National Lutheran Schools Week 2026
March 2 - March 6
Psalm 98:4
Fittingly for such a joyous occasion, the theme of this NLSW is “Let’s Make a Joyful Noise!”, drawn from Psalm 98:4 (“Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!”).
“Making this joyful noise is about having forgiven hearts filled with God’s goodness,” writes LCMS President Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison in a proclamation inaugurating the –event. “Lutheran education is built upon Christ and His Gospel, and we are confident in the knowledge that through His Word, Jesus is present in every classroom. … We use this celebration to renew our gratitude, reignite our mission and remind us of the joy we have in Jesus.”
