Today we’re happy to shine a spotlight on our 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Massey! It’s her third year in the Menno district and 11th as a teacher. She collects plants and mini things, and her favorite homemade meal is 2nd day roast (going to have to Google that one). Mrs. Massey says she’s inspired by people who don’t let setbacks in life get them down. Her favorite saying is, “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” Thank you, Mrs. Massey, for your dedication to our students (and athletes), and for all you do here at Menno school!

Desiree Yosten, Macee Haase, Lily Love, Fallon Rich, and Samantha Quiram attended the regional ART WARS Competition at USD in Vermillion on Friday, February 21st. Over 300 high school students from the eastern half of South Dakota competed in this event.
Students could choose two of the following categories to compete in, drawing, painting, clay, photography and digital art. Students were given one hour and 45 minutes to create an artwork based on a prompt given by the professor leading each category in the competition. No one knew the prompt ahead of time. Students wrote an artist's statement to explain the content of the artwork to the judges. Judges were chosen by the South Dakota High School Activities Association, only the top three students in each category advance to the State ART WARS Competition in Aberdeen. Menno students may not have made it to the State competition this year, but all of our students did very well and enjoyed the opportunity to attend this event.
I am proud of each and every one of them! Mrs. Kristi Schultz, ART

Post accredited to journalism student Brayden K.
Monday's spotlight shines on our middle school English teacher! Mrs. Knodel is in her 26th year as part of the Menno School District, and she entered education in part because her mom and aunt told her she would make a great teacher. Should she ever find the time, she’d like to write a book titled, “Help! I’m in Middle School and I Can’t Get Out.” If Mrs. Knodel had her own TED Talk, the focus would be on autism – specifically how having a person with autism in your family can change the dreams you had for them, but in a positive way. Thank you for your commitment and dedication to our students and school, Mrs. Knodel. We appreciate all you do!
