  • The Faculty/Staff of the Month results are below. Wanda Young-Lowe is this month’s winner!
  • As a science teacher, Dr. Young-Lowe’s goal is to transform students into scientific thinkers.  Her approach stems from the belief that all students can and will learn.  She creates a mutually respectful, nonjudgmental learning environment where making errors is okay and results in improved learning and evidence based practices.  She uses strategies and approaches that engage yet challenge students’ level of thinking which leads them to see things differently, and develop behaviors and make decisions that will benefit them and their community.
  • CONGRATLATIONS!!!!!
  • Please show respect towards others on purpose today!!!
  • And Students Remember…..”Here at Montevallo Middle School, We Expect Success and Nothing Less”!

Have a Terrific Tuesday!!!!!
