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,

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.

📚🍎 Tre had a memorable day as 8th Grade Teacher of the Day!
The class enjoyed a classic movie, learning the timeless lesson on the evils of creating dinosaurs—warning us all about hubris, chaos, and unexpected consequences. 🦖
Then, they pivoted to the noble art of playing with swim noodles as swords, proving that wisdom and fun can absolutely coexist.
Tre kept students engaged throughout the day and brought plenty of laughter. It was a great mix of learning and fun!

Third graders explored what makes plant cells unique and celebrated with a hands-on (and tasty) cell model.
Our 8th graders got hands-on in the lab this week as they filled balloons with distilled water, instant snow, and hand sanitizer to observe reactions and create their own squishy science experiments!
Learning is always more exciting when you can see (and squish!) the results. ❄️✨

IMPORTANT! Our Scholastic register is NOT easily taking cards! We will have to manually enter cards, so please be patient with our volunteers. We can also take cash, checks and e-Wallets. Those 3 options will be a little faster. There’s still time to set up an eWallet!
✨ Create your child’s eWallet here:

We can’t wait to see what new stories our students discover!

📚🍎 Kenna had a great day as 3rd Grade Teacher of the Day!
She started the day by taking attendance, marking lunches, and checking cursive. Kenna also led the class in their religion lesson, helped students work through social studies and reading rotations, and finished the day with highs and lows and devotions.
