Hello and welcome to the talk forum from Southeast Missouri located on the banks of the muddy Mississippi River. Someone should be along soon and tell you about the medal.

I doubt it to be a medal, but a remembrance token like current challenge coins issued by Penn. State Ed. As.

Welcome from eastern Ohio.

Welcome!
The 'medal' appears to have been issued by the Pennsylvania State Educational Association, perhaps to honor the 151st Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry (aka "the Teachers Regiment''), whose ranks included many teachers.
I look forward to your perspective in our discussions! Enjoy!

Welcome From The Heart Of Dixie. This medal would have hung from a ribbon and the ribbon would have had the year place and date of the PSEA annual meeting and may have been an award give to certain educators for the achievements that year.

I forgot. Welcome, enjoy
