Western named Teacher of the Month

Mrs. Kelly Western, a Special Education teacher at Scudder Primary, who was recognized as the Rotary Club of Wimberley’s Teacher of the Month. Mrs. Western was selected for this because she is always willing to help out wherever there is a need; she fills in for the nurse daily during lunch; she is fantastic with students and always have a smile; and she is dependable and willing to come early or stay late.

On April 25, 2019, local Rotarians presented Mrs. Western with her “just desserts” which included gluten free chocolate cookies, a framed certificate of appreciation, an orchid plant and a Rotary Loves Readers t-shirt.

“Just Desserts” is a teacher appreciation activity organized by The Rotary Club of Wimberley. “Just Desserts” is the most recent addition to the Club’s series of programs under the theme of “Rotary Loves Readers.” These programs include reading initiatives within our schools, library seminars, a nursing home book club, book giveaways, and scholarships. Rotarians are also “Reading Buddies” for 25 current Jacobs Well Elementary 2nd graders who need a little extra practice reading.
