Larry VonBehren Named Walmart's "Teacher of the Year"
Larry VonBehren was recently named as Pekin Walmart's "Teacher of the Year." Mr. VonBehren's students nominated him and wrote a persuasive essay on why he should receive this honor. Walmart then notified Mr. VonBehren that he had been selected. Walmart chooses only one "Teacher of the Year" each year. Mr. VonBehren received a cash award of $500 dollars, which he graciously donated to the Outdoor Education fund.
