Our December Team Player Tuesday recognitions are Sharon Buehler and Justin Dreyer! 💚🤍🏴☠️
Sharon Buehler is a Career Skills Instructor with the Perryville Area Career & Technology Center- PACTC . Her nominator said: "Sharon plays a crucial role in preparing students for placement assessments and certification exams that can open doors to both college and the workforce, ensuring that our students graduate with every possible advantage. What makes Sharon stand out even more is the way she cares for people. She is the first to notice the value that others bring to the table, and she never hesitates to offer encouragement, a helping hand, or a listening ear. All of us who are lucky enough to work with her know we can count on her to lift us up, just as all of our students know they can count on her to push them toward success."
Justin Dreyer serves a dual role as an Assistant Principal and Athletic Director at Perryville High School. His nominator said, "Justin Dreyer is an outstanding example of a true team player. His dedication to our athletics and activities programs often happens behind the scenes, but his impact is felt by students, staff, and families alike. Justin consistently goes above and beyond; often working long hours, managing countless details, and ensuring every event runs smoothly. His commitment, dependability, and pride in our school make him an invaluable part of our team."

The Perryville High School Silver Dagger Players invite everyone to their performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" next Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Nov. 6-8 at the Perry Park Center. 🎭💚🤍
All performances begin at 7 p.m. and tickets will be sold at the door for $7, general seating.
According to the Silver Dagger Players, this is not the dramatic Shakespeare people may be accustomed to. It is his funniest comedy with lots of misunderstandings, love potions, and spells being cast in both a fairy world and a human world.
This show will be most appropriate for anyone fifth grade and up, but there is enough action happening, that it should hold the attention of younger audience members too. Language warning — there is a reference to the other word for donkey several times during the play.
