Dear First Lutheran Family,
The start of the school year is filled with activities. It’s such a joy to see all the smiling faces each and every morning. As I always say, “We are so glad you are here!” It was especially heart-warming to see the students dressed up for picture day. If you missed picture day, or require retakes, we have scheduled October 22nd as the day to do so.
Wednesday was a special day as we remembered 9/11. After chapel, the entire school met at the flagpole to pray, say our pledges, and sing the national anthem. Each student was given an American flag to wave during the ceremony. It’s always encouraging when we bring the whole school community together. Thank you to the parents that participated.
I am so proud of all the new teachers who have done such an amazing job of adjusting to their new roles. There are so many great things happening in every classroom. I love to make my rounds every day to check in on the classes, and I am so impressed by this group of students. They are working hard and learning a lot.
As I continue to work on promoting our school, again I am asking for your help. If you are able to share a testimonial about your experiences at First Lutheran, please reach out to me or Chris. We would love to get your words out to the local community. I am convinced that there are many families that want what we offer. You truly can make a difference in the lives of others by sharing your experiences with our school. We are currently working diligently to update the website, and maybe even the school logo. Your testimonial would go a long way to helping us reach our goals.
I am grateful for your support and trust.
Sincerely,
Mr. Stone
Principal
First Lutheran School
