You know the kids are back in school when the apples come out! Our youngest Bethany students enjoyed an apple taste test, sensory bins, and a sweet little birthday treat. They kids spent some beautiful time outside on our newly-renovated playground! What a joy it is to be little! #bethanyproud #endure
2024 - 2025 Chapel Offerings
This year’s chapel offerings will be going to our district’s mission “Hearts for Jesus 2024- 2025”. We will be raising funds to start the process to replace the playground through the Belize Mission Society. The current playground at St. Alphonsus School in Seine Bight, Belize has been decaying and is no longer a safe environment for the 200+ students. This playground is next to Christ Lutheran Church where the message of Jesus is proclaimed in Word and deed. We get to be good neighbors and then speak of the Living Hope we have in Our Savior. Like we desire to connect with our communities here, the mission in Seine Bight wants to connect with children and families for the sake of the Kingdom.
By investing in this project, we are not just building a playground; we are nurturing a generation to grow strong in faith and body, reflecting the divine care God has for each of His children. In Proverbs 22:6, we are reminded to “Train up a child in the way he should go,” highlighting our responsibility to create environments that foster healthy development. Thank you for your support!

A reflection from an 8th grader....
"For the rest of my life, I will always remember the Christian education I’ve received, and hold it close to my heart." --a recent graduate
This 2023 graduate was at Bethany Lutheran School Naperville, IL for 11 years. Our #1 goal is to teach our students about Jesus and all that He has done. We are here to prepare them for this world and the next. All praise be to God! #bethanyproud #connectedinChrist

"Showdown on Modaff" versus St. Rafael!
The teams were great competition for one another!
Creating lifelong learning habits
Our staff participated in a conference regarding Executive Functioning how to to best help students. Here's an example of what the Jr. High is promoting. Setting them up for success is only one of the many ways to help them have a positive educational journey at Bethany Lutheran School Naperville, IL! Knowing they are loved and forgiven by Jesus is by far the best foundation to give, and the rest falls into place! #connectedinChrist #bethanyproud
The future is so bright for our 2 year-olds!
