June Volunteer Appreciation Time

Over 25 volunteers showed up on the morning of June 10 to receive thanks from the teachers and support staff. A red maple was dedicated in honour of their willingness to help at the school in a variety of ways.

This particular red maple was chosen since it decided to grow in an unusual place. It decided to grow under the eaves of a local house. It's a wonderful tree but it was not growing in a suitable place. It was transplanted so that it could be better appreciated for the shade and beauty that is embodies.

Volunteers are very much like this red maple. Volunteers have a heart for Immanuel and are willing to do many different tasks that makes learning more effective. However, if volunteers simply did what they wanted, when they wanted and where they wanted, things would not go very well. Through the direction of the staff at Immanuel the volunteers are placed where their help is very much appreciated. This way they can be appreciated for the heartfelt love they have for Immanuel Christian School.
