The Cory-Rawson Local Board of Education was proud to recognize two area businesses as part of the OSBA Business Honor Roll program at the June board meeting.
The first was All-Star Heating and Plumbing. All-Star is a long-time supporter of Cory-Rawson in a variety of ways. Most recently, the company was generous in providing expertise as a third-party as the district planned a large HVAC project. All-Star did not benefit financially from the project, but owner Verl Warnimont was more than willing to attend meetings, study plans, and walkthrough with contractors to ensure our taxpayer dollars were invested wisely.
The board also recognized Grob Systems. Grob's partnership has focused on educational opportunities provided to our students. Throughout the year, Grob is here on our campus - whether that be working with elementary classrooms on STEM activities, providing an army of volunteers at our Amazing Shake, presenting for career development, working with 7th grade STEM students at their plant, or through financial support of initiatives such as our Tinkering Festival.
Thanks to both businesses for their partnership.
The Board of Education presented its Green & Gold Apple Awards at last night's meeting. This annual agenda item recognizes our students who achieve state-level recognition. Congratulations to these Hornets:

At our All-Staff Breakfast this morning, Cory-Rawson Local Schools recognized three outstanding staff members:
🌟Jeanine Lewis is our outstanding teacher for 2024-25. Mrs. Lewis goes above and beyond both in and out of the classroom collaborating, coordinating, leading, embracing change. She works hard to create opportunities for all Cory-Rawson Elementary School students.
🌟Food service employee Stephanie Nonnamaker is one of our two outstanding support staff members. She is described as a team player who maintains a positive attitude and is a hard worker. Stephanie does a great job at building relationships with our students.
🌟April Sybert, district secretary, was recognized as an outstanding support staff member. Her nomination stated, "When April is involved, “you can trust that everything will turn out perfectly.”. She ensures questions are answered thoroughly and if she isn’t sure on something, she finds the answer. Mr. Clark added that she’s the finest proofreader this side of the Mississippi.
