SUBMITTED PHOTO Through a student intern program at Beech Grove High School, Weston Taylor (left) is learning what it takes to run a shoe store from Jim Coffman, who owns Eckstein Shoe Store on Main Street. Taylor is perfecting his customer service skills by answering the phone, marking shipments, running the cash register and assisting clients. He interns two or three days a week during the last three hours of his school day. “It’s important to make customers feel important,” said Taylor, who added that Coffman is a wonderful mentor and a friend.

Julie A. Perigo, who teaches art at Our Lady of the Greenwood Catholic School, has been awarded a $12,000 Lilly Endowment Teacher Creativity Fellowship.
She will use the grant to study Eastern Christian icon painting under the tutelage of Charles Henri Rohrbacher of Juneau, Alaska, for four weeks in June, followed by a two-week retreat at St. Anthony Retreat Center near Sequoia National Park in California. Perigo, an art instructor at the school since 1997, is one of 100 teachers to receive a grant through the program this year. Since its inception in 1987, more than 2,000 Indiana teachers, principals, guidance counselors and media specialists/librarians have received scholarships. |
