POPULAR ACTIVITIES & CLUBS
Meadow Street Garden Club
Students at Immanuel Lutheran School have been getting their hands dirty and learning about God’s creation through gardening. The club maintains a garden at the corner of the gymnasium entrance and gardens throughout the church and school campus. Caterpillars are collected each fall from the gardens for classrooms to witness their amazing transformations and release into the garden. Vegetables grown in the garden are available to the neighborhood.
Cross Country
Students in grades 6-8 are able to participate in Cross Country at Immanuel Lutheran School. Students in grade 5 may practice with the team if they are able to keep up. Cross Country practices take place on the school grounds and at nearby Rockwell Park. Team members in grades 6-8 are able to participate in Cross Country meets and even the Connecticut State Meet if they qualify.
Basketball
Girls and Boys Basketball at Immanuel Lutheran School includes elementary (4-6) and middle school teams (6-8). Our 3rd graders are allowed to play if they are able to keep up with the older players. The middle school teams allow 5th graders to play up if they are able. Immanuel Lutheran plays other Christian schools in the area who play fair, and do not play over-age players. Because we do have a gym, the majority of our games are at home as many of our competitors do not have that luxury. Each game is preceded by prayer and a statement of good sportsmanship for players and spectators.
Golf
Students of all ages are able to participate on Immanuel’s Golf Team. Participants practice putting and chipping on school grounds. Trips to driving ranges and golf courses occur at the end of the season. Students become familiar with the integrity of the game, the rules and nuances of the game, and golf etiquette.
Private Music Lessons
Students are able to take private music lessons after school with our certified music teacher. Sessions are typically 30 minutes in length and are intended to help students progress in the instrument of their choice. Voice is also considered an instrument. Many students sign up for private voice lessons as well.
