Ernest Stammeier and his Spouse will be recognized in the new library and the music class for their kind contribution towards those projects. The director already recommended to the next board meeting that the new library be named: Stammeier Library.

The Lutheran Board of Mission sent JLSS a grant last year towards the new science lab and the new computer lab which will be inaugurated soon, in addition to support towards expenses of the general budget.

We express our most sincere gratitude to the Lutheran Board of Mission - USA for their wonderful support of our school which is enabling us to equip the school with necessary facilities that will enormously enhance our teaching program. We also thank them for the support we receive towards general expenses and the specific needs of our children.

We also express our sincere gratitude to the Schneller Alumni for their wonderful support and the special gifts that will meet the needs of our children.  In giving JLSS children directly our alumni are preparing our students to be future supporters of our school. This is a double blessing!
