Principal's Corner
by Donna Laughlin
There are so many valuable learning experiences happening in our classrooms every day! This week our preschoolers observed the progress of their mealworms that are growing into pupa, which will eventually become beetles. Our middle school students participated in an online simulation exploring wavelength and frequency in science class and discussed the best and worst of humanity during WWII while working on their holocaust projects.
One moment that was particularly poignant was in fourth grade. Students created cards with comforting messages and Bible verses, and they recorded themselves singing Jesus Love Me and Amazing Grace for Mrs. Wert's friend whose father is gravely ill. It was very touching, and Mrs. Wert emphasized that it was the work of the Holy Spirit that in their desire to comfort someone who was experiencing fear about a loved one's imminent death her students wanted to share the Good News of God's love and the redemption freely given through Jesus Christ.
Before closing, I want to extent a huge thanks to Immanuel's PTL and students for all of the ways you showered our staff with cards, gifts, and treats. We feel very loved and appreciated!
We are also so thankful to our PTL for organizing Restaurant Nights again this year. We earned $138 from the March Restaurant Night at That Burger Joint. Please click below [Support] for information about our next Restaurant Night on Apr. 27,10:30 AM-10 PM at MOD Pizza in St. Charles.
