We are having a rootin' tootin' good time during Cowboy Day of FFA Week!

On this chilly day, we’re shining a spotlight on our high school math teacher, Ms. Sternhagen! She’s in her 4th year in Menno, and her #1 rule in life is, “work hard, study well, eat and sleep plenty.” Ms. Sternhagen doesn’t believe she has what it takes to survive a zombie apocalypse, but she is confident she’d be able to give a very educational lecture on Czech Days. She also collects quarters and has a hidden talent for picking out good restaurants. Thank you for all you do for the Menno school, Ms. Sternhagen!

Our FINAL Senior Spotlight of the year is William Stokes!
