This hub is designed to wrap your school in support: from educators, to students, to family-connection tools. Together, we’re raising up Christ-followers who encourage one another and build each other up in love!
As the National Director of School Care, my hope is to walk alongside schools with a people-first heart, grounded in our shared mission. Thriving Christian schools aren’t built by programs alone; they grow through strong, faithful relationships rooted in Christ. Martin Luther reminded us that education is a vital calling, one through which God forms both hearts and minds.
Throughout my 25-year career in education, I have seen that when students, educators, congregations, and families come together in grace-filled partnership, something truly meaningful unfolds. When we lead with service, mutual care, and a shared trust in God’s promises, schools become places where faith is lived out daily and every person is valued as God’s beloved child.
May we continue to walk together, cultivating Christ-centered school communities marked by belonging, vocation, and joyful service, rooted in God’s design for friendship and life together in Him.
Thank you for your partnership. I am grateful to be called to this work alongside you.
Blessings,
Lisa Lawrenz, Ed.S.

Faith-based schools are called to shape students holistically: intellectually, emotionally, morally, and spiritually. At the same time, diocesan and network leaders are increasingly expected to demonstrate measurable outcomes that align with mission.
As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and the incredible love He showed for us, Easter is the perfect time to help students see how that love comes to life in everyday moments. These free Easter resources give you ready-to-go, engaging ways to bring the story of Christ into your classroom, helping students reflect on kindness, compassion, and faith in action.
As always, Friendzy is here to support you and your students on this journey of faith, growth, and connection during Lent and beyond.
The Christmas season fills our schools with light and song, yet full classrooms, busy schedules, and holiday preparations can make it difficult to slow our pace. Advent calls us into a holy rhythm of waiting, watching, and hope as we prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ.
Honor this season of anticipation with these Advent classroom activities, designed to help you and your students pause, gather, and refocus on God’s promises. Through simple, meaningful practices, children are invited to wonder, reflect, and rejoice as they journey through Advent, lighting the way toward Christmas.
Explore the activities below and enjoy creating playful, prayerful moments of connection with your students, rooted in Scripture, shaped by community, and filled with the joy of Christ’s coming.
Friendzy is grateful for the opportunity to partner with Lutheran schools in supporting you, your students, and your school communities. We are honored to share these resources and hope they spark meaningful conversation, joyful gratitude, acts of kindness, and thoughtful reflection rooted in faith.
