Alma Schrader recognized for 2nd national award

The Cape Girardeau Public School Board, during its November monthly meeting, recognized Alma Schrader Elementary School staff and students for their second national award from Character Education Partnership. This year's award was for the school's anti-bullying program. Last year the school was lauded for its Constitution Day program. "Principal Ruth Ann Orr and Counselor Julia Unnerstall bring pride to the community and honor to its heroes every year through their Constitution Day program," said Superintendent Jim Welker. "They have again received national recognition, and it's richly deserved."
