Honoring Teachers Who Drive Us Forward

Outstanding Educators in Cedar Rapids

This September, Cassill Motors launched the Teachers Drive Us Forward program to recognize and celebrate the incredible educators in Cedar Rapids and surrounding areas. We invited the community to nominate outstanding teachers, and the response was overwhelming! Each week, we randomly selected one educator to receive a $250 Cassill Motors Service Credit, which can be used for any of our services—including oil changes, tire purchases, and more. (And honestly, who wouldn’t love a year’s worth of free oil changes?)

The heartfelt stories we received touched us deeply, and we’re excited to honor the following five educators:

• Glenda Moleski, West Willow Elementary
• Loan Arkenburg, Trailside Elementary
• Susan Scharnau Schultejans, Linn Grove Elementary
• Caityn Greer, Isaac Newton Christian Academy
• Ann Hoefer, Van Buren Elementary

Each of these teachers exemplifies dedication, creativity, and compassion in the classroom, and they were truly moved by the thoughtful nominations submitted on their behalf.

To all the teachers out there, we salute you! Thank you for your tireless commitment, hard work, and care. You continue to inspire us and drive our community forward every day.
