🥶 Cold Weather Reminder!
K–8 students will go outside for recess unless the “Real Feel” temperature is 0°F or below or it’s raining more than a light sprinkle.
Please send your child with weather-appropriate outerwear so they can stay warm and enjoy outdoor playtime!

At 40°F or below, students should have a heavy winter coat.
When snow is on the ground, they’ll need a coat, hat, gloves, snow pants, and boots to play outside.

If your family needs help with winter gear, we have new and gently used options available in the school office — we’d love to help a family in need. 💙 #TeamEF

Join us in person or online as the 8th graders lead us in chapel this morning. Our chapel offerings are being designated to Operation Christmas Child. We have enough to send 15 of our 20 boxes so far!

Retake Picture Day is coming up on:

Tuesday, Nov 4 from 9:30-10:30 am in the Emmanuel Fellowship Hall at 806 N Beaver Ave.

If you're satisfied with your child's picture, no further action is required.

 If you purchased and were unhappy with your Picture Package, please send your Picture Package to school with your student on Retake Day. Your Retake Picture Package will be produced and shipped to the school four weeks after Retake Day. Please note, if your child is photographed on the original and Retake Picture Days, the Retake picture will replace the original picture in certain products, like the yearbook.

 Students who were absent for Picture Day should come to school prepared to have their picture taken. If you have not preordered, please use the Retake Order Code 0097TKF to place your order at https://inter-state.com/Order. To see your Order History, check your Inter-State Account.

💵 Congratulations to our PTL Dollar Fundraiser winners — Remi, Josiah, Macy and Elijah! Each was randomly drawn from their grade-level group (Preschool, K–2, 3–5, and 6–8) and chose a $50 bill as their prize — smart choice! 😄💸

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this fundraiser such a success; we surpassed our goal! #TeamEF

☀️ This morning in chapel, we welcomed Pastor Schulz from Mission Central! He shared about our new missionary family, Daniel and Marie Lowitz, who will serve in the Dominican Republic.

We’re grateful for the chance to learn more about their mission and to lift them up in prayer as they prepare to share the love of Christ around the world. 🌎🙏

Thank you, Pastor Schulz, for visiting and inspiring us with the beautiful work happening through Mission Central! #TeamEF

🙌 Skip the cooking tonight — it’s Arby’s Night! Eat at York Arby’s between 4–8pm, tell the cashier “Emmanuel-Faith benefit night”, and Arby’s will donate 20% back to us.

🌟 Meet Nick Bethune! 🌟
We’re happy to introduce Nick Bethune, who has joined our Emmanuel-Faith team to help care for our school and church facilities. Nick began working with us over the summer and is now serving full-time as Jessica recovers from surgery. 🧹🏫
Nick brings a cheerful spirit and genuine care for others to his work each day. He enjoys being part of our school family—especially getting to know the students and helping out wherever he’s needed. 💛

Nick lives with his mom and dad, Jacque and Paul, who are active members at Emmanuel Lutheran Church.

Please join us in welcoming and thanking Nick for the many ways he helps keep our school shining! 🌟 TeamEF
