MISD teacher among 1,000 nationwide taken by surprise

Cheri Mannen said she has always known she wanted to be a teacher but her decision to become a teacher was not made until high school. In her fourth year at Magnolia Independent School District’s Nichols Sawmill Elementary School, Mannen who likes to surprise her first grade students with new and unusual projects was taken by surprise herself on Thursday morning, Oct. 1, when an entourage led by the Houston area Office Max leadership team paid a visit.
