Dr. William Mennies Elementary School

Congratulations to Dr. William Mennies School’s 2025 Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Lindsey Bertonazzi, and our Educational Service Professional of the Year, Ms. Grace Ortiz!

Mrs. Bertonazzi is an exceptional 2nd-grade teacher and a true team player. She goes above and beyond for her students, creating engaging and meaningful lessons that spark excitement in the classroom. She is a strong leader at her grade level, always willing to step in and support others. Whether she is organizing school events, serving on the Mennies Mission Team, or volunteering her time to make our school shine, Mrs. Bertonazzi consistently demonstrates her dedication to the Mennies community.

We are equally thrilled to honor Ms. Grace Ortiz for her unwavering dedication, passion, and commitment to our students. She truly cares about every child she works with and is always willing to step in wherever she is needed. Her support, positivity, and hard work have helped make Mennies the special place it is today.

We are incredibly fortunate to have such outstanding team members at our school. Congratulations, Mrs. Bertonazzi and Ms. Ortiz! 💙💛
