In the same gymnasium where for the last 14 years she has taught Greenwood children to stay fit and have fun doing it, Bonnie Weyer was recognized Monday night for her work.
Weyer received the Greenwood Board of Education’s sixth annual Teacher Recognition Award at the annual district meeting.

Board member Dr. Russell Dean presented the award. Dean commended Weyer for introducing life sports to the Greenwood Elementary physical education curriculum. Since joining the Greenwood staff in 1978, Weyer has added programs on athletic activities children can use after their school years, such as ice skating, bicycling, and cross country skiing.

Weyer each spring coordinates a fifth grade bicycle riding trip to a state riding trail, and also runs a “Jump Rope for Heart’ program through the American Heart Association.

In presenting the award, Dean said, “We thank all of our teachers and support staff for the job they are doing with our kids. And tonight we thank especially as 1992 teacher of the year Bonnie Weyer for the outstanding job she has done with our kids.”

“We appreciate Bonnie Weyer,” Dean continued, “for teaching our kids to be tough competitors, for teaching our kids to play and work cooperatively, for introducing our kids to life sports, for showing our kids and us by your teaching and by your personal example that fitness is fun.”

Weyer thanked the district administration for supplying the equipment necessary for her life sports curriculum and fellow staff members for their cooperation.

Weyer received a desk clock and plaque, and a gift certificate for being named recipient of the sixth outstanding teacher award. Weyer succeeds district media specialists Earl Adams and Marilyn Ramseier, who earned the honor last year. Other past recipients include learning disabilities teacher Darlene Bucheger in 1990, junior high math teacher John Binder in 1989, reading specialist Emily Fijalkiewicz in 1988, and junior high science teacher Harry Channing and fifth grade teacher Jerry Hamm in 1987.
