, and student is part of the FACE organization. Opinions and participation are always welcome. To join, attend an upcoming FACE meeting or contact the school office.

What is “Scrip”?
Scrip is “substitute money.” By purchasing scrip, you are purchasing negotiable prepaid gift cards or gift certificates that are used like cash to purchase expenses such as food, clothing, and other essentials at the retail business which issued the gift card.

Generating Revenue for our School
Our organization buys scrip gift cards from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount and then resells those cards at full face value to families like yours.  GLSC acts on behalf of churches, schools and non-profit organizations to purchase large amounts of scrip (gift cards) from grocery and department stores and retailers.  The cards are purchased with cash up-front, so the participating retailers offer a substantial discount.

With every scrip purchase made from our scrip program, you earn revenue for our school which we share with our school families.  Half of the discount, which ranges from 2-18%, becomes school revenue; the other half is applied toward school families’ tuition reduction.

Scrip On-Hand
Scrip from the following retailers is available for purchase during the week in the school office or on Sundays between services. More retailers are available to order on-line (see info above).
