Person of the Week

Jill Trower

The Vandalia Leader recognizes the “Person of the Week” that has been nominated by the readers. The criteria is someone that is giving back by being a productive and caring member of the community.
This week’s “Person of the Week” is Mrs. Jill Trower.
She is a second grade teacher at Van-Far Elementary and has been teaching for 10 years. Trower  is also a member of the Van-Far Teachers Association (VFTA) and Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). She has also coached basketball in the past.
“I just love working with kids and I love working with the people at this school. I’m a people person, so I like to help people who are in need,” Trower said.
Outside of school, Trower is the leader of the children and youth ministries at Curryville Baptist Church.
