Lutheran Schools Week
|
This week we celebrate our Lutheran School. This is national ELCA Lutheran Schools Week and the theme is "I love to tell the story."
The purpose of Lutheran schools is to educate students within the framework of the Gospel. Our students are fortunate to learn many ways to "tell their story" using the story of salvation as the most important topic. There are many ways to do this: speaking, writing, as a poem, a drama, singing and dancing.
Let's celebrate! This week's fun activities:
Tuesday
Dress as a twin, triplet, etc. along with your friends or siblings. Wednesday
Bring your favorite small stuffed animal.
Thursday
Wear your spirit clothes with crazy socks and a crazy hat.
Friday
Wear your favorite sports team jersey.
