Teachers are Heroes: Ms. VanDam


Congratulations to Lemon Crest teacher Ms.Van Dam for being selected as a KSON "Teachers are Heroes" recipient!

Her nomination letter included the following:


Ms VanDam is an amazing teacher.  My granddaughter is in 3rd grade and had a horrible attendance record, but with [Ms Van Dam] she never wants to miss school, she is catching up to her grade level. My granddaughter just loves school now. I think that, in itself should be acknowledged for this amazing teacher.


We are very proud of Leslie for receiving this special honor.

The Honors Continue!

In addition to the Teacher of the Year recipients that we posted about on Friday, we have two other special employees to honor:

We are honored to announce our Classified Employee of the Year is Sheila Remers. Sheila works for our ESS Department and will do whatever is needed across the District. She has filled in for the Business Office on multiple occasions, saving the district valuable time and money. In addition, she helped us spruce up our board room by sewing beautiful blue curtains to hang on the front tables.



We are also honored to announce our District Reading Teacher of the Year, Tina Hober. Tina is a teacher at Lakeside Farms and has inspired a love of reading in her students. She is passionate about learning and teaching, and her students excel under her love and support. When she's not inspiring students to be all that they can be, she is also inspiring our new teachers as the BTSA (Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment)lead for our district. This year over 20 new teachers benefitted from her guidance!
