Lutheran Schools Week
Lutheran Schools This week we celebrate our Lutheran School. This is national ELCA Lutheran Schools Week and the theme is "Our Children - A Future With Hope."
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.

H is for High Achievement: ELCA schools and centers nurture and
educate the whole child within a values-based setting, and prepare
youngsters for success in life.
O is for Outstanding: That's the word most parents use when asked to describe the early childhood, elementary or secondary school their child attends when it's an ELCA school or center.
P is for Private: Private, faith-based programs, like our ELCA schools and centers, are one of the best ways to share the love of God with children and their families. Often the children lead the way!
E is for Excellence: ELCA schools are known for the high standards they set. They engage students and spark the desire to learn.Teachers expect excellence from students, and students tend to live up to those expectations.
