From beloved classics to modern favorites, our students brought their favorite stories into the hallways on Friday.
When children connect with characters, they connect with reading — and that’s when literacy really takes root.
“You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.” — Dr. Seuss
What a joyful way to celebrate a week full of reading!
#ReadAcrossAmerica #TeamEF
Pajamas + books = a perfect combination.
Thursday we slowed down, got comfortable, and remembered that reading isn’t just something we do at school — it’s something we can enjoy anywhere.
“There is no friend as loyal as a book.”
Because sometimes the best adventures happen under a blanket with a great story.

Yesterday's hallway showdown featured a classic face-off — Batman vs. Superman — but we all know the real superpower is literacy.
Books build imagination.
Stories grow empathy.
Reading strengthens minds.
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” — Dr. Seuss
Now that’s heroic. 💥
#ReadAcrossAmerica #TeamEF
We kicked off Read Across America Week by getting a little silly! From crazy hats to wacky socks, our students and teachers showed that reading doesn’t always have to be serious to be meaningful.
“Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.” — Dr. Seuss
Because sometimes the best way to grow as a reader… is to laugh along the way.

Thank you to the families who made it a priority to bring them and to our congregation for the continued love and support you show our school.

She kicked things off by working on rhythm and drumming with our youngest students. Third and fourth graders enjoyed recorder time and wrapped up class with some parachute fun. Older students continued their guitar lessons and finished with several rounds of the cup game — a brand-new experience for Kenna!
Thank you to the Sorgenfrei family for supporting our school through the Believe Fundraiser and making this musical day possible! 💙

🔬 Science Fair Volunteers Needed! 🔬
Our annual York Science Fair is coming up on Tuesday, March 10 at the York City Auditorium, and we need community volunteers!
York Elementary School, Emmanuel-Faith Lutheran School, and St. Joseph Catholic School are once again teaming up for this community-wide event. Kindergarten–5th grade students are hard at work preparing their projects — and we’d love your help encouraging them.
Good news:
✔ You do not need to be a scientist
✔ You will not be judging projects
✔ You simply spend 10–15 minutes visiting with 2–3 students about their work and writing a few encouraging comments
If you have an interest in science, engineering, technology — or simply enjoy supporting students as they explore and discover — this is a wonderful way to be involved.
📱 Scan the QR code in this post to see full details and sign up.

We truly cannot host this event without volunteers. Please consider signing up — and feel free to share this post with others in the York area who may be interested in helping!
Thank you for supporting our young scientists!
Many of you are aware that in early January, 5-month-old Blair Mosel was life-flighted to Children’s Hospital in Omaha after being diagnosed with meningitis. Blair fought through a very critical illness and, by God’s grace, is now back home continuing her recovery.
Blair’s big sister, Reese, is a kindergartener here at Emmanuel-Faith, and we are grateful to continue surrounding their family with prayer and support.
Our community is organizing a free-will donation meal and silent auction to support Blake, Nicolle, and their family during this time.
📅 Event details and updates (including silent auction items) can be found here:

If you are interested in sponsoring or donating to the event, please contact Miranda Cebula or Abby Scheele.
In addition, “Brave Like Blair” t-shirts are available to order through February 28. Orders will be ready by March 20.

We are thankful to be part of a community that comes together in love and generosity during difficult times. Please continue to keep the Mosel family in your prayers.
In Christ,
Krista Branz

Last week, our 4th graders welcomed 4-H for three hands-on lessons in Egg-streme Engineering. Students designed and built egg helmets, tested different materials, and put their creativity to the ultimate challenge…Presenting their helmet designs Shark Tank–style to our 8th graders!
So much fun, problem-solving, and teamwork all in one egg-citing week.
