BG Kiwanis Club to recognize inspirational educator from Crim

(Submitted by BG Kiwanis Club)

The annual inspirational educator month for the Bowling Green Kiwanis Club begins this Thursday with its noon luncheon at Stone Ridge Golf Club.

Three inspirational educators have been selected by the teachers and staff from the Bowling Green School District and will be honored by the Kiwanis Club each of the next three Thursdays.  There is one honoree each from the elementary schools, the middle school and the high school.

This week’s honoree is Erica Blust, a reading teacher at Crim Elementary School.  She was selected because of how she has worked patiently with struggling young readers.

A native of Northeast Ohio, Blust earned her bachelor’s degree from Youngstown State University and her master’s degree from Bowling Green State University.

She has 14 years of experience as classroom teacher and reading specialist.  She joined the Bowling Green School District in 2008 at Ridge Elementary for four years and is in her eighth year at Crim.
