Congratulations to Patricia Blain, who teaches kindergarten at Wayside, on being selected by her peers as the Wayside Teacher of the Year. Jori Swanson, who teaches first grade at Wayside, was selected as the Rising Star Teacher, a recognition for outstanding teachers with less than five years of experience.
The honorees will be celebrated at a public program on Thursday, April 6 on Rigdon Field at Doenges Memorial Stadium in a fun baseball-themed event starting at 5:30 p.m. when the District Teacher of the Year and District Rising Star Teacher will be announced.
The program will also include recognition of the Kurt Schmoldt Teacher Appreciation Award recipient; nominations for that award are open to the public and due February 22.
