Do you know an area teacher making a huge impact in the lives of their students? Nominate them for the KHAK Teacher of the Week Award!

This week's winner is Lisa Welsh from Viola Gibson Elementary in Cedar Rapids! She was nominated by a fellow teacher, Jeana Lane! Here is what she wrote.

"This is a different nomination as Lisa is my teammate and I consider her a mentor. I have taught for 14 years and have on Lisa's team for four. She is my shoulder to lean on, ear for listening, and mentor when I need help with a student or lesson. Any student would be lucky to have her as a teacher. She deserves recognition for her dedication to her students and her willingness to go above and beyond every day."

Congratulations to Lisa for being our Teacher of the Week! She wins gift cards to Wild Hogs in Walford, Pecks Flower and Garden Center in Cedar Rapids, and Kathy's Pies in Cedar Rapids!
