Arcanum Teacher Honored With Wal-Mart Award

A teacher in the Arcanum-Butler Local School District in Darke County was surprised Tuesday afternoon to be honored by Wal-Mart as a Teacher of the Year.

Sherri Kelly is a second-grade teacher at Arcanum Elementary. She was nominated by the parent of a student.

The award cited all of her time and effort in the classroom and on her own to help students with reading problems. Kelly’s school was presented with a $1,000 check, while she received a gift card from Wal-Mart to spend on her classroom

Nationwide, more than 4,000 teachers are being honored this week, which is National Teacher Appreciation Week.
