Teacher Luncheon
If you're new to LVMS, we have a long tradition of doing a monthly teacher appreciation. It's just a small way to say thank you for all the long hours & extra demands that comes with teaching/working in a small district. We serve/feed about 40 teachers and staff.
It's something they all look forward to each month so please help us keep the tradition alive by contributing once or twice throughout the year.
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0c4da5af2fa02-octobers
Last month's luncheon was a huge success so if you helped thanks so much. The teachers & staff really enjoyed everything!
November & December are traditionally baked goods that the teachers can bring home in lieu of lunch so if you are a baker please consider blessing our teachers. Be on the lookout for those links next week.

Melissa Hergenreder, Yearbook & Tech Apps Teacher
Where are you originally from?
Clovis, California (Central)
What led you to want to be a teacher? How long have you been in education?
My parents were both teachers and administrators for almost 50 years. I got to see them touch so many lives and change children's perspectives on learning and watch their students succeed. I knew I wanted to serve my community and our youth this way too. I am in my second year of teaching and coaching at LVMS.
Tell us about your family.
My family are my favorite people on the planet! I have a loving husband of 16 1/2 years and we share a daughter, 12 years old, and a son who is 11 years old. My mother is a huge part of our family too as she now resides with us in Tx.; as well as my sister and brother-in-law. It is my greatest joy to spend time with them making memories.
What are your favorite hobbies?
I most enjoy going to the lake and floating on a noodle, listening to Christian contemporary music or country. I also love cooking-out with friends, traveling, and watching a suspenseful series on Netflix.
What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
I don't like ice cream! I'm a potato chip kind of girl.
What is your favorite food?
Roasted or grilled artichokes, with tons of butter and mayonnaise
Are you a dog or a cat person?
Hard Core Dog person!
Which of your children is your favorite?
I always say to my son, "You are my favorite...BOY!" and to my daughter, " You are my favorite...GIRL!" They both have an equal place in my heart.
