Today we’re shining a spotlight on our 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Huber! She’s now in her 16th year of teaching, and her 14th here in Menno. If she could sit in on another teachers class for the day, she would like to visit Mr. Schmuck's Anatomy class and take part in some of his labs. Mrs. Huber’s #1 rule in life is, “treat others (and yourself!) with kindness and respect.” She has a rock-solid apocalypse plan, feels she’d make a good Hufflepuff, and one of her top 3 movies includes a heartbreaking scene where the kid from Home Alone is stung to death by bees (editors note: still traumatized by that). We’d like to share our appreciation and thank you, Mrs. Huber, for all the great things you do for your students and the Menno School District!
Congratulations to these Trapper seniors who were just awarded Academic All-State for this season! Trinity Bietz, Emily Dvorak, Nora Robb, Grace Vitek, and Ellyana Ulmer all participated in 3 or more years of basketball and earned a 3.5 or above GPA over their high school careers! This is a very special award, because it displays their dedication in the classroom, as well as on the court. Way to go, ladies!
Congratulations to the 4th & 5th Grade Science Fair Winners.
4th Grade (Front)- Callie C., McKenly G., Quinn H.
5th Grade (Back)- Callie H., Anna M., Laura C.
