Many of our readers have fond memories of Mr. Mark Mooneyhan, an exceptional educator who served in various roles over his many years of service to Waycross City Schools, Ware County Schools, Okefenokee RESA, and the local religious community. Mr. Mooneyhan acted in several capacities, including Science teacher extraordinaire, administrator, RESA Curriculum Specialist, and Interim Superintendent of Ware County Schools. We all suffered a great loss upon his passing nearly a year ago.
Throughout his career, he touched many lives and inspired his students to go after their dreams, just as the main character Nigel did in the book entitled "Nigel and the Moon." To honor Mr. Mooneyhan’s memory, each elementary school in the district will be presented with a copy of the book, dedicated in memory to him.
On hand to witness the book presentation were (left to right) sons Cory and Nate Mooneyhan, wife Michelle Mooneyhan, Dr. Sonya Bennett from the Office of Student Achievement, and Superintendent Bert Smith.
