Dear Immanuel family,

I am very proud of how well our teachers are doing with school at home. In addition to all of the Zoom meetings, lessons posted, videos recorded and report cards, they are praying for your children every day.

Today report cards are going to be posted in Sycamore. To see the third quarter report card, log in and find your child's profile. After clicking on your child's name, click on Documents at the top of the screen. The top document on the list should be the latest report card. We will not mail report cards home this quarter.

Please join in on the giant virtual Easter egg hunt. Send me a photo of your family at home with an egg hidden somewhere in the picture. I will put them together and challenge all of us to a virtual Easter egg hunt.

God's blessings,
Sharon Wallace
Bible Verse of the month:

Packet PickUp Day

With the Governor extending the "Safe at Home" mandate we will be hosting another pick day April 6th from 7:00am-10:00am for 3K, Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 5th. There won't be a scheduled time to pick up this time so come anytime between those hours. To limit the person to person contact please pull up and open your trunk so we can drop the packet right in. If you can't make it to Immanuel during those times please contact the office or Mrs. Wallace to set up another time. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we try to help your children get what they need.
IMMANUEL ON-LINE BOOK FAIR April 3-17
Chromebooks Available

We do have more Chromebooks available to borrow. If you would like to borrow one, reply to this email and we will work with you to set up a time to pick one up. There is a waiver to sign valuing the Chromebook at $85 but there is no cost for using a school Chromebook. All of our Chromebooks are managed, which means they can only be used with school accounts.
VIP Day Canceled
 
After careful consideration, we are formally canceling both our Preschool VIP Day on April 30 and our K-8 VIP Day on May 1. As it stands now we will be back in school at that point, however we are letting you know now about this cancellation so you can let any VIPs that may have been planning to take off of work, make travel plans, etc. that we look forward to VIP Day in 2021.

Even though VIP Day is canceled, we are able to bring you our Scholastic book fair on-line (see link above).
 
Thank you for your understanding!
 
An idea for the present time: Consider having your child create a picture or card for special people in their lives, and mail it to them! Everyone loves getting handmade mail, and during these times of little interaction with others it might just brighten their day a little bit! Your child can remind those special people that they love them, and Jesus loves them too! You could even help your child address an envelope and teach them where the return address goes and where to put the stamp on the envelope and put it in the mailbox together.

School News
Dear Immanuel Lutheran,

It has been a joy and blessing to serve the Lord at Immanuel. It has been a season of growth for me as a musician, a church worker, and a Christian. After a time of careful prayer and consideration with my family, I believe that the Lord is calling me to a new season by accepting the call to St. Martin in Clintonville beginning the school year 2020-2021.

God’s continued blessings,
Cindy Fosheim
Dear Immanuel family,

Ten years ago we were welcomed into the Immanuel family as we moved our family here from Ohio. Over the last decade we have enjoyed serving alongside you to share the Gospel with children and families. What a blessing to help bring in such amazing teachers to serve the families of Immanuel! It has been exciting to be able to see the school grow and it has been a privilege to get to know all of the children and families coming through Immanuel for school. We will always cherish the relationships formed over our years at Immanuel.

Now it is time for us to move forward. I have accepted the call to serve St. Paul Lutheran Church and School in Peachtree City, Georgia. I will be going down to Georgia as soon as the school year ends. Mark will stay here in Wisconsin running his lawn care business and getting the house ready to sell. Sarah is headed to CUW in the fall to study elementary education and special education with hopes to teach in a Lutheran school after graduation. The school in Peachtree City is one of two Lutheran schools in Georgia, offering classes for one year olds through eighth grade. St. Paul was founded 25 years ago to bring God’s Word to children and families in the community. I am looking forward to meeting the teachers and students in my new school.

I am grateful for all of the support and the learning opportunities Immanuel has provided. I will miss all of the children. I already miss seeing them everyday because of this shut down. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me and for my family during our time together. Please stay in touch.

God’s richest blessings,
Sharon Wallace

Join us in reading through the RED LETTERS of Jesus!

The goal of Red Letter Challenge (RLC) is to assist people to live more like Jesus. Ever wonder who said those Red Letters in the Bible? Wonder no more! Those Red Letters are Christ’s Words and instructions on how we are called to live. 

The RLC is unique because it takes Christ’s literal words and gives you practical challenges to live life like Jesus. With the help of RLC we will grow to love and learn how to follow Jesus not as a requirement but out of thanksgiving and love for Jesus.


  • Are you ready for the Challenge! Start this 40 Day Challenge in a few different ways:

  • Be sure to be in worship March 8-March 29 to hear the sermon series on this topic.

  • Join the adult Bible Study Class on Sunday mornings in the fellowship hall.


  • Buy a book to work through the material on your own.

  • Get a group of friends and family together and chat with Heather Vahl with ideas on how to lead your own small group.

  • Pray for Jesus to lead you to new growth in Him!
