According to the Daily Chronicle, Kelly Zerby, a P.E. Teacher at Jefferson Elementary School in DeKalb has won a prestigious award! Zerby was named the 2022 Midwest Elementary P.E. Teacher of the Year. The Illinois Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation & Dance has given her this award and they said it is for a teacher who exemplifies “outstanding instructional performance for elementary, middle and secondary school physical education as well as in adapted, dance, health, and adventure education.” This also qualifies her for the National Elementary P.E. Teacher of the Year award. That will be announced in April in New Orleans, Louisiana. Congratulations on this amazing achievement!
