What's Happening at Immanuel?

Thanks to the efforts of Rachel and Marty Rosendahl and Marty's mother, Marjorie Rosendahl, Immanuel now has a Pickleball Club. The first meeting was held this past weekend. All the equipment was donated by Marjorie for use by the Immanuel family. The "picklers" had to work around the indoor batting cage by taping temporary lines on the gym floor. After Marty and Rachel shared some drills to remind those who took the Pickleball Miniclass in February about a good approach to playing, the students squared off for some friendly competition. Plans are to continue to meet, hopefully weekly, throughout the rest of the quarter. Play will likely move outside once the weather improves. All are invited to join.

Flowers blooming? Trees blossoming? Grass greening? Signs of spring, yes, but on the Immanuel campus, there are some unique yet familiar to former students, signs of spring besides what the Lord has created for us in nature. 🌺 TRACK:  Coaches Steve Sydow and Eve Naumann and assistants begin working with this year's group of track athletes. The pleasant weather means they may get out sooner than usual. Practice begins Monday, March 4. 🌳  SOFTBALL/BASEBALL:  The unseasonably mild weather may also allow softball coaches Lillo and Tiefel and baseball coaches Lau and Roehl to get their teams outside earlier than usual and participate in their full schedule of  practices and  games. Softball begins practice on March 11 with baseball beginning a week later on March 18. 🌼  SPRING PLAY:  Tryouts have been held and the cast chosen for the play to be presented on Visitors' Day,  April 26th and 27th.  Directors George Carstensen and Trinity Mayhew have chosen  The Crazy Cowgirls of Pemb

 "Athletes are made in the summer; teams are made in the fall." That statement is true. Players need to work on their individual game in the summer time so that when thy show up for school they have improved and are able to provide more to the team effort. There are four opportunities offered by Immanuel for students to improve themselves. June 6-8 there is a basketball camp for girls held on the campus. Details Here . July 21-24 there are two volleyball camps. Details here:  Grade School     High School . June - August: Lancer "Hoop It Up" shooting program for grades 3-8. Details here . Throughout the summer there are weekly workouts for boys. Contact John Radichel (john.radichel@yahoo.com).

 It was a great three days! There were over 80 class sessions presented by close to 50 different presenters (many doing multiple classes). Two highlights were a barbershop quartet entertaining students over the lunch hour followed by a one-act play performed by a group of collegians. Mega kudos to all the presenters, drivers, faculty, staff, and students.   If you like pictures , we'll be adding more to what is here as they are received.

Hey, before you go purchase your seeds for the spring, consider checking out the seeds the Immanuel Activities Committee has to offer. A member of the CLC managed to rescue between 3000-4000 seed packets that were headed for the dumpster. They are Burpee seeds dated for the 2023 season so are still very viable. They are being offered for a donation to student activities. There are multiple types of every vegetable and flower you can imagine, and some you probably can't. The seeds will be available at the Grade School Basketball Tournaments held March 8-10, but if you can't wait, stop by the campus and ask to see the seeds. Kudos to the three ambitious students who took time to sort and organize them.

The winters here at Immanuel, located in “the tall green pines” of the northwoods of Wisconsin, can wear on the spirits of the Immanuel family particularly during the long stretch of time between the Christmas break and Spring Break. To break up that time almost 30 years ago, then Professor Ron Roehl developed “Miniclasses” here at Immanuel. For a number of years Prof. Mark Kranz took over the reins and now Professor Ross Roehl organizes members of the senior high school class to plan the event. In the past, classes have been presented on subjects as diverse as sign language, automobile maintenance, woodburning, and ice fishing. Each one hundred minute class is a stand-alone unit, with a goal of giving enrollees experience in a hobby, skill, or occupation that they might wish to pursue in the future. For example, those with a curiosity about the construction trades have gotten hands-on training in skills like house framing, electrical wiring, and the installation of siding. Those who l
