🌟 Infinite Possibilities: Sensee Jahnagile’s Impact at Bunger Middle School🌟
For Sensee Jahnagile, teaching isn’t just a career—it’s a calling. Inspired by her own teachers and a love for working with kids, she knew from a young age that she wanted to create a space where students feel welcomed, supported, and cared for.
At just 24, Sensee connects with her students as a "big sister," guiding them in kindness, emotional growth, and respect. "Building relationships is what I love most about teaching," she shares. "Whether in the classroom, on the volleyball court, or at track practice, I enjoy watching my students grow in confidence, teamwork, and perseverance."
Her goal this year? To make math engaging and meaningful. "I want students to see how what they learn connects to the infinite possibilities ahead of them. My goal is for every student to leave my class feeling supported and ready to take on the world."
Some of her favorite memories come from connecting with students at sporting events, rec nights, and in class. "Those moments of laughter and growth remind me why I teach," she says.
Sensee describes herself as #empathetic. "I meet students where they are, offering grace and patience. We’re all on a journey, and I strive to create an environment where everyone feels seen and valued."
💡 At Bunger Middle School, Sensee Jahnagile is helping students see the infinite possibilities within themselves.

Bunger Spotlight: 8th Grader Freddy ❄️
Freddy, a new face at Bunger Middle School, is already making waves with his positivity and determination. Freddy is originally from Micronesia and just moved to Iowa in July. Starting at a new school might seem intimidating, but Freddy embraced the challenge.
“There are a few other kids here from Micronesia that I knew, so it wasn’t super scary attending a new school. Iowa is great—there are so many more opportunities for everyone.”
Back in Micronesia, school wasn’t easy for Freddy, but here, he’s found a fresh start. “School is actually a good place, and you can learn without being yelled at.” Freddy’s hard work is paying off, and he’s thriving at Bunger.
One of Freddy’s favorite new experiences? Snow! He had his first experience with snow recently and loved playing in it—though his parents weren’t quite as excited about the cold. Freddy also enjoyed playing soccer this year and is looking forward to exploring more opportunities.
When he’s not playing sports like soccer or baseball (he’s a speedy shortstop!), Freddy is focused on his future. He dreams of joining the Army after high school to serve a purpose and put his love for exercise to good use.
Freddy’s family is his foundation, and he’s grateful for their support. “They moved us to the United States for a better life, and I’m thankful for that.”
We’re so glad you’re part of the Bunger family, Freddy! Your story reminds us of the power of new beginnings and the infinite possibilities ahead.

🌟 Infinite Possibilities: Mandy Feldpouch’s Story 🌟
When Mandy Feldpouch started as a para at Hoover 12 years ago, she thought it would be temporary. But soon, she realized she had found her calling. “I didn’t want ‘something different’—what I had found was exactly what I needed,” Mandy shared.
Now a Student Support Specialist at Bunger Middle School, Mandy is a constant source of encouragement for students. “I love building relationships and providing unconditional support. I try to instill in kids that they are capable of ANYTHING and that hard work always pays off.”
Middle school can be a tough time, but Mandy sees it as an opportunity. “During these years, students begin making big decisions about their futures. Having a trusted adult to guide and mentor them is so important. Their energy, growth, and potential make this work so rewarding.”
This year, Mandy is stepping out of her comfort zone, modeling the resilience she hopes to inspire. “I want kids to know it’s okay to feel vulnerable about new things, but they’ll never reach their full potential by staying comfortable.”
Mandy lives by her motto, #BeStrongBeYou, encouraging everyone to embrace their authentic selves. Thank you, Mandy, for unlocking infinite possibilities for Bunger students every day!

🌟 Infinite Possibilities Spotlight: Evelyn, 7th Grader at Bunger Middle School🌟
Meet Evelyn, a remarkable 7th grader who is making a big impact at Bunger Middle School by helping others every day. Evelyn’s bilingual skills and compassionate nature make her an invaluable part of the Bunger family.
"I like being a helper here at Bunger. I can assist teachers when students are having trouble speaking English. I help with Spanish to English translations and do whatever it takes to make the day better. Helping here has made me realize I want to do something where I'm helping kids—probably a teacher like my mom. She's a real inspiration to me."
Evelyn’s wisdom and kindness shine through in everything she does. She’s learned the importance of asking for help and strives to build relationships with others, especially non-English-speaking students. “I’ve been there, struggling to translate in my head. But now, I think in English. I understand how hard it can be, and that’s why I want to help others.”
For Evelyn, being bilingual isn’t just a skill for now but a tool for the future. “I don’t judge a book by its cover. You never know someone’s backstory, but you can always make their day better. I hope everyone can learn that lesson to make the world a better place.”
Her advice? #BeYourself. “Nobody is the same, and that’s what makes us unique. At Bunger, we’re all family, no matter how you look or what language you speak. Our diversity is what makes us great.”
Thank you, Evelyn, for showing us how kindness, empathy, and determination can create infinite possibilities!

🎨 Bunger Spotlight: 7th Grader Timothy 🦁
Meet Timothy, a quiet yet inspiring member of the Bunger Middle School family who brightens every day with his positivity and creativity.
"I like coming to school to hang out with my friends and learn things. Being at Bunger makes me have a good day."
Timothy's love for learning and being part of the Bunger community is contagious. He’s a big fan of specials, especially art, where he enjoys drawing lions—his favorite animal since watching The Lion King as a little kid. “I draw them whenever I can. It makes me happy.”
When Timothy isn’t creating lion masterpieces, you’ll find him playing video games like Minecraft and Roblox with his friends. Someday, he dreams of designing video games himself.
Timothy's excitement for school is unmatched—he even gets sad on Saturdays because he misses Bunger. “I love Mondays! I get to come to my favorite place, learn, and see my friends.”
Thank you, Timothy, for showing us the power of a positive attitude and a love for creativity. You remind us all how special Bunger truly is!
