Lakewood Lutheran School welcomes prospective students and families at an open house Sunday, Jan. 27, from 1-4 pm. Participants can apply for one of two $2,000 scholarships offered to new students at all the Lutheran Schools in Northeast Ohio. (Official application forms and rules are posted at www.Jesus4Students.com.) Lakewood Lutheran School, 1419 Lakeland—across from Taco Bell—serves the Lakewood community.

Most Northeast Ohioans speak with pride about the “Emerald Necklace”—the beautiful network of public parks that surround the city of Cleveland and benefit all who live nearby. Perhaps it’s time to start trumpeting another network that surrounds Northeast Ohio and also provides significant benefits to the community—the Lutheran Schools of Northeast Ohio!

There are thirteen Lutheran elementary schools and two Lutheran secondary schools within Cuyahoga, Medina, and Summit counties—all dedicated to help shape students into Christ-centered, well-educated, and productive citizens and disciples. Families of many different faiths attend Lutheran schools. Together, it’s a partnership that serves a vast range of communities.

Lakewood Lutheran School, 1419 Lakeland Ave. (corner of Detroit, Arthur, and Lakeland—across from Taco Bell and the main library) serves communities centered around Lakewood.

On Sunday, January 27, 2008, all fifteen Lutheran schools within the tri-county area—including Lakewood Lutheran--will open their doors to prospective families from 1:00 – 4:00 pm. They will also offer a chance to receive a $2,000 scholarship, usable in grades K-12 at any of the participating schools for the 2008-2009 school year. Scholarships will be awarded to two new students (i.e., those not currently attending a Lutheran school within the area) chosen from the valid applications received. Official scholarship rules and application forms are available on the website in January and at all schools during the open house.

For more information about the scholarship, visit the schools’ website at www.Jesus4Students.com or call 1-888-7-EQUIP-U.
