  Parents, as you know next week is parent-teacher conferences here at Emanuel. That makes for some very long days for our teachers. We are looking to you for monetary donations so that we can provide meals for all of our teachers, to help get them through those long evenings. If you would like to contribute, any money can be brought to the office, or put into an envelope with Mrs. Eidenberger's name and placed in one of the drop boxes. If you could bring your money by end of the day on November 2nd, that would be great!

Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, impacts many people, especially in places like Wisconsin that experience drastic changes between seasons. In case you haven't heard of SAD before, Mayo Clinic defines it as, "A type of depression that's related to changes in seasons" ( Mayo Clinic website ). Most people with SAD experience symptoms from fall through winter, and one of the main reasons is because we have less sunlight during those times of the year. God gave us the sun for many reasons, one of which is that a beautiful, sunny day makes us feel good! Now that the seasons are changing, it's easier to notice how darkness has crept into our mornings. Those of you who see me greeting you at the door in the morning maybe have noticed that I don't have to squint into the sun quite as much, and no, it's not because I finally remembered to wear my sunglasses. With the sun rising later and later every day, those who are affected by SAD may start to feel a little l

"Are we there yet?" "Are we close?" Or, if you happen to be a child of the principal and on your way to a family birthday party this past weekend, "Are we even halfway there yet?" I know that you've all heard kids say phrases like these before. Did you ever stop to wonder why? As I sat in the driver's seat of my minivan on Saturday, yelling, "No, not even close!" for the fifth time, I realized something. My kids were asking that question over and over because they were worried. We were going to their cousins' house for a birthday party, and they were worried they would miss out on something because of the 90-minute drive. After I told them that the party didn't even officially start until 4:00 (it was 11:15 when the questions started), they stopped asking and relaxed. Do you ever worry about missing out on something? I think that's an easy question to answer. People are constantly worried about how they use their time, not hav

Good morning everyone; what a blessing to have another week in God's grace with you! Normally, Mondays are a bit sluggish at school; everyone is tired from all the fun they had over the weekend. Perhaps students and teachers did not get as much rest as they were hoping! Today, however, I am excited! This week I will be observing in your children's classrooms for the first time this school year. I love seeing our teachers at work! Studies have shown for years that general praise, i.e., "Good job," or, " "Way to go," is ineffective at motivating people. Up until now, I have only been able to give general praise to our teachers; I have not really had the opportunity to see them teach a whole lesson, or observe how they manage their classrooms. After today, I will be able to give teachers much more effective specific praise, like, "I saw you did ______ in your lesson today; that really helped the student you were working with!" Classroom observati

This past weekend Emanuel Church kicked off a campaign called "Forward" which celebrates our sanctuary's 100th anniversary with exciting plans to renovate and restore our church facilities.   We invite your family to join us in worship to learn more! In the month of October, our worship will focus on God's truths for us as we learn about this ministry opportunity. Q & A sessions with church leaders will be offered at 9:15am Sundays between services, with childcare provided. Check out this video  to see the exciting things ahead for our church as we go FORWARD together... ...For the Glory of God  ...For Generations to Come  ...For the Community We Serve "This is the goal we are laboring to reach, striving with Christ's strength, which is so powerfully at work in us." (Colossians 1:29)

Welcome to another week in God's grace at Emanuel! Can you believe it's October already? Time flies when you're having fun (and when you're working hard, too; just ask your children!). October is a busy month at your school. Classroom church singing begins, sports seasons are at their height, FVL band is ramping up, teachers and students are well into their classroom routines, and I have the privilege of beginning my classroom observations. Also taking into account the heightened awareness of staff and student health, a hugely important capital campaign beginning for our church, and big changes in the weather on the horizon, we have a lot vying for our attention! Don't let it all get you distracted from what really matters. In Hebrews 12:1-2, the apostle Paul tells us, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race ma
