Good morning!

A familiar verse came to mind this morning and I would like to share it with you. “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) This subtle reminder is powerful for all of us. My prayer is that we all rely on His power and not dwell in our weakened state.

Even though the weather today feels a little more like April, it is already May 8, and more importantly for our students and families is that we only have ONE MORE WEEK!

I want to give a special shout out to all the moms out there: Happy Mothers Day!. You are appreciated, valued and loved.

I am excited that we are nearing the end of this remote learning endeavor as we get ready to take our summer break. This communication is longer than I would like but I want to make sure you have the information as we move into the end of the 2019/20 school year.

Hello ECA Families,

I am praying for every one of your families as we go through this time of uncertainty. Hopefully, everyone can stay busy and can spend time with your families. We have hope in a God that is bigger than we can ever imagine. As we keep our focus on Him, He will give us peace and joy. (Romans 15:13)

Dear Emmanuel Family.

Governor Mike DeWine’s Monday announcement evoked a range of thoughts and emotions for me. We now know that we will finish the school year with distance learning. I almost instantly said to myself, “Well, that is one less uncertainty”. Then as he talked about the rest of 2020, I realized that there are many more “uncertainties” to manage.

Dear Emmanuel Families,

I hope that each of you had an opportunity to celebrate the Risen Savior yesterday. Although today is a scheduled day off for our teachers and staff, I assure you that we are preparing for this week next week of remote learning.
