SDB Teacher Honored

On October 6, business retailer Office Max honored school teachers across the country with their "A Day Made Better" campaign. Their goal is to "Erase Teacher-Funded Classrooms" by providing supplies to deserving and gifted teachers.

The only teacher honored in Janesville, Wisconsin (pop. 60,000) was long-time public school teacher Cheri Appel, wife of SDB Executive Director Rob Appel. Cheri teaches at Jackson Elementary and is a member of the Milton, Wis., SDB Church.

The story about Cheri's nomination and coverage (with fun photos) of her being surprised by over $1,000 of school supplies is found at the "A Day Made Better" website. You can view the history behind the campaign, then click on "The 2009 Stories," click on the state of Wisconsin, then scroll down to "Janesville."

Congratulations, Cheri, for a job (and career) well done!!
