Martin Luther Lutheran School New Year

We are getting close to beginning the new school year for our Education Ministry of the Martin Luther Lutheran School.  Together we are sharing God’s love, announcing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and serving families of young children.  This ministry continues to be a blessing to the many children and their families who receive this service.

We especially encourage you to tell others about the Martin Luther Lutheran School.  Here is a link to the main page about our school on this web site:

Daycare Christmas Program

MLLS Christmas 2014 group

 

The students of our Daycare Ministry – Martin Luther Lutheran School (MLLS) – presented their annual program recently.  On Friday evening, December 5, the older students in this ministry presented songs and poetry which proclaimed the good news that Jesus Christ is born.  Parents, grandparents, siblings, relatives and friends of students, staff and school board members gathered to enjoy this special presentation.

The students practiced for weeks to get ready.  They did a great job, as always.

We are thankful for the ministry of church musician Nancy Eilers who accompanied the singing.

Celebrating the New School Year

The Early Childhood Education ministry MLLC is the Martin Luther Lutheran School (MLLS).  On Tuesday, September 2, 2014 our new school year began.  With songs and prayer we ushered in the new year.  We gathered in the Fellowship Hall, which is just at the end of the Christian Education/MLLS wing of our building.  Our pastor led the students, teachers and parents in prayer.

All MLLS students and staff, along with some parents, were on hand to pray in and sing in the new school year.

We are always welcoming of new students.  Click this link to find out more.  Or call our school office at: 979-278-3380, and speak to our school director, Kelli Meinholdt.

Here are some photos taken at the special time of prayer and song.

Next week, on September 2, the new school year begins for Martin Luther Lutheran School (MLLS).  We are excited about this new year and all that comes with it. With this new year MLLS has updated the web links on this web site regarding the school, tuition and fees, parent handbook, as well as the menus for snacks and lunch in September.

Note that things look much the same, but there are various items which needed to be changed based on School Board decisions, state law, etc.

Here is the link to the main page for MLLS.  Click this link.

Teacher Appreciation Breakfast 2014

Every August we host our Teacher Appreciation Breakfast.  This is a special gift to the local schools:  Round Top-Carmine Elementary, Round Top-Carmine Junior/Senior High School and our own Martin Luther Lutheran School.

The purpose of this event is to show the staff of these three schools that they are cared for and supported as they teach the children of this community.  All staff members are included in this invitation, including aids, teachers, custodians, maintenance, food service, administrators and others.

A group of friendly volunteers work together to prepare a tasty breakfast of fruit, rolls, egg casseroles, juice and other items.  Additionally, Carmine State Bank provides a gift bag for all the staff who attended.

As you go through your weeks ahead remember to keep our children, and those who teach them, in your prayers.

Thank you to the volunteers who put this special event together for our local teachers and staff.
