Meet Our Team

Ms. Manca is all about living life to the fullest, but doesn't drink coffee so she often looks a little tired.

At work, you'll find Ms. M. "in the zone." At home she's either with her daughters, hiking, reading, or dreaming up her next tattoo. Most of her free time is spent on outdoor adventures, hikes, or road trips.

​Her library motto is "Placing the right book, in the right hands at the right time creates a reader for life." Find her on Twitter @MsMancaReads. 

Mrs. Cartwright enjoys trying new things and learning technology tools that enhance student learning. You can generally find her with a coffee or tea in hand and craving something sweet. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends, coaching, travelling, camping, hiking, being outdoors, and playing sports. 

Before moving to Kelowna, Mrs. Cartwright taught in North Vancouver and South Korea. She spent three years teaching abroad and travelling. She has many memories of her adventures throughout South Korea, China, Japan, and Indonesia. 

Mrs. Cartwright is very excited to be at KSS and is looking forward to connecting with many of you in the school community.
