The Lutheran Elementary School Association (LESA) proudly celebrated its 20th anniversary on November 4, marking two decades of commitment to supporting Lutheran education in St. Louis.

This milestone event brought together community members, educators, and supporters to reflect on the significant impact LESA has made in the lives of students and families. Over the years, LESA has awarded $8.2 million in scholarships, ensuring that quality education remains accessible for all.
