Staff of the Week
Coach Lundein, our elementary and high school P.E. teacher, has been teaching for five years. Not only is he teaching physical education, but he’s also coaching Jr. High basketball, assistant coaching high school basketball, and head coaching high school baseball. He even lead our young baseball team passed the first round in a tough district! Lundein attended Webb City High School before graduating at Columbus Unified High School. He then went on to graduate from MSU in Springfield. If he wasn’t teaching here at Verona, he would probably still be working with the boys and girls club, which he worked 8 years with. Lundein is a big fan of watching baseball and football and enjoys playing slow pitch softball.
Student of the Week
Junior Martinez is not only a great student, but he’s also a great guy. He is always respectful, always pays attention, and he finishes tasks wherever he can. He plans to join the Marine Corps, and with all the heart and hustle that he has, he will do just fine. Junior comes from a big family, being the oldest of nine. His favorite teacher is Mr. Mooneyham. When asked if he would change anything about Verona, he said that it would be nice to go somewhere else for lunch. One of Junior’s favorite sayings is, “If you fall, get back up and try harder!”
