Seven schools from as far away as New Haven, Indiana, and Freeport, Illinois, will participate. Games begin Friday evening, Feb. 8, and continue through Sunday afternoon. Additional activities include a 3-point Shoot Out and a Free Throw Contest on Saturday, as well as the ever-popular Chuck a Duck (made popular at the varsity girls basketball and volleyball tournaments). In addition, Immanuel’s Student Council is hosting a Neon Night dance for students in grades 5-8 from all tournament schools immediately following the Sat. 5:30 PM worship service.

The tournament committee has worked incredibly hard putting this new tournament event together. In order to make it successful, your help is needed. Please consider volunteering an hour or two. Volunteers are needed for admissions and concessions, as well as scoreboard operators and hall monitors. This will be a fun opportunity to serve and cheer on our Eagles.

Principal's Corner

Here’s what’s newsworthy this week:

This was a very short school week! We only had two days of school due to a snow day and two cold days, but we still packed a lot of fun and learning into those two short days!
Students in K-2 celebrated our 100th day of school together. It was a day filled with art, math, language arts activities, and getting to know students and teachers from other classrooms.
Students in K-5 participated in the Kids Heart Challenge, formerly called Jump Rope for Heart. This is Immanuel’s nineteenth year participating!
We also held our annual Spelling Bee—results will be shared next week.

Orders for Basketball Mom/Dad and Cheer Mom/Dad spirit shirts have been sent home. The final submission date to order Fri., Feb. 1. Thank you for your support for the basketball and cheer teams!

Explore God

Over the course of seven weeks, we’re tackling some of our biggest questions about life, God, and Jesus. Everyone is invited—this is a great opportunity to invite friends and family who are conflicted about the concept of faith. Invitation cards are available in the church lobby to help you do just that.

There is also an open discussion group exploring these questions on a deeper level. Join the conversation on Mondays at 6:30 PM at Pal Joey's in Batavia.

If you have questions, please contact Pr. Eric Kennaugh at 630 879 7163 or ekennaugh@immanuelbatavia.org .
