This summer, Forts Pond Elementary School first grade teacher Mrs. Beth Guier was chosen to be on Wheel of Fortune. The show aired on September 11 and she came in second place. She traveled to Hollywood this summer for Teacher’s Week. She did an awesome job on the show.

To the person who damaged the granite bench and knocked it partially from the brick base at the Ruritan Veterans Memorial: shame on you. And thanks to Tim Treaster for making arrangements with Ron Clamp to have this damage repaired. Also, thanks to Dwight Rish for replacing the burned-out light at the base of the flag.
