‘Just fabulous': Jacobs receives 2025 Centerville teacher award
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — An Centerville City Schools educator has been recognized by the district for her dedication with teaching.
During the district's Board of Education meeting on Monday, Sarah Jacobs was named the district's '2025 Teacher of the Year.' Jacobs, a first grade teacher at Primary Village North, has been teaching in the district for 23 years.
According to Jacobs, seeing students learn new things is important.
'The biggest thing is just teaching kids the love for learning,' said Jacobs. 'At this age, they already have a natural curiosity and wonder about the world. Seeing the world through six- and seven-year-olds' eyes is inspiring and exciting.'
Mindy Cline, principal at Primary Village North, said watching what Jacobs can do is inspirational.
'Every decision that Sarah makes is about kids and about their families,' said Cline. 'She plans such exciting and engaging lessons. When I walk into her classroom, it is just fabulous to see the joy of student learning on all of the kids' faces.'
The first grade teacher's credentials will be examined by a state panel for her chance at the 2026 Ohio Teacher of the Year. The winner of the state award will be announced in the coming months.

WPAFB working to combat forever chemicals, water contamination
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Wright-Patterson Air Force Base officials gave 2 NEWS an inside look at efforts to combat forever chemicals in their water. Wright-Patt is working to reduce water contamination on base through several water treatment sites. This comes after the EPA updated the maximum PFAS containment levels in 2024. Trump administration moves to roll back Biden-era PFAs water protections PFAS stands for Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are synthetic compounds with properties to repel oil, water and other liquids. This water contamination comes from 'film forming foam' used in firefighting, wastewater treatment plants, agricultural runoff and more. The Air Force Base plans to have five treatment sites in total — currently, two are active. WPAFB has treated more than 31 million gallons of water so far. The deadline to meet the new EPA standards is 2029. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
