About Mrs. Menges

Meet the 4th Grade Teacher

At home visits and through various surveys, Mrs. Menges has been trying to get to know the 4th graders and their families... Now it's time to start asking her the nosy questions!

Family: My husband, Lewis, is a police officer.  We got married in July of 2021!  My mom and dad live in Seward, Nebraska (where I lived for 11 years) and work at Concordia University and St. John Lutheran Church.  My older, and only, brother, Nick, lives in Springfield, Oregon with his wife, Heidi.  He works remotely as an accountant.  

Education: I was very blessed to go to Lutheran schools all the way up to 8th grade.  Then I went public for high school- Seward High School.  For college, I attended Concordia University Nebraska where I graduated with a B.S. in Education and a Lutheran Teacher's Diploma.  In December of 2019, I graduated with a Masters of Arts in Christian Ministry from Bryan College in Dayton, Tennessee!
