My name is Mrs. Venuti and I am the PreK teacher. Our class consists of 3 and 4 year olds.

This is my 11th year at Immanuel Lutheran School.  I started as the teacher assistant and I have been blessed to have moved up to be the lead teacher for the last 4 years.


I feel extremely lucky to be apart of Immanuel Lutheran Church and School. I truly enjoy coming to work everyday and being with these little angels. I love teaching and the smiles on my students faces make it all worth while.


Our days definitely fly by while we are learning, working and playing. Each day is a new adventure and I hope this journey continues for years to come.

Hello! I'm Mrs. Lindley. I've been the Preschool Aid at Immanuel since 2021 having moved to the U.S.  from Austria.


I graduated with a special nursing degree for children and spent seven years as a NICU Nurse.

Immanuel is central to our families lives, but when we aren't here I love to be enjoying the outdoors and experiencing nature, especially skiing and snowboarding.


Taking care of little ones is part of my DNA and I am so excited for the year ahead!
