Mr. Penner was recently the high school gym and health teacher at our school, Steinbach Christian School. Unfortunately, he no longer works here, and we as students have something to say about him, and how he has impacted our lives as a teacher, coach, mentor, and friend.
Being a student of the school for seven years, I have witnessed the impact Mr. Penner has made on my friends, classmates, and the school as a whole.
Mr. Penner has been a big encouragement to many students throughout his time at SCS, and has impacted us in a positive way, not only in sports but on a relational level.
As students, parents, coaches, mentees, and friends, we hope that you would reconsider Mr. Penner's re-employment at SCS.
Mr Penner coached my son and daughter in vBall and/or bBall from grade 7-12 (directly or indirectly) AND I had the opportunity to coach with him in basketball. I appreciated it when he recognized he’d made a mistake he’d apologize to me BUT ALSO to the students, setting a great example of humility. His heart investment and hours, hours and more hours of personal time to help each student be their best hasn’t ever been fully recognized. Mr Penner, the students have seen your heart, thanks for investing into their lives as if they were your own children!!
