What’s done to children, they will do to society.
Karl Menninger
BIG RESPONSIBLITY
As I typed the quote above, I had a bit of de-ja vu and realized I have used this quote before; but in my opinion, it’s a good one. Although, I feel it puts a lot of weight on us as a school, especially in today’s world! Yikes! The school is held responsible for a lot. I’m guilty of it as a parent –we hand them off to the school each morning and make them responsible for their “smarts”; and in the case at Immanuel, sometimes it ends up being used as a substitute for the religion portion. We can hope we are an addition to the religion aspect, but either way…that’s a lot of responsibility!!
I know these teachers give their heart and soul here and we can be extra thankful for them this Thanksgiving season! They not only worry about what type of grades these students are getting but also worry about their spiritual well-being and what kind of adults they will become. They want the best for these kiddos- In all aspects of their lives here on earth and prepare them for the next! 
May you have a blessed Thanksgiving Season with your family and remember to pray for the teachers and their families. Remember to thank them personally as well for all they do in helping our children grow up to be faithful stewards In this society!

Book Fair
The Book Fair always brings a lot of fun and amusement to the building for a week! This year, the focus was on book characters; and the children were able to focus on some of their favorite characters and their love for reading by painting pumpkins, decorating classroom doors, and participating in different games throughout the week. There are a lot of good reasons to get those kiddos reading!
The most exciting thing here at Immanuel Is reading an “above ordinary” book–the Bible. It Is very fun and exciting to know that the children are learning about all the “characters” of the Bible and soaking In what this book has to offer!
