Testimonials from SJLS Parents and Students
"I am a 1952, salutatorian graduate. Three classrooms in the original building. I was blessed to study God's words along with a solid foundation of secular subjects. Because of my belief of a solid Christian education, all 7 of my children attended, most of my grandchildren and now 3 greatgrands. I have also been a member of the BCE for 20 some years. St John is a gift that keeps on giving blessings." - Marie M.
"Three years ago, I was searching for the perfect preschool for our daughter, Bailey, when I happened to drive by SJLS and saw the bulletin board posting for openings. I made the phone call and thank God I made that decision! When Bailey started preschool at SJLS, she was quiet and shy. Now she is a confident, talkative six-year-old who has gained incredible social skills because of our family at SJLS. The atmosphere is so welcoming, friendly, and loving, it truly is like having a second family. I never worry about Bailey when she is at school. I know she is always being well cared for, loved, and supported. I cannot begin to say enough good things about the education offered here at SJ. In my opinion, the education offered here at SJLS is like that of no other school in our area. My heart is full knowing my daughter, at the young age of six, already has such a strong educational foundation! With all this being said, my absolute favorite part of being a part of SJLS is the interaction between the staff and the students. Never have I seen a school where all the staff members know every single student, the student’s parents/family, and genuinely care about each student and their families. The tuition might be scary to a lot of parents, as it was to me when I made the first phone call to discuss preschool three years ago. However, the principal, secretary, and other school staff go out of their way to help families acquire scholarships, discuss monthly payments, etc. to make the tuition much more attainable! Every single person at SJLS will go out of their way to help the students and family members, whether it is a school situation or even a personal situation. They are always right there with open arms ready to help in any way they can! Every day when I count my
blessings, I count SJLS twice and thank God for the second family we have been blessed with the past three years!" ~ Samantha N. SJLS Parent (Preschool-1st Grade, ongoing)

“I would have to say SJLS isn’t just a school it’s like
the kids and I have another close family, my children are so comfortable
there, they never do not want to go to school. In fact they get mad when
they get picked up early and don’t get to go to aftercare which is the best
perk at SJLS.” ~Vanessa P.

"St. John Lutheran School has made a tremendous impact on my life. From kindergarten on I've always felt like we were one big happy family. The older kids always interact and include the little kids, from academics to play time at recess. The little kids always look up to the big kids and the older kids realize they are role models because little eyes are always watching. Our numbers may be small but we get more individualized attention from our teachers. Learning about Jesus and lessons of God's love was sprinkled throughout the day, not just in religion class. Through these lessons I was fortunate enough to feel wrapped up in God's love as I transitioned to a much bigger school with many unknowns. I felt confident that I could do well with my studies and classwork. During the adjustment I made new friends and still kept my friendships with my SJLS buddies. SJLS, and the people there, helped shape me into who I am today. I'm blessed to have spent my elementary and jr. high days in that building with all those fun memories I'll carry with me forever.”
