Zion Lutheran Early Childhood Endowment Fund

The Zion Lutheran Early Childhood Education Preschool Program in Palmyra, MO strives to meet the needs of the whole child in an environment that also nurtures the spiritual growth of the child.

When its longtime director retired in 2017, the preschool saw the perfect opportunity to honor her and to help secure the future of the program.

“Our Board of Education realized the need for a stable, predictable source of income for our organization,” said Regina Boyer, Chairman of the preschool’s board of education. “We began by asking our members to make a donation to honor Mrs. Luella Powell, who retired after 45 years of service to our preschool. Our members responded wonderfully. Their support will grow the endowment and ensure Christ-centered, early childhood education is available in our community.”

The Zion Lutheran Early Childhood Endowment provides long-term, permanent support for Zion’s preschool, allowing the organization to focus on its mission and the students it serves.
