Congratulations to the Decatur Rotary Club's Educator of the Month, Pat Schroeder! Mrs. Schroeder was nominated by Dr. Jonathan Field, Principal of Sangamon Valley High School. Mrs. Schroeder marks her 50th year in the district and is still excited about coming to work each day. She teaches AP Physics and Chemistry, and students often return to say they used Mrs. Schroeder's notes to get them through their college classes. Her leadership, dedication, and relationships with students make her a model educator and an integral part of the Sangamon Valley team. Congratulations, Mrs. Schroeder, to 50 years and counting!
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
