Congratulations 2nd Grade Teachers at Veneta Elementary

The 2nd grade teaching team of Deanna Greene, Corinne Messman, and Angie Pebworth at Veneta Elementary School have been selected as the Veterans of Foreign Wars Teachers of the Year for VFW District 13 for their outstanding work in civic education during the past year.  The 2nd grade team worked together to teach students about their local community with field trips to city hall, the Applegate Museum, Zumwalt Park, etc.  Their students heard from descendants of some of the Fern Ridge founding families.  Local leaders from the community also were guest teachers in their classrooms.  The three teachers will be honored at a banquet at the Springfield VFW Post on December 14th.  We are very proud of each of them and of the program they put together.  Congratulations!!!
