As we reflect on 2025, I am profoundly grateful for the dedicated community that comprises the Lutheran Elementary School Association (LESA). Each visit to our Lutheran schools reaffirms the joy found in our classrooms, where students grow in both knowledge and faith. Thanks to the generous support of our donors, partners, and volunteers, we are honored to continue this vital ministry, grounded in God’s blessings, ensuring that every child in the St. Louis region has access to an excellent, innovative, transformative Lutheran education.
Last year, we granted over $570,000 in scholarships to 673 students across 28 schools, demonstrating our commitment to equipping families for a Christ-centered education. I invite you to visit our website at [lesastl.org/latest-news] to see how we are moving forward together, always keeping our eyes on Jesus as we navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Looking to the future, we remain focused on strategic growth and academic excellence. As we promote Lutheran education as the best choice, let us foster a community of faith and service. Thank you for being part of this transformative journey.
