Leadership at Alma Schrader

How very proud I am of the leadership from Dr. Ruth Ann Orr, Julia Unnerstall, Rebecca Gentry and the entire staff at Alma Schrader School. They continue to seek out new methods to involve their students in ways that will develop these young lives into responsible, contributing adults in our great city.

Alma Schrader celebrated its 15th Annual Constitution Day and Heroes Recognition Assembly last week. Not only did they educate their students on the importance of our Constitution, they allowed the students to introduce their own heroes!

Alma Schrader is to be congratulated and recognized for their visible and measurable efforts in educating our young children, and instilling in them personal responsibility, teamwork, as well as character-building traits.

Dr. Carlos Vargas, President of Southeast Missouri State University, delivered the keynote address, with leaders from our city helping to make this a special day; Mayor Harry Rediger, Kevin Greaser, Jay Knudtson and Lt. Col. Glen Schneider, USM (Ret.). Alma Schrader has a major attribute that sets it apart: dynamic and effective leadership. For all you do Alma Schrader, this word is for you: Thanks!
