St. Louis Lutheran schools enjoyed their final day of 2016 National Lutheran Schools Week (Jan. 24-31).
Students celebrated the week with service projects, parties, special dress-up days, fun assemblies, and special person days. Several schools began the week by participating in Sunday worship services that highlighted the blessings of Lutheran education.
The theme of this year's week was "Life Together" based on 1 Corinthians 1:9 "God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord."
