Try Kindergarten for a Day!

Any student that will be in kindergarten fall of 2024 is invited to join the current Kindergarten class for a whole day! The first day of school can be hard if you don’t know what to expect. Spending the whole day in kindergarten makes the first day of school a little easier. Our school day is from 8:00am-3:30pm, so any day that you are able to bring your kindergartener and we are in school. Just email our Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Powers at dpowers@gswels.org, and she will get you all of the information that you need!

Our WELS Home and World Missions administrators, featured missionaries, workshop presenters, and “Moments with Missionaries” will highlight where and how the soul-saving gospel message is being spread worldwide!
