Hello Marshall Mustangs.
My name aka: Ms. Juanita. I was warmly welcomed by the Marshall School staff and students at the beginning of this new school year and I want to THANK Everyone for being so kind to me from day One.
I grew up here in Flagstaff; attending Mt. Elden (Killip) elementary (Yes that Was a LONG time ago, Thank you :).. East Flag Jr. High (MEMS) and graduating from Coconino High School. I have worked in the FUSD1 school system since 1986 for about 15 years while my two children worked their way through elementary and Jr. High school years. I have a son, a daughter and 3 grandsons and a large family many living in the Phoenix Valley.
Although I am not a Certified teacher, I have taught children from Headstart to High school, Sunday school, Adult ministries, and I have Loved all of it.
Growing up, I played softball, ran track, cross country skied, hiked the Grand Canyon, rode the waves on river trips. These are the things I most enjoyed, mostly now, spending time with my grandsons; playing ball and board games, legos and puzzles, swimming, fishing, going to the movies, and of course, eating out! I am loving the time I get to serve at and with my church family and, also remodeling my home and keeping up my yard.
It is a pleasure and a joy being a new member of the Marshall Mustang family and I hope to get to know all of you as we work and play together. Let’s have a wonderful and Blessed year.

Mitochondrial Disease awareness week: Sept. 15th-21st
(my son, Ryder Hauer, had a mito disorder: Alper’s Syndrome)
(my son, Ryder Hauer, had a mito disorder: Alper’s Syndrome)
The
parts of the body that need the most energy, such as the heart, brain,
muscles and lungs, are the most affected by mitochondrial disease. The
affected individual may have strokes, seizures, gastro-intestinal
problems, (reflux, severe vomiting, constipation, diarrhea), swallowing
difficulties, failure to thrive, blindness, deafness, heart and kidney
problems, muscle failure, heat/cold intolerance, diabetes, lactic
acidosis, immune system problems and liver disease.
IMPORTANT for YOU as an educator to know about our student/s with Mito:
- When is someone with Mitochondrial Disease at the highest risk?
The child is at highest risk for neurological and organ damage during and for the two weeks following an illness. Therefore even a simple flu or cold virus can have devastating effects on the patient, even death.
Professionals tend to come to work when they don’t feel well. They push through it because they feel they can and don’t want students affected by their absence. Taking care of yourself is taking care of our students! 😷
GAND Awareness Day September 16, 2019 
GATAD2B-associated neurodevelopmental disorder is an inherited condition that is characterized by severe intellectual disability. Other signs and symptoms vary but may include limited speech development, poor muscle tone in children (childhood hypotonia), thin hair, distinctive facial features, and long fingers. The condition is caused by changes (mutations) in the GATAD2B gene or a loss (deletion) of the part of the chromosome 1 where the GATAD2B gene is located (1q21.3). The condition may occur de novo or be inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.
As of September 2019, there are over 140 known cases of affected individuals with GAND from 24 countries. (1 is a student at Marshall)
This disorder is very rare. There is not much reliable information about it. If you’d like more information about how GAND affects one of our students, Eva Herberger would gladly share her knowledge!

Mustang Gallop!
We have made a few changes for gallop safety and FHS homecoming parade safety. It is a delicate dance with the gallop, lunch and the parade schedule. For safety, we will avoid primary lunch recess during the intermediate gallop time. Last year we had a few littles run into the path of our bigs. We also need to be sure all students are supervised during the parade AND eat lunch. Please note the schedules below. K-3 teachers, please drop off and pick up students from the cafeteria (you do not have to stay for 10 min). 4/5 teachers, you will grab sack lunches and eat during the parade. If anyone cannot be with their class during the parade, you must let me know so we can arrange coverage. Again, this means no recesses are scheduled after lunch. Finally, FHS students will not be delivering candy, they will give us FHS cups! Too cool.
Group photos taken before scheduled run time. Please be outside 10min before your lunch time.
All students should bring a water bottle.
