NEW AGENT: Greg Demary is the latest real estate agent to join Cedar One Realty.

Despite being a transplant to the area, Demary has made the Ohio Valley his home. He received his real estate license from Hondros College after earning a bachelor's degree at the Franciscan University of Steubenville in the fall of 2018. He has a long-standing interest in real estate and dedication to customer satisfaction.

Apart from serving his community as a real estate agent, Demary volunteers regularly with a local nonprofit, the Harmonium Project, working to support local community events and performances, particularly those related to theater and the arts. He and his wife, Emily, live in Steubenville.

Demary can be contacted at Cedar One's Wintersville office, at (832) 833-3705.

MASTER TEACHER: Jami Packer, a math teacher at Brooke Middle School, has been selected for West Virginia University's Mathematics Master Teacher Fellowship Program.

Packer is one of 19 educators from 17 counties participating through a $3 million grant from the National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program.

During the five-year program, Packer will continue to work at her school while learning effective teaching approaches from Matthew Campbell, WVU assistant professor of education; and Joanna Burt Kinderman, an instructional coach for Pocohontas County recognized for her educational leadership in 2019 by Education Week.

"The Brooke County Schools community is extremely proud of Packer for what she does in and out of the classroom to make sure all her students are successful in the classroom," said Jeffrey Crook, Brooke County superintendent. "The fellowship is extremely beneficial for the entire district because of the shared instructional best practices that will occur across the Sstate of West Virginia. Packer is an ambassador for mathematics instruction and we truly appreciate her participation in the fellows program."
