Mr. Reiss Clintonville Volunteer of the Year
|
|
BWHS science teacher Will Reiss has been named Clintonville ThisWeek Booster Community Volunteer of the Year for 2015. He will be honored at the Clintonville Area Chamber of Commerce "Celebrate Clintonville" Awards Dinner & Silent Auction on Friday, March 6, 2015.
Mr. Reiss has made a great impact not just in the classes he teaches but by creating a culture of recycling within the school community. He has worked tirelessly to reduce the amount of trash and increase the recycling efforts, resulting in greater awareness, change of behavior and positive financial impact.
"We are so happy that Will is being recognized in the community," said Principal Marian Hutson. "His quiet, consistent dedication to caring for the environment God gave us has been an example to our students and staff alike."
