During the Sept. 8 Camas City Council meeting, Mayor Scott Higgins proclaimed Sept. 24 Legendary Teacher Day. Set to take place annually on the fourth Thursday in September, Legendary Teacher Day is intended as a time to pay tribute to teachers who impacted learning for children in a positive and memorable way. Following the proclamation Higgins, a lifelong Camas resident, highlighted an educator who influenced his life - his fourth-grade teacher JoLynne Roberts. Roberts taught in the Camas School District from 1979, until her retirement in 2013. "Decisions that I make, I am still influenced by the way she helped me see the world," he said. For more information about Legendary Teacher Day, visit the Camas School District Facebook page or www.camas.wednet.edu.

The Camas and Washougal school districts will be recognizing educators who make a difference on Sept. 24.

“Legendary Teacher Day,” will encourage citizens to contact an educator who impacted their lives in a positive way, whether through email, phone, posting notes of thanks on either of the two district’s Facebook pages, or with Twitter using #teachlegendary.
