Congratulations to Osnaburg Local School's "Teacher of the Year" and "Rookie of the Year."
Our Teacher of the Year for the 2011-2012 academic year is Mary Bonam. Mary is an elementary language arts teacher ingrades 4 and 5. She has been a member of our teaching family for the past 28 years. Mrs. Bonam lives in our community and is married to our head maintenance man - Mr. Larry Bonam. They are the proud parents of two grown daughters.
Our Rookie of the Year for the 2011-12 academic year is Roxanne King. Ms. King has been teaching Spanish in our district for the past two years. We keep her very busy here at work as she teaches in the elementary, middle and high school. She is also very busy at home as the mother of twin boys who are in first grade.
Both of these fine teachers will be recognized at an awards ceremony on April 30, 2012 at RG Drage Careeer Center.
As we move into the final stretch of the 2011-2012 academic year please remember that we relish your involvement in the education of our East Canton students. Please support all of our Osnaburg Local staff members, cheer for our spring athletes, encourage our musicians, back the members of our various clubs, and confirm the importance of academics to all of our students.
