As we begin the 2021-2022 school year, we are continuing our Meet Us Monday Blog series to include some familiar faces who have taken on new roles within the community in the past couple of years. We are so blessed to have these former classroom teachers continuing to serve students and families in new positions within the Immanuel community. Check in each week to re- meet one of the wonderful members of our team.
