St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran School Wellness Policy

St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran School is committed to the optimal development of every student. We believe that for students to have the opportunity to achieve personal, academic, developmental, and social success, we created a positive, safe, and health-promoting learning environment at every level, in every setting, throughout the school year.
