Staff Spotlight - March 8

Each week we will be doing a staff spotlight featuring a staff member from both Nemaha Valley Elementary and Middle School and from Nemaha Valley High School. Every Monday a new set of staff members will be featured on the page. We will be asking every staff member the same set of questions.
