🌟 Meet Kimberlee Tandy! 🌟
Let's give a warm welcome to Miss Kim, our new Music Teacher at Emmanuel-Faith! While she's stepping into this role for the first time, Kim has been a familiar face at Emmanuel since 2021, contributing in various ways.
What does she look forward to most about her position? "I get to make music with other humans!" she exclaims. For her, music is a powerful, wonderful gift from our Creator, and she delights in sharing this gift with others.
Kim's career path is as harmonious as her love for music. With a degree in music therapy, she brings a unique perspective to her role. She has worked as a music therapist in hospitals, clinics, schools, daycares, nursing homes, and mental health facilities. Through these experiences, she has used music to create bonds, happy memories, and tools for future enjoyment. 🎶❤️
Outside of her professional life, Kim enjoys life with her four wonderful kids, two of whom are E-FLS graduates and one who still attends. 👩👧👦
We're thrilled to have Kimberlee's passion and expertise enriching our community. Get ready for some beautiful melodies and joyful noises under her guidance! 🎼🌈
Let's give Kim a warm welcome in the comments below! 💬❤️ #MeetOurTeam #TeamEF #MusicEducation


Lunch will be provided!
Bring your suits, towels, sunscreen and be ready for adventure!
RSVP to 402-326-5591 (Kelli) or 402-366-4309 (Pastor Ben).


🌟 Meet Eleanor Clausing! 🌟
👋 Let’s welcome Miss Clausing, our new 2nd Grade Teacher at Emmanuel-Faith Lutheran School! She is joining us this August 2024. 🍎✏️
Although she is just joining the E-F community, she already loves how welcoming everyone is and how students get the chance to lead chapel. It's amazing to see young kids witness to their peers and teachers! 🌟💖
She recently graduated from Concordia University, Nebraska. Her parents are missionaries in Tanzania, and she spent her high school years overseas with them. 🌍✈️ Initially, she wasn't looking toward teaching, but through a series of open and closed doors, she discovered her passion for leading a classroom. 📚👩🏫
Eleanor finds joy in singing and playing music with her siblings, running, taking care of her houseplants, organizing, cleaning, and cooking (and eating!). 🎶🏃♀️🪴
We are excited to have Eleanor join our team and look forward to the positive impact she'll have on our students and community. Let's welcome Eleanor in the comments below!💬❤️ #MeetOurTeam #TeamEF
