Today’s spotlight is glowing on Mrs. Wilcoxon, who is Jamesville Colonies 3rd-8th grade teacher! It’s her second year in the Menno School District, and 20th teaching. Her 2nd grade teacher had a big influence on her becoming an educator, and she’s always had a great love for kids and helping them. Mrs. Wilcoxon’s #1 rule in life is, “be true to yourself.” She enjoys a wide range of movies, including Disney, Marvel, horror, and rom coms. We want to thank Mrs. Wilcoxon for all the awesome things she does for her students and for our school!
