National Lutheran Schools Week
During the week of January 27-31, our school is joining with other Lutheran Schools throughout the US in celebrating National Lutheran Schools Week.
The theme for the 2024–2025
school year celebration is “Endure,” inspired by John 15:5: "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted."
Throughout National Lutheran Schools Week, Lutheran schools organize various activities and events such as chapel services, prayer gatherings, community service projects and special programs that highlight the theme of being connected to God and to each other. These celebrations provide an opportunity for Lutheran schools to come together and celebrate our Lutheran mission and values, which guide our Lutheran schools as they serve students and families.
