Congratulations to Ms. Sternhagen and her 1st hour Algebra I students! This morning after the flag pledge, a short sound bite from a song was played over the loud speaker and each class had the chance to identify it as quickly as possible and call the office with their answer. Ms. Sternhagen and her students were the first to correctly identify "Jailhouse Rock" by Elvis Presley. The winners received a gift basket of treats and other items, which earned two thumbs up! The next round of "Name that Tune" will be next Friday morning.
Menno School will not have school on Friday, April 7. Monday, April 10 will be an E-Learning day.
