Today we're shining a spotlight on our awesome 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Heckenlaible! This is her 19th year teaching in the Menno School District (Fun fact: Mrs. Heckenlaible is one of the school’s four 83' babies!). She appreciates a homemade meal of meatloaf and mashed potatoes, wants to visit Hawaii, enjoys the movie Elf, and would like to sit in on Mr. Schmuck's Anatomy class one day so she can dissect something. Thank you, Mrs. Heckenlaible, for you all you do for our students and school!

On this Friday of National School Counselors Week, we'd like to shine a spotlight on ours, Mrs. Fischer! She decided to become a counselor because she had an amazing one when she was in middle school and knew she wanted to have a similar positive impact on student's lives. She collects snow globes, enjoys lawn mowing, can sing along to Paula Abdul, and is one of the few folks who fully appreciates the underrated 90's film, Broken Arrow. Thank you for all you do for our students and school, Mrs. Fischer!
