Stories of Children’s Lives Changed
LSEM makes sure that each of our students receives the individualized services they need. Oftentimes, this means that our kids are using different services at varying levels at the same time in a single space. This can make for a rather loud and hectic resource room when we have several students working at the same […]
Something that surprised us here at LSEM was that despite COVID concerns and uncertainty in schools, we saw still saw a rise in our program services. This year we are helping more students in more schools. What a blessing! God is certainly here and working to care for His children. Our teacher Alice Sweet gave […]
The school year is well underway and we have some wonderful stories of successes to share with you. LSEM programs naturally look different as we tailor teaching and resources to each school and student’s needs, but this year has seen even more variations in teaching come about. The goal, however, remains the same — to […]
We are already into September, and that means the end of Summer, the beginning of school, and the transition into a new season. Summer of 2020 has been a busy one, that’s for certain. LSEM moved our national office to Ann Arbor, MI. We hired over a dozen new teachers for the 2020-2021 school year. […]
It feels a bit strange that we are already approaching Fall. Didn’t Summer just start?! Time always goes by fast for LSEM during this season. We done a lot over the past weeks. We moved our national office to a new city – Ann Arbor! We have hired 14 new teachers with a few more […]

The pandemic we are still living through has certainly caused us all a lot of stress. Our lives have been going through some major upheavals. We are worried about the health and safety of our families, friends, and communities. Watch this video to hear how our LSEM teachers have relied on God and their faith […]
As part of our Summer Shorts series we are sharing with you some insights into how LSEM functions during the summer months. I sat down (through email) with our President/CEO, Stacy Hoeft, to ask her a few questions that shed light on summertime ministry operations. Caitlin: Summer is here, and most folks would think […]
It’s now mid July, which means that those of us here in Michigan at the LSEM national office have been working from home for 4 months now. Wild. Kind of blows your mind, right? Hi there! I’m Caitlin McCallum and I am the Donor Relations Specialist for LSEM. Today I’m sharing what my “home office” […]
Yesterday was a big BIG day for LSEM. We moved our national office! Our time in Farmington Hills, MI was good for us, but as we look to make sure that LSEM continues to serve children with learning needs in years to come, a move was needed. The LSEM National Office is now located in […]
