The first snowfall of the year!

There’s a sense of joy and wonder as our younger students experience the magic of snow for the first time this year!

Cutest little raccoons!

Today at Bethany Lutheran, our little ones had so much fun making adorable raccoon masks! It was such a joy to see their creativity shine as they crafted these fun animal masks, all while learning about God's creation and the beauty of the world around us. It’s amazing to watch them grow in both their faith and their creativity. What a wonderful way to celebrate the world God made, one crafty raccoon at a time!

Civil War History

Our 8th graders at Bethany Lutheran School Naperville, IL have been diving deep into the Civil War, exploring not just the history but also the daily lives of those who lived through it. As part of their studies, they got the chance to taste history by preparing authentic Civil War-era foods!

Union Hardtack: Simple but sturdy, this hard biscuit was a staple for Union soldiers. The students learned how this simple, hard cracker helped sustain troops during long marches and difficult times.

Confederate Johnny Cakes: A cornmeal flatbread, this was a common food for Confederate soldiers. Our students worked together to make this classic Southern dish, experiencing a little bit of what life might have been like on the homefront.

These hands-on lessons bring history to life in such meaningful ways, and we're proud of how our 8th graders are making connections between the past, faith, and their own lives.

3rd grade Writers Tea!

Today we enjoyed the Writer’s Tea presentations by our 3rd graders! The students researched and read biographical information, created storyboards, prepared speeches, and dressed up as their character. The kindergarten through eighth grade students came down to encourage them and to learn some new facts! Way to go 3rd grade! (Check out the picture of Miss Clasen when she was in 3rd grade!!)
