Senior Class Trip 2024

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.

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 Mayhew have chosen  The Crazy Cowgirls of Pemb

Sportsmanship Clinic

Image
I served as chaperone for the sportsmanship clinic on Thursday, October 19 at Eleva-Strum High School. On the way down to Eleva, the van was filled with quiet conversation, but on the way back to campus, there was lots of chatter as the students talked about their experiences during the event. I sat in the back of the room and listened to the presentation. Craig Hillier is an engaging presenter and his content on teamwork and leadership can be applied to many situations that students will encounter throughout their lives. The speaker began with some fun ice-breakers which got the students out of their shells (and comfort zones). He shared personal anecdotes to illustrate his points and mixed up his presentation with lots of movement—including a rowdy game of Simon Says. I enjoyed watching our students from Immanuel meet and interact with students from other schools in the Dairyland Conference. (Jill Tiefel) From some of the student attendees: " It was cool to see a bunch of people
