Hello Emmanuel-Faith Families,
Last week, we sent home a letter inviting families to contribute items for the live and silent auctions at our upcoming Believe 2026 Fundraiser: An Evening in the Forest!
We hope you'll prayerfully consider how you or your students might contribute by creating or donating something to help make this year's fundraiser a success! Every contribution, big or small, helps support our school and its mission.
Auction donations are due Friday, November 6.
The letter also includes a QR code to purchase tickets for Believe! If you're ready to reserve your seats, you can scan the code or visit the ticket ordering link.
You can view the donation letter and information again here:

Thank you for the many ways you support Emmanuel-Faith! We appreciate your generosity and look forward to a wonderful evening together!
You're also invited to join us in person or online for 8th grade chapel this morning!
Thank you for helping us share God's love with children around the world!

Ms. Backhus is diving into Red Ribbon Week to remind us that a drug-free life leaves room for all kinds of fun, adventures, and hobbies… even the ones that require flippers and a basket! 😂
❤️ Make healthy choices. Stay drug-free. Find your own kind of fun!

Our Little Blessings Pre-K friends got their hands into some fall fun as they carved a pumpkin together! 🍂
From scooping out the gooey insides to discovering what's hiding inside a pumpkin, it was a fun, hands-on learning experience filled with curiosity, excitement, and maybe a few sticky fingers! 😂🎃
Sometimes the messiest moments make the best memories! 💛

Don't forget about Trunk or Treat today! 🍁🍂
Next week is our final week of collecting chapel offerings to help cover the shipping costs for our Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes!
In past years, our students have raised enough through chapel offerings to ship 20 or more boxes. So far this year, we've collected $88.19, enough to ship just 8 boxes. We'd love to see that number grow during our final week of giving! If every student brings just $2 to chapel next week, we could raise enough to ship 30 shoeboxes!
This year, instead of each classroom packing two shoeboxes, our students will participate in a school-wide Operation Christmas Child Packing Party during the week of November 9–13! Students will still have the opportunity to help pack shoeboxes and share God's love with children around the world.
Families are also encouraged to donate items to help fill the boxes. Please see the attached flyer for a list of needed items and additional details. Donations can be dropped off at the school or church office by Friday, November 6.
Thank you for helping our students make a difference through Operation Christmas Child!
❤️ RED RIBBON WEEK is coming! ❤️
Our Student Leadership Team has planned a fun week of dress-up days, October 26–30, to help us celebrate healthy choices and a drug-free future! 🙌
From wearing red and showing off your favorite sports gear to school spirit, future careers, and a cozy pajama day, there's something fun planned for every day of the week! 🎉
Check out the schedule below and get those outfits ready, Saints! We can't wait to see everyone participate! 💙

Our students had a blast inside the Battle Bus Arcade! They earned this exciting reward by reaching their $10,000 fundraising goal!
The kids had a great time rotating through classic arcade games, trying out the latest gaming consoles, and testing their luck at the claw machine!
We are so proud of our students and all their hard work during this fundraiser. What a fun way to celebrate their success!
