A heartfelt shoutout to Mrs. Zeigler at Perdew Elementary for the kindness and care she shows her students. When one student joined the district last year, Mrs. Zeigler went above and beyond to make her feel welcome and part of the Perdew community.

Thank you, Mrs. Zeigler, for making a lasting impact on your students!
