Our community winner for the month of November is Mr. Matt Klingner. Mr. Klingner graduated from Putnam County High School and went on to the University of Missouri, where he received his degree in agriculture.

He has been teaching and coaching at Putnam County for 13 years now. Mr. Klingner and his wife Michelle have four children that keep them busy.
