School Spotlight - Our Savior Lutheran School, Aiea, HI | |
From Joel Wahlers, CNH District's Education Executive:
It was a joy to attend chapel at Our Savior Lutheran School in Aiea, Hawaii. Chapel was led by the 8th grade class and their teacher, Pacey Hall. They did a great job of helping students see the importance of living out the grace and love of Christ! Part of their chapel is the singing of Hawai’i’ Aloha, a beloved Hawaiian anthem.
Our Savior has been a part of the Aiea and Pearl City community since 1971. Started as a preschool, it grew to include Kindergarten through 8th grade in 1973. Mr. Clarence DeLude is the current principal of Our Savior, which has a current enrollment of 114 students in preschool through 8th grade.
