The
second-grade students in room 20 at Lindbergh Schweitzer Elementary can
now call their teacher either Mr. Patton or Mr. City Councilman. Bobby
Patton is the newly elected City Councilmember for Imperial Beach. Running for office proved to be a learning experience for himself and his students. Read more.
“My
students definitely learned about the voting and campaigning process,”
said Patton. "They learned it takes a lot of hard work, that you need to
give 125 percent in all that you do, be fair and kind to everyone, and
win or lose, it is a great learning experience."
Patton
will continue teaching at Lindbergh Schweitzer where he has been 20
years, all at Lindbergh Schweitzer, and is a perfect role model for his
students. Not only does he teach about serving for the greater good in
his classroom every day, he exemplifies the importance of serving one’s
community. The students and staff at Lindbergh Schweitzer are very proud
of his accomplishment.
