During the Sept. 8 Camas City Council meeting, Mayor Scott Higgins proclaimed Sept. 24 Legendary Teacher Day. Set to take place annually on the fourth Thursday in September, Legendary Teacher Day is intended as a time to pay tribute to teachers who impacted learning for children in a positive and memorable way. Following the proclamation Higgins, a lifelong Camas resident, highlighted an educator who influenced his life - his fourth-grade teacher JoLynne Roberts. Roberts taught in the Camas School District from 1979, until her retirement in 2013. "Decisions that I make, I am still influenced by the way she helped me see the world," he said.
