MONTEVALLO – The Montevallo Chamber of Commerce held its monthly luncheon on Wednesday, April 16, with this month’s installment of the luncheon honoring Montevallo’s premier educators.

The Montevallo Education Appreciation Luncheon honored three separate teachers who serve the communities of Montevallo with caring and professional education. Sadie Kinlecheenie, Dr. Wanda Young-Lowe and Rylee Holt were the teachers honored. Kinlecheenie teaches at Montevallo Elementary, Young-Lowe at Montevallo Middle and Holt at Montevallo High.

All three teachers were previously honored at the 2024 Shelby County Schools Teachers of the Year in Dec. 2024, with Young-Lowe winning Middle School Teacher of the Year and Holt winning High School Teacher of the Year.

At the luncheon, each honored teacher received a certificate of appreciation. The luncheon’s food consisted of a meal crafted by Indigo Café & Bar.

Adele Nelson, the executive director of the Montevallo Chamber of Commerce, outlined why the Chamber of Commerce chose this theme for the monthly luncheon and how it aligns with the Chamber’s mission.

“Montevallo schools are a huge part of the Montevallo community,” Nelson said. “The Montevallo Chamber of Commerce’s mission is to increase community vitality through the recruitment and support of business.”
