🩺 A Huge Shoutout to Our Amazing Nurse Vanely! 💙
We wanted to take a moment to share some much-deserved appreciation for the heart of our school’s clinic: Nurse Vanely.

It’s no secret that the students absolutely adore her! Whether it’s a scraped knee, a tummy ache, or just needing a safe space to talk, Nurse Vanely is always there with a smile. She doesn't just provide medical care; she provides comfort.

Here’s why we are so lucky to have her:

👂 A Listening Ear: She always takes the time to truly listen to our students, making them feel heard and valued.
✨ Effortless Excellence: She handles every situation with such grace and beauty—she makes a very tough job look easy!
🚀 Above & Beyond: She consistently goes the extra mile to ensure every single child is taken care of, healthy, and happy.

Nurse Vanely, thank you for all that you do for our school community. We are beyond grateful to have you on our team! 🍎🩹

Celebrating Our Fabulous Four! 🏫✨
Behind every great school is a team that keeps it all together, and today, we are shouting out the four incredible women who make Mann Middle School a "well-oiled machine!"

Happy Administrative Professionals Day! We would be lost without your hard work, your patience, and your dedication to our students. Join us in saying a huge thank you to:

Mrs. Rivero: Our amazing Secretary! Thank you for your leadership and for keeping our school operations running smoothly every single day.
Mrs. Lopez: Our attendance guru! Thank you for your diligence in making sure our students are here, accounted for, and getting the education they deserve. 📚
Mrs. C: Our media maven! From the awesome social media updates to the yearbook, you keep us connected. Thank you for that happy, warm smile you give everyone who walks in (and we love the cool hair! 🌈).
Ms. Villa: Our enrollment specialist! Thank you for helping our families navigate the process and truly giving our students a place to call their "middle school home." 🏠

From the front office to the digital world, these ladies do it all with grace and efficiency. We are so incredibly lucky to have you on our staff. Thank you for everything you do for our kids, our parents, and our teachers! ❤️

Celebrating the Heart of Mann Middle School🦬

We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our incredible Mann Mentors, who were honored as nominees for Youth Volunteers of the Year. It was a night to "Lead the Charge and Set the Standards," and seeing everyone dressed up and proud truly showcased the spirit of our school.

We also want to give a special shout-out to our Partners in Education who make our work possible every day. Please join us in congratulating our wonderful nominees:

Jamie Perez (Amarillo College): Adult Volunteer of the Year nominee.
Karen Roberts (Get Fit): Outstanding Business Partner nominee.
Monica Balderas (Family Support Services): The Warren Kincaid Award nominee.
Nayeli Gonzalez (WT Trio): Mentor of the Year nominee.

If you see these amazing volunteers or our Mann Mentors around town, please give them a high-five or a word of thanks! We’ve had a phenomenal year, and we’re already counting down the days until we can do it all again next year with our new group of Mann Mentors.
