To kick of the 2016 National Lutheran Schools week, Concordia Academy in Roseville invited local LCMS schools to celebrate all that God is doing in those schools. More than 1,000 students from 10 schools attended a day of celebration, and numerous teachers and volunteers helped make the day a success.

Participants spent the day in worshiping together, learning in breakout sessions, playing games, and celebrating Life Together in Christ. "It was truly a blessing to experience smiles, laughter, and joy everywhere that I turned during our National Lutheran Schools Week Celebration," said Concordia Academy Principal Tim Berner.

A gallery with almost 150 photos from the day can be viewed online. The password is "starwars". You can download the full resolution photos by clicking on the download icon (an arrow with a line under it) in the bottom right corner of any photo.

Some of those photos have also been posted on Concordia Academy's Facebook page.
