Nancy is one of the most, creative, resourceful, engaging and talented people I know. Her dynamic personality is one of her greatest gifts. Nancy values the importance of developing relationships with others. People gravitate towards her because of her dynamic and genuine personality. In my role as a school principal, I have observed Nancy on many different occasions, playing many different roles. Nancy is first of all a teacher. Children adore her because she makes learning come alive! She integrates technology into the curriculum in challenging, meaningful and purposeful ways. To observe Nancy with children is nothing less than magical. I have had many opportunities to observe Nancy working with teachers, central office administrators and school principals. She has the unique gift of bringing the very best out in everyone she instructs. Educators respect, admire and appreciate her many talents. Nancy inspires everyone to want to learn more and become more. Nancy Mangum is a leader who is not afraid to advocate for the needs of students and teachers. She is an ambassador for 21st century teaching and learning. She not only encourages us to think and instruct differently; she provides us with the support, guidance and resources we need to be successful.

Nancy: I continue to get great feedback from the teachers who attend the SMART Board workshop. Thank you so much for leading this effort. You are making a substantial difference in how we teach and learn with technology. Thanks so much. Robert Hambrick, MEd, ITRT

Nancy, Thank you so much for teaching me how to create a blog, voicethread, and a wiki. I love being in the OCE 2.0 group and learning how to use all the wonderful technology that is out there. You are great to work with on class projects. I love collaborating with you on technology projects to go along with our units. The brochures that the students created for our community unit turned out wonderful. I can’t wait for the students to create their electronic timelines. It is always such a pleasure to work with someone who is so upbeat, positive and has such great ideas. Thanks, Christi Vereckey 2nd Grade Teacher

Hi Nancy, Thank you for agreeing to present to Ashley Lindsay and the RACG group. I remembered your exceptional use of Blackboard from the advisory council meetings last year. Your name popped to mind immediately when Ashley asked me today for recommendations. I know it means a lot to the OCIPD folks to have someone from the schools there and you’ll do an outstanding job demonstrating how Blackboard is positively impacting learning and teaching at Olive Chapel.

Hi Nancy: Just a quick note to let you know how much I have appreciated all the effort, cooperation and positive attitude you've had with regards to the ta's timesheets. Your suggestion on pre-keying the holidays and annual leaves worked very well this year, especially since this was our first year being a year-round school. It eliminated another hassle. Once again, thank you for all your help, it was/is very much appreciated. Sincerely, Maxine Maxine Woloschin Lead Secretary
