Board recognized Ms. Kim Eacret, first grade teacher, for her life-saving actions. On January 10, 2020 at Stephen Decatur Elementary, Ms. Eacret quickly responded to a student in need, recognizing that she was choking, and performed abdominal thrusts. Her awareness and quick response saved a life that day. We are Decatur Proud to have Ms. Eacret on our team and are grateful for her actions.
Dr. Prusiecki displayed the 2019 Community Recognition Award that was presented to the district during the Decatur Township Fire Department’s award banquet. This award was given in appreciation of the district’s partnership with the fire department.
