The summer program for students is supported by the Albion Education Foundation through the school. Stacy Peterson was recognized for her contributions to the District. IMrs. Peterson serves on various committees and we have been fortunate to have her both teach and coach. Her interactions with students as a teacher and coach is always positive.  She has always been very supportive and approaches people with a positive outlook. Her positive demeanor is infectious and inspires those around her to engage tasks or interact with each other in a good and constructive manner. Whether in the classroom teaching, contributing during various committee assignments, interacting with her peers, or coaching her track and cross-country athletes, Mrs. Peterson always approached things with the big picture in mind, and that is what is best for our kids. Mrs. Peterson’s positive attitude and encouraging approach is refreshing and is a welcome breath of fresh air in our school. We appreciate what Mrs. Peterson brings to our District. We are lucky to have her. Boone Central staff who contributed to the success of the District track meet were applauded for their hard work and dedication.
