Local Lutheran Schools Enjoying New Year

Lutheran school students in St. Charles County are off to a great start for the 2012-2013 school year.

Students at Messiah Lutheran-Weldon Spring began the fall semester on a sweet note -- Pastors Paul Schult and Chuck Schlie wore “Cookie Monster” t-shirts and handed out cookies to students on their way into school.

The first assignment of the year at Zion Lutheran-St. Charles included a giant "family" photo. More than 150 students and staff wore their new school t-shirts and smiled big for the camera.

At Child of God Lutheran-St. Peters, kindergarteners are settling into new routines and activities. They recently finished one of their first big art assignments -- self-portraits.  

Students at Trinity Lutheran-St. Charles, Immanuel Lutheran-St. Charles, Immanuel Lutheran-Wentzville, and Lutheran High-St. Charles are also happy to be back in school.    

The schools are members of the St. Louis-based Lutheran Elementary School Association (LESA). For more information on Lutheran schools in the St. Louis Metro area and St. Charles, visit www.metrolutheranschools.org.
