Elm Heights honors 'Century Club' substitutes who covered more than 2,500 classroom openings
Summary
At the June 17 meeting the Elm Heights School Board recognized 20 substitute teachers—called the 'Century Club'—who each completed at least 100 assignments this year, together covering over 2,500 classroom openings. Several substitutes introduced themselves by name.
The Elm Heights School Board recognized a group of 20 substitute teachers on June 17 who collectively completed more than 2,500 assignments during the school year.
Frank Alro introduced the Century Club and noted that members have completed at least 100 assignments during the year; the district runs roughly 171–172 school days at different levels, so these substitutes covered substantial classroom time. Frank Stage added that the Century Club members demonstrate strong commitment to continuity and the district’s history.
Several substitutes introduced themselves by name during the recognition, including Elfie Merig, Mary Rodriguez ("Miss Mary"), Kathleen Krauss ("Miss H."), Candy Short, Cynthia George ("Miss Jay"), Andreas Hill ("Mr. Hill"), Sonia Sanchez ("Miss Sanchez"), Holly Hint, Terry Joe (who said "I'm nurse Julia or Miss Julia"), and James Tower ("Mr. T"). The board presented plaques and invited the group to take photos.
Earlier in the meeting a recent graduate, Ty Edwards, spoke about returning to Alamo Heights schools and credited the district and staff with helping shape his future. "Alamo Heights as a school district and a community have been the biggest influence in my life," Edwards said.
The board thanked the substitutes for their service and recognized the role they play in ensuring continuity when teachers are absent.
