Each new school year brings a fresh start and exciting changes.
Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, we have plenty of exciting additions to our school. Join us as we begin the 65th year of ministry at Green Park and celebrate “65 Years of Green Park”.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4

Enhanced Main Entry and Collaborative Learning Space
Thanks to the success of our Give STL Day Chalk It Up Campaign this past spring, we were able to create collaborative learning spaces designed to foster creativity, teamwork, and hands-on learning for Green Park’s students. These spaces will be transformative, supporting the school’s mission to provide an innovative and engaging learning environment that helps students develop skills for the future.
Thanks to members of our Property Management team, we also replaced the carpet in our main foyer just outside the office.
New Gym Doors and a Fresh Coat of Paint
With grant support from the Scott Credit Union Community Foundation, we upgraded and replaced our courtyard double doors this past spring.
A new coat of paint was put on the walls leading from the main foyer into the gym space.
Outdoor Spaces Get Spruced Up
Thanks to our Viking Village, many volunteer hours have been poured into our outdoor spaces to spruce up our campus. Our courtyard was leveled out and new mulch was spread to enhance our ability to eat outside during lunch time and to utilize the courtyard as an outdoor learning area. An additional interactive outdoor learning environment was created parallel to our soccer field. It has been made possible through a creative solution to reuse wood from necessary tree removal from the same location.
New Water Bottle Filling Stations
Thanks to our Giving Tuesday efforts, donations, and generous donors, we were able to upgrade our drinking fountains to bottle–filling stations throughout school.
Athletic Department Gets a Facelift
Our Athletics Department is bursting at the seems with new ideas and updated equipment. We’ve never been so pumped about our Athletics. The locker rooms have been reorganized and our soccer nets and goals received a facelift this summer and are ready for a new season of soccer.
Technology Advancements
Promethean Boards for the JK3 and JK4 classrooms highlight the advancing technology taking place every day in our classrooms. Each classroom is equipped with state of the art Promethean Boards which allow teachers an electronic chalkboard, to connect with students using their devices, and utilize it within their daily teaching for videos, pictures, and more.
GP Family Grows
Beyond celebrating the newest Junior Kindergarteners of course, be on the lookout. Green Park’s K-8th grade classes have continued to grow and we’ve added second classrooms in many of the grades.

Sarah is a graduate of Southeast Missouri State University where she earned her degree in Early Childhood Education. Over the course of her teaching career, she has taught second grade, kindergarten, first grade, K-2 Special Education, and Early Childhood Special Education.

“Finding Green Park has been the biggest blessing! Being a teacher at Green Park is a prayer answered! I am so excited to be a part of what God is doing through the mission of the school and the work of the teachers and staff.”
Jess Eggold, Middle School Teacher and Athletic Director
Jess joined the Green Park faculty in 2025. Prior to joining Green Park, she spent time serving in multiple areas in Lutheran schools– as PE Assistant, middle school math and PE teacher, school bookkeeper, and Athletic Director. Jess is also a GP alum.
“I was drawn back to Green Park because I loved being there as a student and it holds a special place in my heart as my mom was a teacher and my dad was in administration. I believe in Lutheran education and want to continue to share the joy of Christ and continue the legacy of Green Park. Green Park is like home to me. I love the community I feel when I walk through the doors. The love of God shines bright through the staff, volunteers and students.”
