Today’s spotlight shines on one of our amazing Administrative Assistants! Mrs. Sayler is in her third year in the office, and amazingly, has lived to talk about it. She would like to travel to Europe one day to visit some of the places her father was stationed during World War II. Mrs. Sayler’s #1 rule in life is the Golden Rule, her favorite homemade meal is hamburger rolls and sweet rice, and she likes to collect dust bunnies under her furniture. We’re grateful for Mrs. Sayler and want to thank her for all she does for the office staff, our students, and the Menno school!

Kindergarten and 4th Grade had a great time doing rainbow crafts at the Care Center today!
Thank you to the several (hundred) folks who caught the spelling error in our last Business "Manager" ad. It's probably important to note at this time that the graphic designer was a history teacher by trade. 😉

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!
