National Lutheran Schools Week

We had a great week celebrating Christ Lutheran School.  We had blue and gold day, black and white (dress like a cow) day, pajama day, and best of all - grandparents day.  We know that our school is a wonderful place where students and teachers have fun together, learn together, and worship our Savior together.
