GOLDEN YEARS FUND
One of the greatest needs for Martin Luther School is scholarship support. The cost of providing a superior Christian education in the greatest city in the world continues to rise, too often far past the point of affordability for our working families.
During our school’s early years (the 1960s through the 1980s), students benefited greatly from the solid financial support received from our Lutheran churches and families.
Unfortunately, as the strength of our Lutheran congregations has declined, so has their support.
In response to this decline in support, the creation of The Golden Years Scholarship Fund was established and announced in 2018 during the Golden Years Reunion.
Here’s How Your Support will Help:
This fund provides financial support to families who have chosen Martin Luther School for their child’s/children’s Middle School & High School education.
Additionally, it will be a source of funding for specific needs within our classrooms.
We have been abundantly blessed in the past and need to plan aggressively for the future.
We invite you to partner with us.
Your participation and support of The Golden Years Scholarship Fund are needed and appreciated.

Esther Maasbach Kalpaxis
Class of 1982
London Lennie’s – Manager / P.S. 91 Paraprofessional for ASD
Esther graduated from Martin Luther School in 1982 and has been in the restaurant business for 45 years. Esther moved on to become a paraprofessional and works with first-grade children who have Autism Spectrum Disorder. “I never thought that a career change would be so rewarding. I look forward to seeing the students every day.”
When asked about her experience at Martin Luther School, Esther stated, “Looking back, it was pretty amazing to be able to be in such small-sized classes. Along with academics, I think MLS stressed mental health issues before they became the explosive issue it is now. The staff cared. Whenever you had an issue, it was addressed.” Two faculty members influenced Esther most during her high school years at MLS, Mr. Regan, and Mr. Salerni. Regarding Mr. Regan, Esther said, “He was our gym teacher, always kind and gracious to all students, and made them feel welcome regardless of their athletic interests. Just an all-around gentleman. Esther also stated, “Mr. Salerni, our English teacher was always deep in thought and assisting us with life questions along with daily studies. Nice to have that back then.”
Esther shared that her best memory from MLS was that she was lucky enough to take Driver’s Education after school. As an Alumni of MLS, Esther gave this advice to the current student body based on her experience throughout high school. “Stay in school and get your degree. Navigating life is a lot easier with that.”
