🌟 Introducing Sandra Quiring! 🌟 👋 Let's give a warm round of applause to Sandra, our talented Music Teacher at Emmanuel-Faith! Since 2019, she has been nurturing musical talent in our students. 🎶🎹 What does Sandra love most about her role? It's the students and witnessing their musical progress that brings her the greatest joy. From their first notes to their grand performances, Sandra cherishes every step of their musical journey. Student success is measured by students' continued progress in learning more about the art of music and its importance in our lives, especially in worship. ✝️🎵 Beyond her role at Emmanuel-Faith, Sandra serves as a part-time organist at First United Methodist Church and piano accompanist for Chancel Choir at Bethesda Mennonite Church in Henderson. She also teaches private piano lessons to many young learners.  🎹🎶 In her family life, Sandra finds joy in spending time with her husband, three grown daughters, their spouses, and their wonderful grandchildren (with another on the way!). They cherish family time and love traveling, especially to visit relatives in Tennessee. 🏡✈️ Let's celebrate Sandra's passion for music and dedication to our students in the comments below! 💬🎉 #MeetOurTeam #MusicEducation #TeamEF
