No school Friday, March 26, 2027 — Good Friday.
Spring Break follows immediately, March 29 through April 2, so students are out for a week and a half. Classes resume Monday, April 5.
Good Friday is not a day off in the ordinary sense, and it is worth telling your children why the school closes for it. It is the day the Church remembers the crucifixion of Jesus Christ — the death that paid for the sin of the world. In a Lutheran school this is not one lesson among many; it is the center of everything else we teach. That is why the building is dark and the church is not.
Immanuel Lutheran Church holds services through Holy Week, and every MLS family is welcome at all of them. Times are posted on the Holy Week page at immanueljoplin.com.
