Developing Student Leaders
They grow up so fast, don't they? "My seven-year-old taught me how to download music." "My fifth grader wants a tattoo." But how about this perspective? "My college grad wants me to call his boss." "My 30-year old won't move out of the house."

Dr. Tim Elmore, a nationally recognized author, speaker and parenting expert, will visit Immanuel Lutheran School in Washington, Missouri, Sept. 18-19, 2014, to talk to parents and educators about helping children become "authentic leaders."
Dr. Elmore will speak primarily to parents, Thursday evening, September 18, 2014 at 7:00 p.m., on the topic of "Artificial Maturity," and primarily to teachers and educators, Friday, September 19th, from 9 a.m.-noon, on "Growing Student Leaders." The presentations, which are free and open to the public, will take place at Immanuel Lutheran School, 214 West 5th Street, Washington, MO 63090. Registration links for both free events can be found at www.lesastl.org.
