End of October Update
Due to a severe form of irreversible vision loss, our School Principal has announced that this will be his last year at St. John Lutheran School. We have been so blessed with Mr. Jay Lindsey’s leadership and care for our faculty and students. He is a passionate educator, a role model of servant leadership, and an example of our Christian faith. We give thanks for his 30+ years of service to the Lord’s Church and as an educator in Lutheran Schools. We pray God’s blessings upon him, his family, and our church and school ministry during this transition. Our Board of Directors is creating a transition plan and a path forward. We will continue to teach our community the love of Jesus and how to be Christian leaders in our midst. In all we do, we seek to live out our school motto: Learning for Life + Living for Christ.
