Mrs. Mangham was my second grade teacher at McLewis Elementary. My days in her classroom are fondly remembered with her being the inspiration that led to my career as an elementary teacher also. I loved her calm and gentle style and how she would let us use her red pens to help grade papers. Her memory and influence will continue in the lives of all the children she so positively impacted over the years. Sherry (Brewer) Peterson
