Adjunct painting instructor highlighted in WFRV "Terrific Teacher" segment

Adjunct instructor Bunny Peplinski was nominated for WFRV's "Terrific Teacher" segment by her painting students at the Central Regional Learning Center. Reporter Erin Davisson visited the classroom for a Jan. 17th feature. (You can view the clip at http://www.wfrv.com/content/news/teachers/default.aspx)

Central Region Coordinator Vicky Oldham noted, "Some of Bunny’s students contacted Erin because they wanted to let her know what a terrific teacher they had for Painting Classes in Crivitz. Bunny teaches “Business-Painting Media” classes (non credit) in Crivitz..."

Vicky said students seem to appreciate Bunny's easy-going style and her motto that you don't make mistakes - you have learning experiences. "Students of all ages enjoy the classes; a group of 3 sisters (one in her eighties) come every weekl. The classes have become so popular that our Region had to add extra sections to accommodate the students; currently, six courses are held each week and classes fill to capacity. Students drive from as far away as DePere and Florence!"

Erin and her crew were here for about an hour … Approximately 25 of her students were on hand, and we put on a little “art show” in our vacant classroom to highlight some of their projects."
