Enrolling Soon!
We are very excited to announce that we will be offering online application and enrollment for the 18-19 school year. Along with that will come a switch to FACTS/Renweb tuition assistance and FACTS tuition management. You will be able to pay all tuition and fees online including lunch, athletic and other fees online on any device.
Because of this significant change, we need to move current family enrollment to mid-April and new families will be able to apply and enroll two weeks after that. The enrollment deadline for current families is May 30th.
If you want more information, please contact Axel Gruen at 260-639-0123 or email to principal@stjohn-emmanuel.com.

There is Still Time to Donate to SGO
I submitted our applications for the March 15th deadline. We are still able to receive funds. As of this newsletter we only need about $2100 to fully fund our SGO's for this school year. If you haven't given yet, now is the perfect time. Please consider helping a student and their family.
If you do not know what an SGO is, it is a scholarship fund solely dependent on individuals, businesses and farmers who donate to the fund and direct it to the school(s) of their choice. Donors receive a 50% Indiana state income tax credit and if the donation is larger than your tax in a given year, you can roll it over for up to 9 years. This year the tax credits were increased from $9 million to $12.5 million.
There are so many way to give. Make sure you take advantage of your opportunity to receive not only a tax credit but a great feeling that your gift helps students continue to receive a Christian education.
Please tell others about this great opportunity and consider giving yourself. Go to www.lutheransgo,org to find out more and donate to SJE.
SJE Endowment
The SJE endowment fund has been around for some time. It is finally at a point that the school can begin using it. That means more now than ever before. contributions made to this fund, make a difference. Also, at the beginning of this school year, the Lutheran Foundation ties grant funds the school receives to donations made to our endowment. In other words, every dollar donated to the SJE endowment is, one, matched into our endowment and, second is a dollar available for the school via the day school grant. In the past that amount has averaged $23,000 each school year. The funds were used for technology upgrades as well as any other classroom or school needs.
This grant, and the endowment fund have become very valuable to the school. So, please consider giving to our endowment fund so that the school has money to apply for to be used in an upcoming school year and long term from our endowment fund. If you have any questions about the endowment, please contact Axel Gruen in the school office at 260-639-0123 or email to principal@stjohn-emmanuel.com.
