Seventh Man

 If you've been following Immanuel volleyball this year, you know that our Lady Lancers are in the Regional finals this Saturday, 7:00pm, October 21, at Marshfield Columbus vs. the #1 ranked D4 team in the state. Our girls played them tough in a tourney earlier this year. I'm not here to talk sports, per se, but rather the "seventh player on the floor" each night. Regardless of whether the match is on the road or at home, our Lady Lancers have some extra energy provided by their fans. 

In the words of Coach Joe Lau regarding our fans, "You were the 7th person on the court tonight. Our girls definitely fed off the energy you brought. You're the best fans out there! Keep it up!" It is not just from our own folks we've heard positive feedback. Over the course of the last several years, opposition fans and officials have echoed those same thoughts. Last night two different parents from Assumption commented that our students were much appreciated, creating an awesome high school sports atmosphere. The officials echoed those thoughts. From our AD Dave Rodebaugh: "The officials told me that they really appreciated your cheering and how positive it was." 

Principal Gullerud just shared this: "Dear Students, I just got off the phone with the dad of #10 from Assumption. He called to share that you were the best student section he has ever seen in high school sports. He said you had awesome cheers and were very well mannered. He shared that it was a bitter-sweet loss, but he will be praying for our team and might drive up with his family to see the game in Marshfield on Saturday. Thank you for representing Immanuel, our school and our Savior, so well. Looking forward to Saturday night!"

Signs of Spring on Campus?

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 Mayhe...

Senior Class Trip 2024

Image
The senior class trip was a success yesterday! The Lord blessed us with amazing weather, safe travels and a lot of fun fellowship.  We spent a couple hours at Sky Zone in the morning, then ate lunch downtown St. Paul at an Italian restaurant called  Cossetta . We spent the afternoon at the beach at Homestead Parklands County Park near Hudson and grilled hot dogs and hamburgers for supper. Finally we drove to downtown Hudson for ice cream at Knoke's , then took a walk along the riverfront as the sun set. Many thanks to Christian & Kea Goodman, Morgan Lone, and April Sydow for chaperoning, driving, and for bringing food & games for the trip! Also, thank you, seniors, for letting your light shine everywhere you went. I really appreciated how you conducted yourself in a positive, helpful, trustworthy, and patient way throughout the day!  Here is a link to pictures from the day.  https://photos.app.goo.gl/ Djp3WQJmLZ4CT69U8   In Christ, Prof. G...
