St. John's Lutheran School Photo #1
St. John's Lutheran School Photo #2 - Outdoor Ed at Camp Rotary in Clare was so much fun this year. We tried our hand at climbing and rappelling, archery, shooting bb guns, and other fun games with students from other schools. (Fall 2019)
St. John's Lutheran School Photo #3 - Students of SJL School learn and have fun while conducting water testing experiments, getting salmon eggs in the fall, releasing salmon in the spring, and competing in Science Fairs and in the Delta Math Competition.
