Our latest winner is Mrs. Morgan Fehrmann – Kindergarten Teacher @ Grundy Center Elementary School, she was nominated by Kelsey Nilles, she wrote
Mrs. Fehrmann is new to our school district and she has been an AMAZING addition! My daughter is in her class & comes home every day telling me how wonderful kindergarten is. This is largely due to the work & dedication of Mrs. Fehrmann! She is committed to making sure that these young students are learning as much as they can & are becoming well rounded individuals. I am so proud to say that my daughter is in Mrs. Fehrmann’s class! I also am on the staff at Grundy Center with Mrs. Fehrmann & can attest that she brings so much to the table professionally! She has some great experiences to share & is constantly working to become a better teacher. She is a great collaborator & team player, & she really wants what is best for ALL of the students in our building!

Geo TV claims she even paid off another bride to secure that exact wedding date at Ocean House. The couple has been engaged since August and is now ditching the “intimate wedding” idea for options like her Rhode Island mansion or — casual flex — a private Caribbean island.

Bunnie even shared behind-the-scenes footage — and Jelly looks like he’s rethinking his marriage in real time.
