It's a Family Thing
It’s no secret that this teacher is about to expand their family by 1 and make Andy a big brother.
Ms. Cook
This teacher has moved classrooms more than any other staff member – and now occupies the furthest classroom from the gym if you were to count steps.
Mr. Warner
This teacher loves oatmeal cookies and popcorn – almost as much as their 4 feline friends.
Ms. Boettcher
This teacher loves taking their family on camping trips, especially where there is good hiking and opportunity for star-gazing – and the furthest they’ve been is Boyne Lake, Alberta.
Mr. Neufeld
Before this staff member was helping out in the wood shop, they played football for the U of M Bisons.
Mr. Engel
This teacher channelled their “The Big Bang Theory” – just like Howard and Bernadette who love science and named their daughter after “Hailey’s Comet”, they too named their daughter Hailey.
Mr. Sadler
This teacher is said to have the messiest classroom in the building – but also one of the most fun, as they keep silly and stupid comments made by students and staff written front and centre on their whiteboard.
Mr. Nielsen
This staff member always has a nice stash of Werthers Originals sitting on their desk for those popping in – even if it’s for a not-so-good reason.
Mr. St Vincent
This teacher once went to Texas to catch their favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys play; that was before all the Disney trips that came later with their kids.
Mr. Hiebert
This teacher has been hired for every job they’ve every applied for; too bad “professional curling mom” hasn’t been one of them yet…
Ms. Graham
This teacher can often be heard talking about the antics of their crazy pup, Apollo – named for the god of archery, music and dance.
Mr. Davis
This teacher’s classroom was painted by them with love – a nice teal blue color to keep things calm amid the chaos.
Ms. Giesbrecht
This teacher eats nothing that once had a heartbeat – but really loves their coffee, skittles and cheesecake.
Ms. Glenday
This teacher once took a professional development trip to Jamaica to “learn how to best make jerk chicken” – they said it was for curricular reasons, but we aren’t so sure…
Ms. Mawhinney
Before this teacher starting coaching Lynx sports, they spent five years teaching on a Hutterite colony.
Mr. Mabon
The youngest member on staff, this teacher was also the one who most recently “tied the knot”.
Ms. Kotowich
This teacher’s classroom is where a wall of classic vehicles can be found.
Mr. Epp
This staff member enjoys making homemade salsa, pickles and beets – but hasn’t ever brought in for the grade 12s weirdly enough…
Ms. Pritchard
This teacher took their two daughters and little Jack on a cross-Canada tour and visited all 5 great lakes last summer.
Ms. Ramsden
This staff member met their future husband, also a teacher, while “working at the carwash” – the Chamois carwash, that is.
Ms. Huver
This staff member has a set of school-aged fraternal twins who greet them when they get home – out near Niverville.
Ms. Knip
This staff member’s classroom is where the most students will filter in and out of for the 2023-2024 school year.
Ms. Fredericks
This fun-socks-wearing staff member says “no thank you” when it comes to dessert – needs to stay fit for all the travelling around the world.
Mr. Enns
This staff member is headed to Cuba this spring break, but is leaving their pups Wiley and Lewis behind.
Ms. Muzyka
When he still had hair, this staff member once picked raspberries for money, but was so slow, they only earned $2.00/hour because they were paid by the pound.
Mr. Nikkel
