National Lutheran Schools Week 2026

National Lutheran Schools Week (NLSW) is a time to celebrate the blessings of Lutheran education and to joyfully proclaim Jesus’ love in our schools and communities. In 2026, schools across the country will gather around the theme “Let’s Make a Joyful Noise!” inspired by Psalm 98:4, highlighting praise, worship, service, and community.

Throughout the week, students and staff will participate in special activities, themed dress-up days such as Joyful Noise in Service, and community outreach opportunities that reflect God’s work through Lutheran schools.

In the middle of a busy school year, our Winter Retreat is a chance to slow down, reconnect, and reset—with God, with friends, and with yourself.

We’ll head to the beautiful Lutheran Valley Retreat (LVR) in the Pike National Forest, where their mission is to share God’s grace and glory through His creation. Surrounded by tall pines and crisp mountain air, we’ll spend the weekend growing closer as a community through:

✨ Devotion and worship time
🤝 Team-building and small group connections
🌲 Quiet moments with Christ in the serenity of the forest
🍲 Great meals and plenty of laughter
🎮 Awesome games and large-group fun

This retreat is open to all 6th–12th grade students. Middle school and high school participants will have their own Bible study and team-building sessions, then come together for shared meals, games, and worship.
