🌟 Meet Miss Z! 🌟
We are excited to welcome Jessica Zehendner to our Emmanuel-Faith teaching team! 🎉 Miss Z is beginning her first year in the classroom after graduating this May with a degree in Early Childhood Inclusive Education and earning her Lutheran Teaching Diploma. ✏️📚
A lifelong Lutheran school student herself, she attended Zion Lutheran in Worms, Zion in Kearney, and Heartland Lutheran High School. 🏫 She is eager to begin her journey as an educator—growing through every experience and sharing God’s Word with her students along the way. 🙌📖
Miss Z grew up on a farm in Pleasanton, Nebraska, where her love of family and teaching took root. 🐄🌾 Her mom and sister are both teachers; and her dad, a former teacher, now works on the family farm. 👨🏫👩🏫🚜 She has an older sister who lives in Gretna with her husband and son and a younger brother who is entering his senior year of high school.
Outside the classroom, Miss Z enjoys reading 📖, crafting 🎨, and spending time with loved ones ❤️—especially when it includes laughter and memory-making. 😄📸

🌟 Meet Mr. Howe! 🌟
We're thrilled to welcome Mr. Howe to our Emmanuel-Faith family as our new 4th grade teacher! 🎉🍎 This is his first year teaching, and he’s especially excited to be teaching at the very school he attended as a child. 🏫💙
Jacob graduated from UNK with degrees in Elementary Education (K–6) and Special Education (K–12). 🎓📚 His path to the classroom includes experience as a substitute teacher at EF, as well as time spent in afterschool and summer programs in both York and Kearney. ☀️✏️ And teaching runs in the family—his mom taught 4th grade at EF from 2010–2012! 👩🏫
Family is very important to Mr. Howe. ❤️ Most of his family lives in York, and he’s the oldest of three brothers. 👦👦👦 His mom is an active member of #TeamEF too—serving as the school board president and as a sub. Coming back to York was an easy choice for someone so rooted in both family and faith. 🙏🏡
In his free time, he enjoys watching movies 🎬, solving puzzles 🧩, playing piano 🎹, and spending time with his family. 👨👩👦👦 We’re so excited to have Mr. Howe teaching and mentoring our 4th graders—join us in welcoming him to the team! 🎉✨
