Emanuel Lutheran School

My husband, Todd, our son, Isaac and I moved to Hamburg in 2013 when my husband, now known as Vicar Bentz, became the principal of Emanuel Lutheran School. I grew up in Minnesota and attended St. Paul/St. Peter Lutheran School, which is now know as Christ Community Lutheran School in Watertown, MN. After graduating from Mayer Lutheran High School, I attended Concordia in St. Paul, MN and later Concordia in Seward, NE. In 1990 I graduated with an Elementary Education degree from Concordia in Seward, NE. I have served as a full time classroom teacher in Lutheran Elementary Schools in Hawaii, Illinois, and Minnesota. In 2005 I received a Master's Degree in Teaching and Learning from St. Mary's University in Winona, MN. In 2014 I began working for Lutheran Special Education Ministries as a resource room teacher. Currently I serve at Emanuel Lutheran School in Hamburg, MN, St. John's Lutheran School in Norwood-Young America, MN, and Zion Lutheran School in Cologne, MN through LSEM. I love sharing Jesus as I help students discover new things about how they best learn, master concepts, and use their God-given gifts. While at Emanuel I have also enjoyed coaching volleyball, and directing choirs, Christmas programs, and musicals. During my free time I love hanging out with family and friends, hiking, singing, and playing with our puppy. I feel blessed to be part of the Emanuel Lutheran School Family!
