ILS Summer Book Recommendations

Happy Summer! We are already missing the joyful sounds of students filling the classrooms and hallways, but we do hope that students and families are able to enjoy a fun and restful summer break.

As it is throughout our school year together, we hope that reading continues to be a regular part of the summer routine and summer schole for both students and their families. Parents are welcome to join us in reading our Summer Book Club selection: Life Under Compulsion: ten ways to destroy the humanity of your child, by Anthony Esolen, and join us at one or more of our book club discussions.

Looking for some additions to your child’s summer reading (or your own)? We invited faculty and staff to pass along their suggestions for books for students and parents this summer.

Additionally, our ILS teachers have compiled a list of suggested readings for both Upper and Lower School students as a resource for families to help select books that students may enjoy, both reading books from their own grade level, or listening as parents read aloud from more challenging texts. Looking for even more recommendations? Check out a couple of our past summer reading blog posts filled with ideas and favorites from ILS faculty past and present!

What is on your own summer reading list? Are you checking out something new, or re-visiting an old favorite? Let us know in the comments!

In Your Own Words: ILS Impact

Especially in these challenging times, we remain deeply grateful for this special ILS community. We warmly invite you to participate in our ILS 2020 Auction - happening online now through May 8th.  Although we are socially distant, we remain together in Christ. This year, we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the founding of Immanuel Lutheran Church and School. Throughout our history, Immanuel has weathered formidable challenges, including world wars, global health pandemics and major societal changes and yet, through it all, Immanuel has not only survived, but by God's grace and the perseverance of its people. 

We wanted to continue to share some of the videos from our Immanuel community so you can hear from current students, current and former teachers, parents, and alumni about the impact of ILS and how your support makes a difference every day. Today, one of our current ILS parents shares some of what she loves most about ILS.
