Mr. Minelli. We are so grateful for Mr. Minelli building such a positive and respectful community at Munhall. Every time we see him he always makes us feel welcomed and appreciated! Easton loves coming to school each and every day and looks forward to saying good morning to all of his teachers. We love being a Munhall Mustang! Thanks for all that you do to make school feel safe and fun for all!

Mrs. Carey! She is a great 1st grade teacher and is so sweet and caring to her students.

Archived HI-FIVES

Tony Millum- Our amazing Custodian mopped up, cleaned up, rolled up and sanitized all and everything. I don't know what we would do without his hardworking dedication.

Nurse Plach- This week Munhall had a lot of sick children. Nurse Plach remained extremely positive, calm and empathic while having a long line of extremely sick kids outside her door. THANK YOU for helping our kids feel better.

Mrs. Heuser, Mrs. Keegan and Mrs. Tom- Munhall Fall Fest was amazing thanks to their continuous hard work!

Laura Egasti for her patience and perseverance in making sure her students always have all the tools they need at any given moment and her willingness to closely partner with families for well rounded consistency.

Amber Keegan and Amanda O'Brien for always seeing the kids where they are at in the moment AND where they have the potential to go and then pushing them gently to reach their fullest potential.

Jay'ceon Wilson in 5-P has offered a hand to help a Kindergarten student back to class when the student was struggling. I saw him on another occasion give him a little high five which made the kindergartener smile.

Adilynn Aguirre in 1-Wallen. Adilynn has helped her peers smile when having a bad day. She has helped a teacher with sharpening pencils and she has just gone above and beyond demonstrating the mustang way!!!
