up here, left when I was 17," she said. "Then I started working at Stanford Hospi- tal; been there for 20 years and I'm coming back. Still working for the hospital, but I'll be coming back and work- ing from home."
Debbie and her husband said they decided to enroll their children at Immanuel based on their religious
beliefs. "We wanted to keep them close to our beliefs," she said. "And coming from a big city to a smaller town, not so much that it's faith based over there in the Bay Area, but just bringing them back to their roots."
She also added that Reed- ley hasn't changed much since she's been gone and that is one thing she appreciates about this small town.
"It feels great to be back, I love the small country town, I love the streets, I love the smells here everything is basi-
vertise to come and see what Immanuel is all about."
Along with the tours, par- ents were able to attend a cha- pel service, attend a parent fo- rum, student panel and a live classroom experience, lunch was also provided for visitors.
"Campus Days are de- signed to give families that are interested in coming to Immanuel just an opportunity to experience what happens on a day to day basis here," said Ryan Wood, Superinten- dent of Immanuel Schools.
"From the chapel, we also talk about our academic pro- grams, athletic programs, we just give them a chance to ask questions and meet our kids and just to see what we're about."
I love
this town.
Thanks, Reedley.
I love being here to help
life go rightTM in a community where people are making a difference every day.
Thank you for all you do.
