A big thank you to Helena who helped fund the Subway meal for staff during this evenings parent-teacher conferences! We appreciate your generosity and support. Have a great Spring Break, everyone!
We had so much fun at the Tractor Parade put on by the Menno FFA!
The spotlight this final day before spring break is on Menno’s Middle School Science teacher, Mrs. Stokes! This is her 17th year in the district, and she entered education because she enjoys working with kids. Mrs. Stokes is a big Disney and Marvel enthusiast, a Shane Falco (iykyk) fan, and would have been either a Sociology Professor or Marine Biologist if she hadn’t become a teacher. She has an excellent plan should she find herself amid a zombie emergency, due in part to her solid survival skills. We would like to take this chance to thank Mrs. Stokes for the many wonderful things she has done and continues to do for our students and the Menno District!
