Barbara Darden - Special Service and Scholarship Fund

November 15, 2013

Dear Families:

It is with sadness that Astoria Lutheran school shares, that on November 8, 2013, Ms. Barbara Darden passed away after a long illness. Ms. Darden was a teacher at Queens Lutherans School/Astoria Lutheran School for over 35 years. Ms. Darden was the upper grade English teacher and had a great connection with the children.  In 1989, Ms. Darden was honored by the Lutheran Schools Association as Teacher of the Year.

A special service for Ms. Darden will be held at Grace Church, 31-20 21st Avenue, Astoria, New York 11105, on Sunday, December 8, 2013 at 3:00 p.m. Refreshments will be served in the Blue Room after the service.

In honor of Ms. Darden's long service at Queens Lutheran School and Astoria Lutheran School a scholarship fund will be established in her name.  An acknowledgement of your gift will be sent to the family.

Yours in Christ,

Mary-Elaine Leake
Principal/Director
