28th Annual Student Leadership Retreat

Every summer, two weeks before the upcoming school year begins,  twenty-four 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students from the St. John’s Lutheran School Student Leadership Team attend an on-campus 2 day “retreat.”  The activities of August 6th and 7th, 2018 were designed to serve two purposes:1) The Student Leadership Team planned, prepared and strategized for the major events it will host for the upcoming school year, including:
