So many fun things to do!

Really fun weekend at Bethany Lutheran School Naperville, IL ! There was a little something for everyone! Friday night was our annual Daddy Daughter Dance - disco theme! Saturday was the fifth and sixth grade volleyball tournament (congrats on a 2nd place finish!) as well as a Cross Country meet for 3rd-8th graders (with some 1st place finishes!). We also hosted Oktoberfest complete with bouncy houses, delicious food, and themed music. If youโ€™re looking for community you will find it at Bethany! Feel free to post more pictures in the comments!

2024 - 2025 Chapel Offerings

This yearโ€™s chapel offerings will be going to our districtโ€™s mission โ€œHearts for Jesus 2024- 2025โ€. 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 โ€œTrain up a child in the way he should go,โ€  highlighting our responsibility to create environments that foster healthy development. Thank you for your support!


The Royal Run!

The children run 26.2 miles throughout the school year. They keep track of their progress, sharpening their math and graphing skills along the way. We had a glorious day for our big kick off! #bethanyproud #endure

A reflection from an 8th grader....

"For the rest of my life, I will always remember the Christian education Iโ€™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

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
