Principal's Corner
It puts a smile on my face every time I hear a child tell their parent, "I love you!" before heading into the school building. I adore the art projects from students that get clipped to my door. I get excited hearing students are asking questions about Bible stories--like what is manna and what is a prophet.
It’s a blessing to offer students a word of encouragement when needed--the Good News that God loves us and sees each of us as His precious child, and He provides comfort and a fresh start.
Immanuel is a Christ-centered community. We partner together to teach our children about God's love for us, to provide an academic
education, and work together to, "Train up a child in the way he should go," so that "when he is old he will not depart from it." [Proverbs 22:6] What a blessing to be a part of such an important calling!
