The Tri-Lakes Unit of the Missouri Retired Teachers Association selected Roger Frieze as the recipient of the coveted Apple from the Teacher Award.
Frieze, a commercial lender (and former marketing director) at Central Bank of Branson was selected due to the contributions he has made to the children of our community, and to public education.
In a Facebook post, Roger Frieze spoke of receiving this award.
Said Frieze, "I am truly honored and humbled to receive it. So many people deserve the recognition—from my parents who instilled my desire to serve; Karen Hall who would invite me to tag along to the activities she was doing at the school; Billy Nevins who grilled countless hot dogs with me; Central Bank of Branson for providing me the support and flexibility to serve and the list goes on."
Frieze continued, "The largest contributors are my family—Jenny, Devon and Kegan. Without their encouragement and understanding, none of this would be possible. I am truly blessed."
Frieze was presented the award at the most recent meeting of the Tri Lakes Unit of the Missouri Retired Teachers Association, held on November 12.
