October 2025 Teacher of the Month
In cooperation with the Mayor's office and City Council, the Rotary Club of Okla. City recognizes an outstanding teacher in our community.
Carli Schrader, a kindergarten teacher and founding educator at Santa Fe South Trinity Elementary, has been named Teacher of the Month for October 2025 . Carli, a graduate of Oklahoma Christian University, began her teaching career at Santa Fe South Schools, the state’s largest public charter school district, where she played an instrumental role in establishing a strong foundation of excellence in early childhood instruction. Through her vision, creativity, and tireless dedication, Carli has helped to build a community at Trinity Elementary where students are known, loved, and inspired to reach their fullest potential, standing as a model of professional excellence and personal devotion to the mission of Santa Fe South Schools.
Carli’s principal, Dr. Dudley, has recognized her as a phenomenal educator whose classroom consistently demonstrates outstanding academic results while also fostering a nurturing and supportive community where every child feels valued and empowered.
Congratulations, Carli!

World POLIO DAY Oct. 24, 2025Rotary District 5750 is launching the World Polio Day District Challenge with one bold goal: raise $100,000 for the PolioPlus Fund by Friday, October 24, 2025. Every contribution brings us one step closer to a
world free from polio.
👉 my.rotary.org/en/polioplus-fund
(Select PolioPlus Fund and be sure to credit Rotary Club of Okla. City #1709)
This is more than a fundraiser—it’s our chance to make history together. Imagine the impact if each Rotarian in our district raised just $61—we’d hit our $100,000 goal with ease.
Let’s unite to make polio history!
Yours in Rotary Service,
Rotary District 5750
