Teacher Recognition
Oxnard Rotarians joined in presenting our very first teacher recognition basket for this year to Josh Steiner, a teacher at Rio Vista Middle School. Mr. Steiner begins each day teaching a study skills class to students in need of extra support and also serves as the school’s Athletic Coordinator. Mr. Steiner is a caring and positive teacher, and always has that “can do” attitude. Mr. Steiner is committed to helping his students improve themselves both in the class and on the playing field.
