Editor’s note: The Plaindealer has continued the tradition we’ve had the last few years of inviting new teachers at both Ridgway and Ouray school districts to introduce themselves in the paper. We hope you’ll recognize these community leaders around town and say hello after meeting them here! This week’s edition features Ridgway educators. We’ll profile Ouray educators in next week’s edition.
