A K-8 school in Swedeborg, Missouri, has been renamed after its longtime custodian who will retire in July. The Swedeborg District III Elementary School building was renamed the “Claudene Wilson Learning Center” to honor her more than 32 years of service to the school of 40 students. The 64-year-old has also been a handywoman, plumber and bus driver. School board president Chuck Boren was in grade 8 when she started at the school in 1992. “It’s not just that the school was part of Claudene, but Claudene is part of the school,” he says. “It’s awesome that someone that’s been here, spent their whole life, for 30 years working at one place and having all those connections mean something,” says new teacher Jacob Miller.
