Fleming, Kansas City; Carla Goertzen, Buhler; Sherry L. Helus, Wamego; Michael C. Pickman, La Cygne; and Elizabeth A. Roberts, Wichita.
The Kansas Teacher of the Year Award is sponsored by the Kansas Department of Education to recognize excellent teaching in the elementary and secondary classrooms of the state. Its mission is to build and utilize a network of exemplary teachers who are leaders in the improvement of schools, student performance, and the teaching profession.
Saints Promoting Education Careers (SPEC) will host the team’s appearance on campus. Light refreshments will be provided and everyone is invited to attend this free event. For more information, call or email SPEC sponsor Janice Northerns at 620-417-1456
