​TWENTYNINE PALMS ROTARY HONORS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER OF THE MONTH

The Rotary Club of Twentynine Palms recently honored the “Teacher of the month” in support of excellence in local education. Twentynine Palms Junior High School Principal Derek Swem said he selected Carrie Cole as the “Teacher of the Month” because of her outstanding work and dedication. Swem said Cole makes a big difference for success for students with an active in-depth English program and in the classroom with a positive attitude and well-prepared instruction.

Cole thanked the Rotary Club and said the community support was appreciated and inspirational.

Rotarian John Cole, the chairman of the Teacher of the Month committee, presented Cole with a certificate and a gift card from the club. Supporting the youth of the community is one of the priorities of the Rotary Club.

Founded in 1948, the Twentynine Palms Rotary Club is the oldest service club in the Morongo Basin. Dedicated to community service, they meet Wednesdays at noon at the Little Church of the Desert Meeting Hall. More information is available at www.rotary29.org
