— Congratulations are in order for Courtney Cramer, a fifth-grade science teacher at Park Avenue Elementary School, who has been named Danville Public Schools' District Teacher of the Year.

Cramer, a five-year teaching veteran, holds a bachelor's degree from Mary Baldwin University with an endorsement in elementary education. Before entering the teaching profession, she worked in the golf and landscaping industry.

Beyond the classroom, Cramer is involved in the community as a member of the VFW Post 647 Ladies Auxiliary.

At Park Avenue Elementary, Cramer serves as a teacher leader and has led professional learning community workshops focusing on classroom management and STEMscopes.

She hopes to continue building a culture at Park Avenue where science is not simply taught, but experienced by students.

This year's recognition came with an extra surprise.

For the first time, Danville Public Schools partnered with Bisbee Honda of Danville, which will provide Cramer with a vehicle to use throughout her tenure as District Teacher of the Year.

The vehicle was presented during Thursday night's Teacher of the Year banquet.

Danville Public Schools expressed its appreciation to Scott Bisbee and his team for their generosity and continued partnership in recognizing outstanding educators.

Congratulations to Courtney Cramer!
