Covid-19 Reopening Precautions and Needs
One of the pillars of our mission to educate the whole child is to educate them socially. To that end, we feel it is integral to our high educational standards and culture that our students meet IN PERSON and FULL TIME.
Careful thought and intentional protocols have been put into place for the upcoming school year, but we acknowledge that because of the fluid nature of these times, we may require changes in our procedures. Please click here to learn more about Immanuel's plan for a safe return to school.
Safety protocols are also being put into place in church settings, including clear acrylic barriers on the pipe organ and piano in the balcony.
If you are able and feel led to do so, please help offset these additional costs by clicking here.

Immanuel Needs YOU!
$1,000 Tuition Grants for NEW Students!
An incredibly generous, anonymous donor has made a gift for the sole purpose of providing $1,000 Tuition Grants for each new student who enrolls in Immanuel Lutheran School in any grade, first through eighth, for the 2020-2021 school year!
- Students who enroll in Grades 1-8 [full time, full tuition] prior to the first day of the school year qualify for the full tuition bonus of $1,000 per student.
- For other enrollment time frames, the bonus is prorated.
- Families with multiple children may receive multiple bonuses.
- One bonus will be granted for each new student.
- A new student is defined as one who has not attended any grade level at Immanuel during the previous school year.
- Younger siblings of current or past Immanuel Lutheran School families do qualify.
- Eligibility as a new student can only occur once.
More program details are available by contacting the school office. This is truly an extraordinary opportunity. Please share it with friends, neighbors, teammates, church congregations, everyone! A printable copy of the postcard shown in this email header is available here.

Donating Lawn Equipment
Several donated lawn equipment items recently appeared in the garage. While the donations [and the thoughtfulness behind them] are greatly appreciated, storage space and manpower is limited, making it difficult to put new items to good use. If you have lawn or other equipment you would like to donate, please contact Paul Helfrecht [paulwh@sbcglobal.net] or Dave Winecke [winecke@ameritech.net] prior to bringing it to Immanuel. Thank you.
