The Excellent Educator Award, presented by the Missouri Retired Teachers Association (MRTA) and KRCG Television, was awarded to a California Elementary teacher at an assembly on Thursday, Jan. 26.
The award was presented to fourth grade teacher Jackie Howard by David Jungmeyer, president of the Moniteau County Retired Teachers Association (MCRTA). Assisting in the presentation were MRTA Executive Director Jim Kreider, and several officers and members of MCRTA.
"Today we want to recognize one particular teacher here at California Elementary School," said Jungmeyer. "The Missouri Retired Teachers Association and KRCG Television are pleased to present the Excellent Educator Award to a special teacher who is well loved by her students and those with whom she teaches. "She is a teacher who comes in early and stays late, going the extra mile to help her students achieve and reach their academic goals."
