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!

📚🍎 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.

We’re so happy to welcome Miss Katee Korte to our Emmanuel-Faith family as our 1st grade student teacher from Concordia University, Seward! 🎉 She will be with us through early March, learning and growing alongside our students and staff.
Miss Korte began her college journey at Central Community College in Columbus, where she earned her Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education 📚🍎. She then transferred to Concordia to continue pursuing her bachelor’s degree.
Having grown up in a Lutheran school, she has always had a passion for Lutheran education and teaching young children ✝️❤️. She feels truly blessed to be serving here at Emmanuel-Faith!
Miss Korte lives on a farm north of Columbus 🚜🌾 with her family. Her parents work on their family farm, and she has an older sister and a younger brother who keep life busy and fun.
In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends 👨👩👧👦, bingeing a good TV show 📺, and curling up with a great book 📖✨.
We’re excited to have Miss Korte in our classrooms and thankful for the time she will spend in our school community. Please join us in welcoming her to #TeamEF! 💙🎉
From preschool through 8th grade, students enjoyed a calm and cozy afternoon with movies and popcorn in their classrooms last week. A peaceful way to end a fun and busy National Lutheran Schools Week! #NLSW2026 #MakeAJoyfulNoise #TeamEF #CozyDay
It was a joy to meet these future kindergarten students and share what makes our school such a special place to learn and grow.
If you weren’t able to attend, there’s still time to schedule a personal tour — we’d love to meet you and answer any questions!

This afternoon, a group of determined students (also known as our 6th–8th graders) launched an official campaign today advocating for No School Monday if the Patriots win the Super Bowl. 🏈😄
📍 Location: the parking lot
📣 Audience: Mr. Wellmann (called outside for an official response!)
🪧 Signs: handmade and persuasive
🏈 Energy: extremely high
Students could even be heard chanting:
“1-2-3, no school for me!” 😄
The group staged a full-scale (good-natured!) protest in hopes of convincing administration that Monday should be a day of celebration.
Official statement from the principal:
School WILL still be in session Monday — win or lose. 😉
We love seeing students having fun, using their voices, and building community spirit… even if their proposal doesn’t quite make it onto the calendar!

He enjoyed grading papers, making copies, and even eating lunch at the teacher table. It was a special day getting a behind-the-scenes look at life as a teacher!

These amazing young servants of God helped create a beautiful quilt that will be donated to Orphan Grain Train.
Sharing God’s love, one gift at a time.
