Congratulations to those in middle school who participated at the Corn Belt Conference contest today in Emery. Winning top superiors were Tommy, Audrey, Ivana, and Emma. Earning an excellent rating were Leah, Olivia, Justin, and Joanna.
Today’s spotlight is on Mrs. Schaeffer, who wears all kinds of hats around our school, including those of paraprofessional and administrative assistant! She’d like visit Greece someday and if she could time travel, she would go back to the early 2000’s and her twin sister’s house. In the event she needed a gameplan to survive a zombie apocalypse, Mrs. Schaeffer would roll with the philosophy that, “if you can’t beat them, join them.” She enjoys all different genres of movies, and may be the only individual you’ll ever meet who lists “Kindergarten Cop” among their Top 3 favorites (an incredibly underrated film). Thank you, Mrs. Schaeffer, for the many, many things you do to help make the Menno school a better place. We appreciate you!
FFA Tractor Parade will be on March 11 at 1:45 pm.
