What First Immanuel Means to Me 

By: Luke Kimps 

First Immanuel is a great school. I have been going there since I was two and three years old. I have been here my whole life basically. The reason I come here is that there is great education and it teaches me about God. The reason I don’t go to any other schools is because I have great people and friends and teachers surrounding me every day with kindness. 

The first reason why First Immanuel Lutheran school is the best is because the school has great education. I have learned so much over the years. I’m so much smarter than I was before the year started. I have improved on a lot of things, like math and reading. I was terrible at reading in third grade, but now I am really good at it. Like in third grade I was reading 100-150 page books but now I’m 250-300 page books. 

I love sports and FIL has so many sports, like basketball, which is one of my favorite sports. We also have boys and girls volleyball. My hobby is to run and FIL has two sports that involve running, like track and cross country. I ran cross country this year and it was so fun. I have been doing this for a long time and I love it because I always get first or second place. 

The thing I want to say about FIL is that I love learning new things about Jesus and God and how he saved us and how he died for us on the cross. The school revolves around God because we do so much like National Lutheran Schools week or that every Tuesday and Thursday I do a memory verse and religion packs every week. 

I love FIL so much. There is no other place I would go. Hope you take my message as a learning statement and what I think about this wonderful school. FIL is great because we learn about Jesus, we have a great education, and there are so many sports to play.

First Immanuel is a great school. I have been going to this school since Kindergarten. FIL provides a great education, it teaches you about our Heavenly Father, and it has amazing field trips! 

FIL keeps you going strong educationally. FIL teaches you about the main things you  need to know in life for your jobs. It teaches you about a bunch of ways to divide, multiply, and more in math. In reading, you get taught how to read, spell tricky words, and even sign language in Kindergarten. You learn many other things too! 

FIL teaches you about our God in Heaven who died for us. We have religion every day and on Fridays we have Chapel. Sometimes, different classes get to lead the chapel! Parents and family members can come to chapel too. FIL also has a church for anyone to go to. Sometimes we get to do special events with our chapel family (the people we sit by in our pews). 

We go on great field trips here at FIL. Last year, I went to Pioneer Village and went caving. This year, I went to JA Biztown, Old Town Wisconsin, and a Brewers game. They were probably the best field trips I have ever gone on! The field trips here are things that I would have never thought of! 

FIL is the best school in my opinion. I am so glad that my parents moved me to FIL from my old school! I have had a way better experience than I did at my old school! I hope you have a great school year here at FIL!

First Immanuel is a great school. I have been going to First Immanuel since I was two years old. First Immanuel is great because we get to learn all about God, there are lots of sports to play, and we have Wildcat Warehouse. 

There are many different sports you can play at First Immanuel, like cross country, basketball, track, and volleyball. I run in cross country and it is great. The coach is nice. Basketball is great too because the coaches are always nice. Everybody also gets equal playing time. Track is great if you like running and competing in competitions. Well hope you enjoy all the sports you can play. 

Another good thing about First Immanuel is that there is a thing called the Wildcat Warehouse which is something where you can buy toys or squishes. The least expensive thing is 25 cents and the most expensive thing is 5$. It is great to get toys to 

fidget with and you play with them during the day. You get to keep them forever too. I love to buy things from there, they are great. 

You get to learn about God too. God is great. You get to learn all about him and do fun activities too. We have a church too and we have great pastors. You get to lead a chapel. It is very fun. You talk about God and tell a fun message about God too. 

First Immanuel is a great school because there are many different sports, there is a Wildcat Wearhouse and you get to learn about God. Now you can come to First Immanuel. It is a great school.

First Imanuel is a great school. I have been going to this school since kindergarten. It teaches me many things, like math, reading, and God. 

I learn about math and reading a lot. Math goes on for an hour and the same for reading. I love reading books and doing Lexia. Lexia is a learning app we do in school. In math we are learning about fractions and I love them a lot. 

I have friends here at FIL. I play football outside with them. We also have a playground outside. There are so many things you can do during recess. I like PE. We play fun games like monarch, soccer, basketball, and football. I love FIL. There are so many things here to do. 

I learn about God all the time here. We go to Chapel and learn how Jesus saved us all from sin. We also have religion here at FIL. We do an app called Bible Replay. It has songs, verses, quizzes, and you can also count how many points you have on the app. 

I have so many friends here. I love this school so much. It is so fun here. It is the best school I have been to. I hope you have learned a lot about First Immanuel Lutheran school.

First Immanuel is a school. I have been going to First Immanuel since I was five years old. First Immanuel is great because I love all of the amazing people that go to it and that teach at it and I love that it teaches about Jesus Christ and how he died for us to take away all of the world's sins and allow us to go to Heaven if we believe in Him. 

First Immanuel is a great school because of how they have sports like basketball that I attended and it was amazing. I had so much fun at it playing and winning games and that season we only lost 1 game. It was the funnest sports season I ever played. I play lots of different sports seasons in my life but this was the funnest I ever had at a sports season. My favorite part was my amazing coach that made everything so fun. 

Another reason why FIL is the best school is because of how we have specials like P.E. where we can get energy out and the teacher is so nice and kind to all of us. Another speciality is music where we play games, learn how to play instruments like the recorder and the teacher is so funny and is slow to anger. Library is so nice because we can chill out and have somebody read a book to us and some days we get to sit on comfortable pillows. 

Finally FIL is the best school because it teaches us about God during religion and chapel. I am so thankful that my parents brought me to this school so I can learn about God. Now I know that we will always be forgiven by God and have eternal life in Heaven with him. I can talk with my pastor at First Immanuel to expand my knowledge about God. I am so thankful that I go to FIL and I can learn about Jesus Christ. 

As you can see, First Immanuel is a great place because it does specials like P.E., music, and library. It also teaches good sportsmanship during sports like basketball where everybody has so much fun playing with each other, winning games and growing from mistakes when we lose some games and then coming back stronger. My favorite part of FIL is how it teaches everybody about God. I hope after reading this you now know how great FIL is now.

First Immanuel is a great school. I have been going to First Immanuel since I was three years old. I have made lifelong friends. This school is the reason I met my two best friends. I will always be thankful for every one here who has helped me grow so much.  

First Immanuel is a great school because the teachers can be so funny. An example is that they pranked us on April Fool's and because they told us there was a flooding drill we had to swim on our desks. Then we pranked our teacher back at the end of the day during computers. The teachers are really nice. 

There are so many activities you can do at First Immanuel, like basketball, Poms, track, volleyball and girl scouts, which I do. You can make a bunch of friends. I have done poms and track too. It is all so fun it gives you a lot of experiences with teamwork.  

We also have a great church. We have a chapel every Friday and each class gets to lead chapel during the week. We practice during religion. If it is our week to lead a chapel it can be so fun. I personally love religion. It is the best class. 

As a conclusion you can see, First Immanuel is a great place because it helps so many people and has really nice teachers and students and there are lots of things to do here.

I will give you so many reasons why First Immanuel is the best. Here are just three. They have a good lunch. They have a good church. They have a good library. 

They do lunch well. They have the Peanut table for kids who have nut allergies, like me. They give good food. For example, they give pizza on Wednesdays, which I heard is good. And they give us a fair amount of time it is 25 minutes. 

They have a great church. Everyone should come to the church of FIL. They do great plays like the Christmas one. And the singing people are good at music. They do a lot of donating. They do good at teaching us about God. 

They have a good library. There are good books, like Dog Man, Big Nate, and many more. They have a great teacher. She is so nice. She allows us to pick two books. And she reads good books. 

So now you will come to FIL. I hope so. And in conclusion, FIL is the best school of all time because of the lunch choices, the church, and the books in the Library.

First Immanuel is the best school ever! I have been going here since 3k. It is a great experience at FIL. It is the best. 

First Immanuel is great because you can learn plenty of things and it is also so fun. In math class I learned how to do long division and fractions. In science I learned about ecology and Energy and other cool things. My friends and I learn so many new things all the time and it is so fun. We learned about God all through the year and it was 

really fun. 

Another reason why FIL is the best is because there are so many sports that you can play, like basketball, cross country, track and field, and volleyball. You can sign up for all of them at different ages and it is a blast,and you can begin playing sports for FIL at age nine-ten. 

At FIL you can do so many fun things, like go on field trips, JA biztown ( a really fun field trip). In gym class there are different units like soccer, basketball, badminton and a lot more and my favorite unit is basketball. On one field trip we get to go to a Brewers game and do math there. You can do so many fun things and it is so fun. 

As you can see First Immanuel is a great school because you learn so many things. This school is a blast. This will be your best school year ever.

First Immanuel Is such a good school because you can learn so many things. I have been going to First Immanuel since I was in 3k. I love the school so much because you have some field trips that are fun. We have amazing subjects and awesome sports at FIL. 

FIL is so amazing because you get to learn about God. We have a religion class and we do a lot of fun things. We memorize and we take a test on Bible verses. Another thing that we do in school is math. I think it is my least favorite subject, but it is still good. We are doing fractions and decimals and they are amazing and so fun. My favorite subject is reading because I love doing my book report and love reading my book. 

FIL has so many things you can do like poms and basketball. Those are some of the sports that we have at FIL. They are all so fun and amazing. A lot of people do them. I did poms when I was in third grade and it was so fun. You got to perform at pep rallies in front of the whole school. It was embarrassing, but it was still fun because I got to be with my friends and my third grade teacher. I played basketball with my friend. It was so fun and we won almost all of our games. 

Here at First Immanuel we have awesome field trips. This year we are going to Old Town Wisconsin, a Brewers game, JA BizTown, and lumberjack day. We went to JA BizTown and it was so fun. I worked at Harley Davidson. I was a marketing manager. I designed billboards and the new sign. It was so fun. 

As you can see FIL is so amazing. I love it so much because it is a Christian school and you get to learn about God. Also, we have so many good subjects and good field trips. I'm so thankful my parents moved me here in 3k.

First Immanuel is a great school. I have been here since 2k. First Immanuel is the best because there are great people, there are fun things to learn, and you get to talk about God. 

First Immanuel has lots of things you can do at recess. You can hang out and talk or you can play games, like four square. Also First Immanuel has fun field trips, like Pioneer Village and caving, but those are for 3ed grade. On holidays you do fun stuff. On April Fool's Day we got to swim on the tables for a prank from our teacher. On Valentine's Day you get to exchange gifts. On Christmas you get to have a party. 

First Immanuel has a chapel every Friday and it is a lot of fun. Sometimes your class gets to lead a chapel. You get to learn about God and his creation. It is about one hour long. Sometimes you get to be a volunteer and go up and do stuff. 

All of the teachers are really nice so it doesn't mader what teacher you get because they are so nice and you can ask for help when you need help. There are many teachers that are so kind and take it step by step with you. You can go to the student success room with Miss. Degut during recess. 

As you can see, First Imanual is a great place to go to school because you get a good education. It has many many classes. You get a good time for lunch and you get two recesses. And there are 12 grades and 24 classes. Sometimes on holidays you get to do a party but middle school does not do it. There are many after school activities like poms, track, basketball, aftercare, and volleyball.

I have been at First Immanuel since 2nd grade. I am thankful that my parents moved me here. Here are some reasons why I am thankful. Great sports, fun field trips, and the teachers are nice. 

First Immanuel is great because we always have great field trips. In 4th grade you go to watch a real Brewers game. You get to go caving in 3rd grade.  

FIL is great because there is a wildcat wearhouse where you can buy homework passes, candy, fidgets, pencil toppers, squishies, stuffed animals, sharpeners, hats, and t-shirts.  

The teachers are nice, kind, unpredictable in a good way, and always helpful. They never yell or shout. If we are stuck on something they always help. On April Fools Day they made us practice a flood drill and swim on our table.  

First Immanuel is a great school because there are great field trips, the teachers are very nice, and there is a wildcat warehouse. Everyone is very nice. I hope you come.

First Immanuel is a great school. I have been coming here since 2K. First Immanuel is great because we have music club, wildcat warehouse, and we learn about God. 

First Immanuel is a great school because we learn about God. We have chapel on Fridays, religion and devotions on Mondays-Thursdays, and we do prayer requests. 

Another reason why First Immanuel is a great school is because on every Wednesday, we have a wildcat warehouse. There, we can buy things from $0.25 to $10 to support FIL. 

Finally, First Immanuel is a great school because we have music club. In music club, we play songs on the xylophones, have a snack break, and have free instrument time. 

As you can see, First Immanuel is a great place because we have music club, wildcat warehouse, and we learn about God.

First Immanuel is the best school ever. I have been going to this school since I was in 4k. First Immanuel is the best because you can play sports, there are good specials, and you get to learn about God. 

I like this school because I get to do basketball and cross country. Some schools cannot do cross country, so I think I am pretty lucky. You can play basketball, cross country, volleyball, poms and wrestling. Don’t those sound fun? 

There are fun specials like PE, Music, Computers, Art, Library. I like Art and PE. Those are my favorite of all of them. In PE we get to play this game called Monarch. It is so fun.. In Art we make things, like clay stuff, color, draw and sometimes paint. It is one of my favorite classes. 

I also go to chapel on Fridays. Sometimes classes get to help lead it.. In religion we get to do songs and we also write in the binder that we have for some pages of work we can do. To get to lead a chapel you get to make up your own stuff you want to do and it is so fun. It is so fun to learn about God. 

I love all the things we can do like specials, Sports, and all the learning about God. I am so glad I go to First Immanuel Lutheran School.
