Team 8B

Our Serve-A-Thon typically is held during the month of October but this year we delayed this important event due to the pandemic. As restrictions have lessened, our students have used these past few months to discover creative opportunities to serve individually, in small groups and as a class. Our May Serve-A-Thon is a capstone celebration of the service that our students have participated in these past few months. Some of the ways our students have served are:

  • Partnering with Assist Pregnancy by coordinating and assembling mailings and preparing baby bottles for Assist fundraising events.
  • Serving with McLean Access Ministry by spending quality time with special needs children through reading, playing games, and enjoying fellowship.
  • Serving IBC families and individuals who are currently in vulnerable situations by helping with small household chores and/or yard projects seasonally.
  • Coordinating Food and Clothing Drives to support the most vulnerable during the holiday season.
  • Encouraging and supporting local area fire departments and police officers who serve so faithfully.
  • Championing seniors and military personnel during the holiday season through handwritten letters.
  • Cleaning Fairfax County parks
  • Serving at the Capital Area Food Bank

NEW this year! We will use some of the funds donated during Serve-A-Thon to create baskets with needed resources for Assist Pregnancy Center (baby items), Central Union Mission (personal items) and the Capital Area Food Bank (cereal and peanut butter). In addition, every student in K-8th grades will write a personal note expressing their appreication to those who worked tirelessly to serve others in our communities. These frontline workers have been faithful throughout this difficult year and we wish to acknowledge their example. We will encourage delivery personnel, postal workers, grocery store employees, trash collection team members, restaurant personnel, and health care workers with these notes from our students and express our appreciation for their example.

 

We need your support! You can help us improve our community while impacting the lives of our students by supporting our efforts. Every dollar you give will be a true investment in the lives of our students and in the mission of our school. Our goal is to raise $45,000 as as school and each class has a goal of raising $2,250. It's a BIG goal but we know with your help and the help of countless others that we can meet, and even exceed, our goal! If we raise more than our goal we will use the additional funds to purchase a 15-passenger van to use for field trips and to shuttle athletes to practices and games. 

 

Will you help us reach our goal? You can encourage our students by sponsoring them from May 3 to May 17 and help us raise our needed funds. All funds raised go to our general Partnership Fund and will benefit our programs where needed most. Immanuel Christian School is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and donations are tax deductible.

Thank you for joining in partnership with us as we inspire students for purposeful lives of learning, godliness, and service.
