The three attributes leadership, scholarship, and service are at the heart of New Life Academy’s mission to “educate and energize students to impact their world for Jesus Christ,” and prepare them for life beyond these walls. They guide our efforts to provide a unique educational experience that not only exemplifies excellence but does so in the context of serving Jesus Christ and helping each student find his or her unique role in the body of Christ and in culture.

Our pursuit in this area is even more defined by our Portrait of a Graduate. We know ultimate transformation is a work of God’s Holy Spirit, but we desire to work with Him through this educational experience. The end goal is to provide opportunities for students to become authentic Christ followers, Spirit-driven

individuals, accomplished learners and mindful doers, positive change agents, wise leaders, and discerning followers.

The last two years, we have collected more feedback than any other time in New Life Academy’s history. Parent surveys, parent and student focus groups, faculty surveys, student surveys, and student achievement data have all been used to not only tell us how we are doing in regard to our missional objectives but to guide and shape our strategic planning moving forward. Your feedback has been invaluable and helps us provide an exceptional experience for you and your family.

I am overwhelmed by how blessed we have been by the achievements of our faculty and students. I hope you enjoy

learning more about these accomplishments throughout this year’s Annual Report and can share in the excitement of what God has been doing here and the potential of what is yet to come.

God bless!

Letter from Head of School Cade and his wife, Jen

Dear NLA Community,

Steve and his family

Letter from Chair of the Governing Council

3

Dear Families and Friends,

The primary responsibilities of the governing body of any organization are to make certain that there is a thoughtful plan in place that will successfully accomplish the organization’s mission and to ensure that its leaders are capable of executing that plan. Simply stated, the job of good governance is validation of strategy and leadership selection. Since its establishment in 2010, this has been the principal focus of the Governing Council’s attention.

I’m pleased to report that our long-range strategic plan, under the outstanding leadership of our Head of School and his team in combination with the support of our Trustees, faculty, staff and the NLA community, continues to produce outstanding results. Our strategic plan has been focused on transforming pockets of excellence into a uniformly exceptional educational experience built upon the foundation of Christian values and the Christian Worldview. For more information about the up and coming strategic plan, GROW 2020, please see page 5.

In closing, I want to thank our Trustees. They are an amazingly talented and dedicated group of leaders and stewards. We live in an anxious age of relativism and technology-fueled disruptive change, and we believe the key to character formation and human flourishing in their midst is to understand Truth and the enduring values that do not change. The cornerstone of democracy, human dignity and economic sustainability are Christian values and the Christian Worldview. For parents seeking to instill those values and equip those perspectives in their children, while also providing them with an exceptional educational experience, we stand ready. For families looking for an experience which not only develops young intellects but also their character, we want to partner with you.

Gratefully,

Steven C. Tourek | 2013-15 Chair of Governing Council Current Parent and Parent of Alumni

We prepare students for life.

The New Strategic Plan: GROW 2020

Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed. Proverbs 15:22

Overview of GROW 2020

Spiritual Development:

Grow every student in the knowledge and application of their faith through a variety of engagements and experiences to impact their world for Jesus Christ.

Teaching and Learning:

Grow every student in excess of one year academically and prepare him or her to fully engage God’s calling to impact his or her world through scholarship.

Financial and Operations:

Grow the school financially in a way that completes strategic financial objectives, fully supports student programming, and provides exceptional resources and facilities for all programs.

Advancement:

Grow and serve more students and their families, provide access for families that desire a Christian education, and equip each student with outstanding resources and tools needed for learning.

Seeds have been planted, and it is time to continue strategically growing our community and environment. New Life Academy’s mission is to educate and energize each student to impact their world for Jesus Christ and to reach their full

potential in scholarship, leadership, and service out of love for God and one another. By creating a plan that highlights and furthers the areas listed in that mission, we can better fulfill our vision to produce spirit-driven individuals, accomplished learners, wise leaders, and agents for positive change.

Throughout the 2013-14 school year, much of the SEED 2015 plan was accomplished through progress in academic excellence, spiritual development, and professional development. Our goal was to provide high-quality, holistic

education in an environment that transforms students’ lives for Christ, and those results have been exceedingly apparent over the last year.

Now as we look forward to the next year, we will finish SEED 2015 and continue on with GROW 2020, a new strategy that shepherds our endeavors.

We began with IMAGINE 2012, a three-year strategic initiative. After that, SEED 2015 was launched: a three-part plan that focused on providing high-quality, holistic education in an environment that transforms students’ lives for Christ. This year, we see the thriving application and completion of the last strategic plan, SEED 2015. Now, we present to you the new strategic plan, GROW 2020, created in order to steward the plans and achievements of the last three years and raise up students that will impact the world for Jesus Christ.

Professional Development

To better prepare your students for life, New Life Academy has Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) that meet bimonthly to learn, share ideas, and extend professional learning to ensure continuous growth for teachers, as well as for students.

The goals that were set and accomplished this year are as follows:

1. Purposeful and consistent Biblical integration Teachers took advantage of places in their curriculum, as well as spontaneous opportunities, to teach and have conversations with students about God and how He is working in the world.

2. Aligned and integrated standards in differentiated lessons and units Teachers unpacked standards and discussed vertical alignment so that all NLA students would have the opportunity to follow a trajectory of ever-increasing rigor and support.

3. Developed assessments and differentiated methods of delivery Working with their teams, teachers developed common instructional assessments and differentiated methods of instructional delivery

that measured student progress throughout the year.

4. Collect, use, and analyze data to design and evaluate effectiveness Using a variety of student data, teachers implemented differentiated lessons customized to match students’ readiness levels and enabled students to experience continuous learning.

5. Use technology to engage students and enhance instruction Teachers used technology to enhance their teaching and create lessons or projects that engaged students.

Biblical Integration

One of this year’s goals within NLA’s Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) was continued and expanded biblical integration in curriculum. Biblical Integration starts with a teacher’s vibrant, personal relationship with Jesus Christ and a complete dependence on Him to provide opportunities and wisdom for Biblical Integration. This personal relationship leads to a natural expression of God’s glory within each subject and creates organic teacher-student relationships.

AcademicsOur teachers aspire to nurture your students through the Word of God while they discover all that the Lord created them to be. Then, through a curriculum that engages their mind, body, and spirit, each child grows intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically while building a foundation based in a biblical worldview.

Spotlight on New Life Academy’s Outdoor Education ClassThe Outdoor Education class was a new offering this year. Whether hoping to acquire new capabilities or honing old ones, students learned how to respond to emergencies beyond the basic first aid course, were certified to perform CPR for adults, children, and infants, and gained practical applications for activities such as backpacking, camping, hiking, orienteering, and wilderness survival.

The goal for this new class is to encourage appreciation and passion for the outdoors in the lives of the students. “Twenty-eight students were able to experience camping, hiking, orienteering, rock-climbing, snowshoeing, and fishing—many for the first time!” says Elementary Principal, Brian Goodbar. “Watching them learn and work together to cook, clean, plan, explore, challenge themselves, learn new skills, learn leadership, team building, and Leave No Trace principles, as well as try new things was extremely rewarding for us as teachers. We cannot wait for the next groups to come through the program with us.” Students are taught according to the Leave No Trace principles in order to help maintain natural environments while enjoying outdoor activities.

Carole PetersonCarole Peterson has been a beloved part of the NLA community ever since she began teaching here 21 years ago. Carole immediately knew that this would be a different school than where she had previously taught.

“Being able to teach from a Christian perspective was re-freshing,” says Carole, who be-gan her time at NLA teaching junior high English and is now entering retirement after serv-

ing as the librarian. “There’s a feeling of community among the teachers and staff, and I always felt I had the support of the parents.”

Many of those parents were library volunteers who were so supportive and encouraging that Carole doesn’t think she could have kept the library running without them! More than parent volunteers, they became friends and served as yet another reminder that the community at NLA was different from anywhere else Carole taught.

As the librarian, Carole has been an integral part of that community. Though her many years at NLA were filled with good memories, Carole’s favorite part about teaching is getting kids excited about reading. She says, “When I saw a student have success in reading and go from a reluctant reader to an excited reader, I was thrilled.”

Though Carole will be sorely missed at NLA as she heads into retirement, she’ll still be seen around the school as the substitute coordinator and occasional substitute teacher. In the meantime, she plans to spend retirement enjoying more time with her husband and their four daughters.

Gina KortuemBefore she began teaching at NLA in 2010, Gina Kortuem had never heard of the school. Now, she describes coming here as a “God-blessed incident . . . It was so awesome to come to a school that knew its mission and really followed closely to God in order to achieve it.”

Currently, Gina teaches a total of seven English classes and serves as English department head. Her favorite part of teaching is working with a great group of students every day. She says, “The students at New Life are very driven

and want to make sure that what they are doing is relevant to their futures. They keep me on my toes!” Gina is especially proud when she sees her students share their true selves with the rest of the student body through submissions to the Creative Writing magazine and giving testimonies in chapel.

Not only does Gina prepare her students academically, she knows that she’s in a position to strengthen their walks with Christ, both in the classroom and outside of it.

“A lot of my personal connections with students take place when we’re not in class, but that is what makes them more meaningful,” she says.

Though the next school year will be busy, Gina is looking forward to it. Not only will Gina be investigating new ways to bring technology into the English department, she’s also expecting a baby in October and is serving as a leader on the 2015 Europe trip!

2013-14 Teachers of the YearTo honor its many outstanding and committed teachers, New Life Academy established The Eagle Award ten years ago. Annually, two individuals are selected by their fellow teachers

and are recognized by the NLA community for going above and beyond in educating and caring for their students. The 2014 awards go to Carole Peterson and Gina Kortuem.

Academic Awards (Continued)

For most baseball teams, the ultimate focus is being the best and winning a lot of games. While winning games is an exciting component, it is not what defines the New Life Academy baseball team.

Playing baseball for NLA has its perks. Other high schools in the district average 1,700 students in grades 9-12. New Life Academy averages 240 high school students. Since NLA is a smaller community, many boys get to experience playing varsity-level sports for a longer period of time. The boys on this team

have grown together, as they have been playing sports together at New Life Academy for a while.

There is more to this group of boys than meets the eye.

“A big component to how successful they were is how close knit they are,” said head coach Dave Darr. He gave one example of how two senior boys went to the home of a freshman player after he had a rough game, and took him out with them for the night. The bonding of this team is something that could not be

experienced on a public school squad.

“They genuinely cared for the well-being of their teammates,” coach Darr said. The caring nature of the team is not just something that the coach sees, but something the players sincerely act on.

When asked about what qualities stand out about this team, senior John Horner said, “We cared about each other personally, not just because we played baseball.” Horner

has played on multiple teams throughout his career, and said that he has never experienced this level of faith on another team.

“It’s not all about winning, but about playing to glorify God,” Horner said.

Parents also witnessed the unique qualities of this team.

“As a parent, what I see is more unity,” said Matt Leighton, father of sophomore player Tanner Leighton. Matt said that he loves using sports as a teaching platform for his son and providing him with life skills that he can incorporate off the field. Matt explained that his son gained more character and spiritual awareness from being a part of the team this year.

The one thing that stuck out to Matt about this team was their genuine and true humility. He said the way the boys handled the win and carried themselves after was a true indication of their character.

“They didn’t just become better baseball players this season, they became better people,” said coach Darr.

Athletics

Fine ArtsPerforming Arts

Whether it be singing in choir, singing in the auditioned group, Morningstar, or performing in a musical or theater production, New Life Academy values creative expression through performance and drama. Productions and concerts are always well-attended, and many of our graduates have gone on to practice theatre and music at the collegiate level.

MusicEach ensemble provides students with exciting opportunities to further their muscianship while developing key leadership skills and self-confidence through performance and teamwork. The curriculum first seeks basic participation and ultimately develops musicians that will share their talents beyond New Life Academy. Our students’ musical journey begins in Preschool where students develop an understanding of rhythm, melody, and song.

Visual ArtsFrom learning the fundamentals of art and exploring the principles of design, to experimenting with various materials, our visual arts program is designed to develop and enhance our students’ appreciation of art and their own artistic abilities - with award-winning results for many students. Student art work proudly graces the halls of our campuses.

Program Highlights• Students gain from the instruction and inspiration of highly trained and skilled faculty. • Curriculum is designed to encourage participation, awareness, and promote creative expression as it integrates with faith and learning.• Our goal is that our students will develop a lifelong appreciation for the arts and pursue excellence that empowers our students in the expressive language of the arts.

Spiritual DevelopmentTraining up each child to own and defend his or her faith is the driving force behind student life activities and academics. Woven throughout the student life experience is prayer, open expression of faith (and questions), comparisons in light of a secular and a Christian Worldview, character development and biblical instruction.

At New Life Academy, students and faculty are able to participate in events and chapel days that have the heart of NLA’s mission at their core: to educate and energize each student to impact their world for Jesus Christ.

Spiritual Emphasis Week took place in April this year, and students were able to hear from multiple speakers about a variety of topics including using the gifts God has given each person, the importance of a biblical foundation,

and many others. Students and teachers were able to take time to pray together, and they ended the week by gathering together in the gym to make around eighty tie blankets for Union Gospel Mission. The week allowed space for restored relationships between students and Christ, and many felt bonded after the experience.

During the National Day of Prayer in May, the New Life Academy community was able to come together with the specific goal of praying for their country, community, school, countries represented by NLA’s international students, and surrounding churches. Students, teachers, parents, New Life Church, and community members attended the event held in the Upper Room and gathered together to pray for these different areas.

“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:28

Spotlight on “Buy a Coffee, Buy a Well”Every Wednesday, high school students run a coffee shop to raise

money for communities who need fresh water. When the Living Water team arrived in the Kolakanatham Community, there were 300 families who were dependent on public taps provided by the local government, bi-weekly for only a few hours at a time, to support their growing water demands. Together with New Life Academy students, faculty, and families, “Buy a Coffee, Buy a Well” raised enough money to buy and build a well for the people of Kolakanatham, India!

Cultivating CreativityMax & Johnna (Lardani) Holmgren (‘06)

Eight years after graduating from New Life Academy, Johnna and Max Holmgren are still fostering relationships and talents that began in kindergarten for Johnna and 7th grade for Max.

The couple met during their 7th grade year at New Life Academy and caught each other’s attention at a new student picnic. After nurturing a friendship and soon a relationship in high school, they married in 2010 in Max’s parents’ backyard. Johnna said, “We have many fond memories of our early years together and most are formed around our time at New Life.”

The couple not only found love at NLA but also spiritual maturity. Johnna says, “New Life Academy and its teachers encouraged an attitude of believing a faith not because it’s what your family believes but truly trying to live it out for yourself.” She says the school encouraged her to experience God in all forms of nature, art, relationships, and community that resulted in the couple taking a step in faith to establishing their own businesses.

Both creative personalities, Max and Johnna followed after their fathers’ and grandpas’

entrepreneurial footsteps and started their own businesses to garner and cultivate their artistic passions. For almost six years, Johnna has been capturing life through the lens of a camera with her photography business, Johnna Holmgren Photography. Max, also in the creative industry, started Bear Fox Chalk, a chalk design company, two years ago.

Johnna explains, “We are both creatives, and the biggest thing we appreciated from New Life Academy was the way cer-tain teachers recognized that not all stu-dents learn the same. Not every brain is wired the same, and not every curriculum will be equally absorbed. We so valued that teachers took the time to teach us in ways that we needed. Specifically, we think back to our art experiences at NLA and appreciate the amount of passion and talent that Mrs. Bateman-Ek [New Life’s art teacher] provided.”

In addition to building their life together in Stillwater, Minnesota, Max and Johnna still maintain friendships they formed at New Life Academy. Johnna describes, “There were so many ways to be connected to others at NLA. We both played sports throughout junior high and high school, and those were definitely some of our fondest memories.” From playing sand volleyball and sharing dinners to simply connecting about life, the couple has a support system of NLA friends that goes back to their childhood.

Max and Johnna have a busy household consisting of their passionate two-year-old daughter, Luella Beane, Badger the dog, Zoe the kitten, and Mabel and Beatrice the chickens. With their home businesses, the couple treasures the fact that they can intentionally experience life together as a family each and every day.

You may direct your gift to an area of specific interest through the Annual Giving Family of Funds.

Area of Greatest NeedAnnual gifts provide vital support for operations, programs, and advancements that strengthen academy programs and infrastructure. Annual contributions to this fund provide vital unrestricted support to the area of greatest need.

Tuition Assistance FundAnnual gifts toward the Tuition Assistance Fund provide assistance to students whose families demonstrate need through an independent financial aid application process and who would otherwise likely not be able to attend New Life Academy. An annual gift to the Tuition Assistance Fund

is your avenue to helping your neighbor provide a Christian education for his or her kids too.

Spiritual Development FundSpiritual development for each student is at the very heart of the mission of the Academy. Guest speakers, special projects, outreach opportunities, student leadership development, and chapel offerings are yet another mission-appropriate way for you to financially support the Academy.

Faculty Development FundThe Academy strives to recruit and retain a diverse faculty who teach to the highest standards, are passionate about educating your kids, and are excellent Christian role models. Gifts to the Faculty Development Fund provide opportunities for professional growth and development, and help ensure

that all teachers receive the resources to be the best they can be.

Athletics FundGifts provide funding for the physical education and sports programs, along with equipment, uniforms, field fees, and travel for all athletic teams.

Fine Arts FundGifts support theater productions, visual artists, musical instruments, costume and set design, and community involvement.

Technology and Innovation FundAnnual Giving provides funding for teachers to facilitate student learning through innovative, challenging, and inspiring differentiated instruction using state-of-the-art technology, such as campus-wide smart boards and student computing devices.

Tuition assistance is more than an educational financial assistance program. For donors, it’s an investment in students’ lives and an opportunity to play a vital part in impacting their spiritual, academic, and personal development. Each small and large gift helps to give students close-knit relationships that will continue to grow and thrive even after graduation.

Tuition Assistance helps students understand who they are as children

of God and cultivate their unique talents in and outside the classroom.

For NLA students, it’s an open door that allows them to attend an academic institution that models faith in its faculty, mission, curriculum, and extracurricular activities and to have a biblical worldview intertwined with daily academic lessons.

It offers parents the chance to see their children thrive in a positive, yet challenging program in a safe and healthy environment. Grandparents can relax in the contentment that their grandchild is being satisfactorily prepared for life. For siblings,

it provides an opportunity to attend school with their best friends and experience different kinds of relationships. For the kingdom of heaven, the tuition assistance program gives an upcoming generation of young adults an opportunity to impact their world for God and to reach their full potential in scholarship, leadership, and service out of love for each other, their community, and their nation.

Tuition Assistance helps students understand who they are as children of God and cultivate their unique talents in and outside the classroom. It gives them the strong, fundamental foundation of truth which ultimately produces Godly leaders with integrity, wisdom, and character ready to engage culture.

Getting Involved: Parents, Alumni, Parents of Alumni, and Grandparents

Giving the Glory to GodA Profile on GivingColleen and Alan Stauber believe in a lifestyle of giving and exemplifying it to their community, including their son, Joe, a 10th grader at New Life Academy.

Colleen says, “We know that giving is an expression of our trust in God and His provision for us. We give where we’re led by the Holy Spirit to causes and organizations that we believe have an eternal impact.”

The Staubers have always been advocates for Christian education, yet when they sent their son to New Life Academy for kindergarten, their passion grew. Colleen says, “Christian education models faith and gives children an opportunity to know Jesus and form a personal biblical worldview, so they can understand that God is the first and the last.”

The Staubers are passionate about financially supporting the school because of the dual position it holds as an academic institution and a ministry to the community.

“New Life Academy is also a ministry to the community with students from multiple cities and churches, as well as ministering to children that don’t come from Christian families,” says Colleen. “Giving to NLA is important to us so that the school can do the best job possible in educating and modeling faith in God.”

The Staubers believe that each student at New Life Academy can make a difference if they are given the support, encouragement, and spiritual knowledge. Colleen says, “If every student develops a relationship with God and becomes a Christ follower, the ripples of impact will go out to the world and continue to transform lives from the inside (heart) out.”

The Stauber’s giving attitude is evident in their personal and spiritual life and extended out to their son when he personally gave to the Building Fund. Colleen encourages others to give because, “giving to NLA has an impact beyond your own life and community for Jesus.”

In addition to giving to New Life Church, Colleen and Alan have given to the New Life Academy Building Campaign and through Alan’s Company Match. They also played a part in adding NLA as a supported organization through Thrivent Choice.

After years of seeing her son thrive in a Christian school, Colleen is an ambassador for Christian education and supporting it in any way she can. She says, “Christian education develops character and values in our children and is training future leaders in every walk of life. Children should graduate knowing they are loved regardless of performance, are created for a unique purpose, and that their lives and choices have eternal impact.”

This year’s Auction, held on the first Saturday in April of 2014, broke the school’s historical record of dollar amount raised! A sold-out auction of 430 attendees raised over $206,800 for Academy students, which is more than $20,000 over the previous year.

This year’s theme was patriotic, dubbed the Red, White & You Celebration and Auction. Guests came decked out in their favorite red, white, and blue attire, and they used iPod bidding devices to bid on over 300 Silent Auction items and 15 different Sign Me Up parties before heading to Curt Wetsel Court for dinner.

During the Live Auction, guests generously and briskly bid upon many items including trips to Hawaii, Maui and the Dominican Republic, a Joe Mauer bat, a set of braces, and an opportunity to be the Principal for the Day.

A huge thank you to the 23 sponsors, 70 parent volunteers, and 60 student volunteers that made this year’s Auction a hit! In all, over $206,800 was raised for Tuition Assistance, teaching technology, and Academy programming.

The NLA Golf Classic, an annual fundraising event for New Life Academy, promotes community among NLA families and supporters while raising necessary funds to further the mission of the Academy.

The primary reason we host the NLA Golf Classic is to raise funds to support Tuition Assistance. Thanks to your efforts, the 2013 Golf Classic raised more than $28,000! Everything we do is centered on educating and energizing each student to impact their world for Jesus Christ and to reach their full potential in scholarship, leadership, and service out of love for God and one another.

This year, golfers enjoyed some fantastic fall golfing weather. Our turn out was higher than the last four years with 107 golfers, and the event raised more money than years before for Tuition Assistance. We consider it a great honor to have golfers and volunteers partner with us as we invest in the lives of these wonderful kids.

Congratulations to our 1st Place Flight A foursome: Luke Allen, Joe Kane, Ryan Lewis, and Bill O’Hearn. And to our 1st Place Flight B foursome: Don Brocker, John Horner, John Norring, and Tom Pfotenhauer.

A Letter From the President

Dear New Life Family,

Did you know that being a part of the New Life Community means that you are a member of our school’s Parent School Partnership (PSP)? Our PSP goal is to support NLA and its mission by fostering input, communication, and encouragement among faculty, staff, administration, parents, and students in all aspects of educational and spiritual development. It is our hope that each of you will take the opportunity to get involved and give of your time and talents in one of dozens of areas where volunteers are needed.

We have found that by giving even a few hours a year you will not only be richly blessed, but you can demonstrate to your kids firsthand what it means to give of yourself to help others. What better place than at your child’s school? There are numerous opportunities all throughout the school year…day or night, at NLA or from home.

It is so neat to see parents volunteer at an event and comment on what a wonderful time they have had and see them begin to make personal connections with teachers, students and other parents. This season in our children’s lives goes so quickly—we hope you take the time to embrace it and all New Life Academy has to offer!

Don’t hesitate to contact me at dmschumcher@msn.com if you have any questions on how you can jump in and become part of the New Life Academy family through volunteering!

Blessings,

Michelle Schumacher PSP President

2014 Volunteer of the Year Award: Russ StoeckelRuss Stoeckel and his family have been a part of the New Life community for 5 years. Russ has spent countless hours as a parent volunteer with the Minds in Motion program. Minds in Motion is a series of activities that stimulate the brain to help children focus on tasks, and give them the ability to sit still longer. Russ says that he is passionate about this program because he is helping children to get the wiggles out, which in turn helps them learn better. Being a part of New Life means a lot to the Stoeckel family. “The education is high quality and the foundation of the school benefits our children,” Russ said.

2014 Patti Wiens Award: Keith FreeburgThe Patti Wiens Award is given to a leader in the school and, “given in recognition for leadership that exemplifies vision, service, and commitment to the mission of developing students who will influence generations for Jesus Christ.” Keith Freeburg, former chair of the Governing Council is the recipient for this year’s award.
