Welcome to the 2009-2010 school year here at St. Stephens Lutheran School. The Lutheran Parent Teacher League, the LPTL, is an organization of the parents and the teachers of children at St. Stephens Lutheran School. Its purposes are to help parents and teachers achieve greater competence in Christian child training, to encourage families through planned events, and to raise funds to promote special projects at SSLS. To these ends, the LPTL Executive Board plans informative meetings, family events, and fundraising events. Being a parent or teacher of a child enrolled at St. Stephens Lutheran School automatically makes you a member of our LPTL.
Family events include a "back to school" swimming party and picnic at the Hickory YMCA, Muffins with Mom, Donuts with Dad, the Educational Fair and speakers. Fund raising events, including the magazine sale, Fall Festival, and Auction, will be used to continue to finance the library, computers, and the many activities of the LPTL.
The LPTL Executive Board cordially invites all of our St. Stephens family to participate in the many planned events.
