Mrs. Lawson - Physical Education

I was raised on a cattle ranch in Northern Nevada (Winnemucca)

My husband, Lary, and I own a small farm outside the Kimberly/Hansen area, with 2 dogs, Hank and Annie, and 2 horses,Gracie and Vinnie.

Our sons, Blake and Clint attended Kimberly schools, where I also worked in the SPED. After my years at Kimberly I was the school secretary at Wings Charter School for a school year. Shortly after that, 6 years ago,  I was given the wonderful opportunity to join the staff at ILS, this is my 5th year teaching PE.

Besides enjoying spending my day with the ILS kids in PE, I enjoy horseback riding, snow skiing, kayaking, gardening, spending time with my family, camping with my husband (and 2 dogs)and loving Jesus!

Mrs. Visser -  Physical Education

 

I am so happy to be in my second year of teaching music here at Immanuel Lutheran School. Music has always been an important part of my life. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share the gift of music with your children.

In addition to teaching general music, I also coordinate music for Chapel each week and lead the Praise Team. Comprised of third, fourth, and fifth graders, this group leads worship during our morning Chapel. It is truly an honor for me to help them grow in their relationship with God as they learn how to worship Him in song. I also organize and prepare students for our annual Christmas and Easter programs.

I was born and raised in the Magic Valley and I have lived here for most of my adult life. I am a graduate of Idaho State University. My husband David is also an elementary music teacher in Twin Falls. We have been married for 27 years and have two grown daughters. Our oldest daughter graduated from ISU last spring and is in her first year of teaching in Twin Falls. Our youngest daughter is a junior at ISU majoring in secondary education. Teaching really is our family business.

I absolutely love music and I am excited to be a part of helping our students learn and grow!

 Mrs. Rhoades - Reading Specialist

Hello! My name is Mrs. Rhoades, and this is my 6th year of teaching! In the past, I have taught 3 years of 2nd grade and 2 years of reading intervention. I love all aspects of teaching, but my favorite part is teaching the foundations of reading and helping my students develop the reading skills needed to become successful readers!

I have a beautiful, little family that includes my husband, sweet one year old daughter, Kynnlee, and our two dogs, Maxwell and Trigger. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family outdoors, hanging out at home, or visiting our family in the Boise area.
