After some rainy wet weather, our construction team has been very grateful for the beautiful, sunny fall days so that work can continue on our building (without all that mud!). Lots has been happening both outside the school building, as well as interior work on the kitchen. Enjoy the latest photos!
Our inaugural soccer season is in full swing! Both our 5/6 and 7/8 teams have played their first games, and our teams are doing an excellent job in this first year of ILS competition in the ABC league.
We have a few more games to go this season. Come on out and cheer on our ILS teams!
Get to know the men and women who serve on our School Board! Our school board members are also participating in our Six Questions Series, sharing their responses to help you get to know them a bit better and recognize them as you see them around campus and at school and community events throughout the year.
Today's blog features Board member Mr. Chris Mulder, father to two current ILS students, who currently serves as board secretary. We hope you enjoy our latest profile!
As we kick off a new week, our latest Six Questions Series features Miss Molly Leithart, our fourth grade teacher here at Immanuel . Every week, we hope that this feature gives you a quick opportunity to get to better know the outstanding teachers, faculty, and board members who serve our students, families and community.
Whether you're meeting them for the first time, or have known them for years, we hope you enjoy these features and that you'll say hi as you see each of these teachers around campus!
It was one of the first rainy weeks since our construction began earlier this summer (thankfully!!), but fortunately it didn't slow things down too much. On Wednesday, the crews were up on the the roof of our building early in the morning putting up a giant tarp to protect the work area from the worst of the rain. Additionally, work began this week removing bricks from the outer wall of the undercroft (beside the kitchen) as they get ready to expand that space and add additional bathrooms!
Just 12 weeks into our building project, and so much has changed on campus! Where there was once a hill, the framing for new walls is growing daily for the additional 4 classroom spaces. The interior of the office and former Jr. Kindergarten classroom are now being reinforced as our construction team plans to build up, adding a second story to that half of the building. It is exciting for everyone to get to watch the space transforming before our eyes!
Each week on the blog, our Six Questions Series introduces you to one of our wonderful faculty members. Whether you've known some of our teachers for years, or are meeting some of them for the first time, we hope this feature provides a fun opportunity to learn more about the talented and caring faculty faithfully serving our students and our families each and every day. As you see each of these teachers around campus throughout the year, please be sure to say hello!
Today's blog features Mrs. Jenny Schmick, our excellent Assistant Teacher working with our youngest students in our Jr. Kindergarten class. Enjoy!
We've had a great second week of school, and several days of nice fall-like weather has been great for our construction crews as they continue to make great progress on our project. The week started with the beginnings of the foundation for the addition, and in no time at all, the starts of walls were in place. It is great fun to watch the transformation happening each and every day!
This week, our Kindergarten students made and delivered cards to thank the team from Chamberlain Construction for their hard work building our new school. The full construction team, including our architects from Rust Orling, came for a walk-through to see all the exciting progress as well.
We are thrilled to announce that ILS will be fielding two co-ed soccer teams this fall! Under the leadership of Coach Schultz and Coach Able, our 5/6 team and 7/8 team had their first practice yesterday afternoon as they prepare for the new season.
Mark your calendars for these upcoming games and come out to cheer on and support our ILS teams!
Our Six Questions Series provides each of our ILS faculty members the opportunity to introduce themselves to our community. We hope you enjoy this feature as a chance to get to know your favorite teachers better, as well as learn more about the other talented and dedicated faculty serving our students and our families. Be sure to say hi as you see each of these teachers around campus!
Today's blog features Miss Carissa Davis, one of our excellent Upper School teachers. Enjoy!
