Former Sherrard teacher, Ramona McMeekan, was recently honored for 20 years of volunteer service with “Ag in the Classroom,” an initiative to teach children about agriculture through the Mercer County Farm Bureau.
Connie Lord, Ag in the Classroom volunteer, surprised McMeekan with a plaque at Sherrard Elementary where McMeekan formerly taught. She also taught at Coyne Center and served in the Sherrard School District for 40 years.
McMeekan thought she would be attending the “Ag in the Classroom” taught by volunteer, Tracy Wyant (Principal Casey Wyant’s mom), just for fun, to observe and enjoy the second graders learning about horses – when Principal Wyant introduced her to students and Lord stepped up to talk about McMeekan’s accomplishments.
Her husband, sister, daughter, granddaughter, and great granddaughter (second grader, Evelyn Hebel) were all in attendance to witness the special moment.
