Ava Best was named as the 2025 Fairfield Lions Club Star Student at a program held last (Tuesday) night at the Fairfield Community of Christ Family Life Center. Ava is the daughter of Ryan and April Best. In recognition of her selection she received a Star Student plaque and a check for $400 from the local Lions Club.
Best named Tammy Austin as her High School Teacher of the Year and Matt Shreve as her Grade School Teacher of the Year for the impact they made on her educational life. Both teachers received recognition plaques.
The Lions Club also recognized North Side School Kindergarten teacher Kerri Meritt as their choice as 2025 Educator of the Year. Meritt received a plaque and a $250 check to use in her classroom from the club.
The Lions Club 60 thanked local educators for their dedication to the students of our community and recognized Fairfield Grade School teachers, Shelly Borah and Kerri Meritt who are both retiring at the end of this school year, for their many years of service to their students.
