As a member of the National Association for the Education of Young Children, this month our school celebrates “Week of the Young Child” on April 13-19.
What a melodious sound to hear little footsteps as they enter the sanctuary every Wednesday morning! At the beginning of this school year, we started a new form of worship experience with our children called “Worship and Wonder” which is held every Wednesday morning at 8:35 a.m. This program grew out of the desire of our staff to give even our youngest children a place where they can worship, praise, and learn about their Heavenly Father within a setting that has been specifically suited to their developmental needs. The worship experience builds on our weekly bible curriculum that the teachers use in their classrooms.
During this month, when our schools will be celebrating Lutheran Schools Week, please accept the gratitude of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America for your creative, faithful, joyful ministry of education.

Shuffling through a clump of doilies, conversations hearts, and miniature cards with such zest that I haphazardly ripped the construction paper pocket I had toiled over just days before, I finally found it… my first love letter.
