School Notes
- Emmanuel and Faith Lutheran Churches of York, Nebraska, operate our school, founded in 1957, for the purpose of aiding parents in following the Bible directive -"Bring up your children in the nurture and admonition ofthe Lord."(Ephesians 6:4b KJV). The home is, and always should be, the chief agency for the Christian training of the child. A Christian Day School does not relieve parents of this task. All activities of the school day are permeated with God's Word and Christian guidance and leadership.
