12th Annual Celebration Lutheran School Gala 
Join us on May 1st 2026 at Poplar Hall in Appleton!
Join us for an unforgettable evening as we come together for the Celebration Lutheran School Gala—our largest fundraiser of the year. This year's Gala theme, Sounds of Our Story, is rooted in our school theme, “Let’s Make a Joyful Noise” (Psalm 98:4), and allows us an opportunity to gather in fellowship, to celebrate the ways God has blessed our school community, and to set our sights on the future that, with your generosity, we can build together.

The Gala is more than an event—it’s a joyful experience filled with meaning and momentum. Guests will enjoy:
  • A lively, silent and live auction featuring one-of-a-kind items and experiences
  • Beautiful student artwork showcasing the creativity of our CLS kids
  • Live music that carries the heartbeat of our theme
  • And celebrations at every turn reminding us why this community is so special.

Every gift, every bid, every joyful cheer makes a difference. Your presence not only supports the mission of CLS today but also helps us write the next chapter of our story—one filled with faith, excellence, and endless possibilities for our students.
Come ready to celebrate. Come ready to be inspired. Come ready to Make a Joyful Noise!
