🌟 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

🌟Meet Karyn Backhus🌟 👩‍🏫 New to Emmanuel-Faith this year, Ms. Backhus brings her vibrant energy to our 6th grade class! It's her first year here, and she's already making waves! 🌊 What does she love most? The students! 😄🎉 6th graders are fun, hilarious, adventurous, and inquisitive. Every day is a chance to share faith while learning and growing together. 📚🙏 Her journey to Emmanuel-Faith has been filled with twists and turns. After graduating from Concordia, Karyn directed preschool at St. Paul’s in Utica then embraced the role of a stay-at-home mom for 5 years before a short time at DHHS. When God nudged her heart again, she knew it was time to return to the classroom. And here she is, making a difference in the lives of our students; right where she is meant to be! 🌈 Karyn is blessed with four children. Timothy is headed off to the Marine Corps this year, Daniel is 16, James is 11, and Abigail is 8. They live on an acreage with goats, chickens, dogs, and cats…and soon, honey bees! 🐐🐓🐶🐱🍯 Let's help Karyn feel welcome and appreciated as she wraps up her first year at Emmanuel-Faith in the comments below! 💬 👏 #MeetOurTeam #TeamEF #TeacherLife

🌟Meet Jessi Pope🌟 Say hi to Ms. Pope, our vibrant Kindergarten Teacher at Emmanuel-Faith! 🍎 Jessi joined our team in August 2024 and brings a passion for teaching about Jesus every single day. 🌟 What does Jessi love most about her role? It's the opportunity to instill a love for Jesus in her young students' hearts and minds. 📚💕 In her free time, Jessi finds joy in traveling the world and exploring new places. 🌍✈️ Whether it's discovering hidden gems or immersing herself in different cultures, she's always up for an adventure! Let's give a warm welcome to Jessi and appreciate her dedication to shaping young minds as she finishes her first year at Emmanuel-Faith in the comments below! 💬 👏 #MeetOurStaff #KindergartenTeacher #TeamEF
