I can’t believe June is already here! Development wanted to give you a quick update regarding our campus activities. We are sad to say that we lost a set of houseparents, Kim & Fred Lucas. The Lucases felt their time here was over and they wanted to experience different opportunities in Texas. We were blessed […]
Gerald and Phyllis Frump are asking a favor. Since they were unable to have a service or funeral of any kind after Beth’s passing, the Frumps would like you all to do something special. Beth did not like funerals at all, but she did love celebrating her birthday. Gerald and Phyllis would like all of […]
Wow! March came and went so fast due to the Development Team working on the Phone Campaign. We knew this year would be difficult for our churches to be able to find enough volunteers willing to venture out to make phone calls, but they managed and they did an excellent job. Development would like to […]
Well, we finally got some snow, and since the residents haven’t been able to go in to town much, it was fun for them to get outside and just play. Housedad, Don Jones, and 2 of the residents in that Home decided to build a snowman (who is clearly an advocate for Shults-Lewis judging […]
HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2021 IS FINALLY HERE!! The staff and kids had a good time over the holidays.

AAAAAND THEY’RE OFF!! The fall semester is in full swing and the kids are doing VERY well. Home seven’s housemom, Kim Lucas, is one of those crafty, fun people who sees something on Pinterest and can recreate it. Kim had fun with the kids on the first day of school taking pictures to help the […]
“Let them eat cake!” Well, in this instance, it was pie. Mmm, mmm, good! Our residents have been working all summer in their cooking class making all sorts of good food. Our school staff has been teaching the kids the “ins and outs” of how to cook. Every so often, the rest of the staff […]
COVID-19 – A word we are all tired of hearing. It has invaded our lives and intruded on everything we do. As the world tries to find its “new normal”, the staff at Shults-Lewis would like to send out a HUGE thank you. We thank all of the people who have been on the frontlines […]
February. Of course we are going to talk about Valentine’s Day! Did you get the opportunity to do anything amazing for the Hallmark holiday? Glenn & Angela Robertson hosted a Valentine’s dinner for the staff and kids. We had an awesome Italian dinner and played Valentine’s Scategories. I must admit there were some very creative […]
