🌟Elementary Staff Spotlight🌟 Mrs. Vicky Olterman Librarian "It is such a blessing to work in the district and community that I grew up in.  As the schools' librarian, what I enjoy most would be reading to the classes and seeing the students become captivated by the story.  The look on a child's face when they are fully engaged and you have captured their attention and imagination with a book is priceless." Thank you, Mrs. Vicky!
