Dear Immanuel Family,
Yesterday was Reformation Day, a celebration of the work of Martin Luther in leading the protestant reformation. It is also the anniversary of the founding of Immanuel Lutheran Church, October 31, 1912. God was, is, and always will be alive and present for his people!
Today was our Limo lunch for all the students that brought in at least $125 in support through the fall fundraiser. In the end, we raised over $10,000 for school field trips. Thank you for your participation.
Next week is parent/teacher conferences. You should know by now when your conference is scheduled. Please come a little early to help the teachers stay on time. The middle school conferences run differently from the rest of the school. There are not specific appointments, but rather a block of time for parents to walk up to any of the middle school teachers in the gymnasium. The teachers will all be there and parents do not have to speak with all of the teachers, but parents can talk with as many teachers as they choose.
The snow reminds us Christmas is right around the corner. Be sure you have the Christmas services on your calendar. (They are all listed below)
God's Blessings,
Sharon Wallace

Thank you Immanuel Lutheran Family!
PTL has been blessed to host three fundraisers already this year. The golf outing, fall fest, and most recently the volleyball tournament. Just from these fundraisers, PTL has been able to raise $13,000.00! Wow, what an accomplishment. Thank you first to God for these opportunities, then to our wonderful volunteers and donors. The next PTL fundraiser will be the basketball tournament in January. If you would like to join PTL please contact Mr. Amling at

Chapel Offering
This year our chapel offerings will once again go to support the SOS Center located at 4620 W. North Ave, Milwaukee. Below is a brief description of the mission. You may visit their website at
soscenterinc.org
for more information.
Mission
- The SOS Center is a non-profit social services agency that facilitates Christian care, educational instruction, after school programming & life skills activities for children and families in the Milwaukee community.
SOS Values Statement – SOS Center Believes In:
- Service: We commit to serve God by helping others.
- Faith: We illustrate by words and actions that communities are uplifted when Christian values are taught and practiced.
- Peace: We commit to provide a safe atmosphere of respect, peace and love.
SOS Center is broadening its scope to not only include existing programs but develop more family ministry programs and mercy ministries in collaboration and partnership with other LCMS churches – both urban and suburban.
To date we have collected $513.54 for the SOS Center in Milwaukee. We will continue to collect through November.
Chapel offerings can be brought to our weekly Wednesday chapel services and placed in the treasure box located at the front of church. Thank you for your generosity in giving and for teaching your children the blessing of giving to others!

Blood Drive
Immanuel's blood drive is coming up,
Monday November 11 from 1:00pm-7:00pm
. We have nearly 400 students...do you realize if every student could recruit just ONE PERSON, we'd easily surpass our goal. Not everyone who comes to donate blood is able, and some people need to be turned away especially with the beginning of cold/flu season. We want school families involved and participating!!! If you can't/won't donate blood, please ask your friends, family, neighbors....reach out via text or facebook or have your child call someone to ask! Get
someone
to come donate blood on Monday November 11! Its an easy way to save many lives! Every pint counts!
As an Immanuel student, if you recruit ONE PERSON to come to donate blood you get:
-a medal or bracelet (depending on grade)
-30 minute jump pass to Sky Zone!
As a classroom at Immanuel, for every person that your class recruits you get a point toward:
-a pizza/soda AND ice cream party sponsored by the McCaughn's who run this blood drive every year!
-a $100 gift card for the teacher/classroom to use at their discretion!
As a blood donor you get:
-a coupon for a hair cut from Sport Clips
-a coupon for a FREE pint of custard from Culvers
-entry into raffle for 2 Badgers Tickets!
-yummy homemade goodies/snacks after you are done donating!

Basketball season is coming soon! Students who play basketball are not allowed to stay after school unless there is a practice scheduled right after school. So, if practice is at 4:30, student athletes must go home after school or go to child care if they are registered. Then, at 4:30 (no earlier than 4:20) students return to school for practice.
The Immanuel policy is that no student is allowed in the building unsupervised after 3:10. Parents need to be with their children until practice begins or a coach is in charge.
