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

This week's winner is Katy Neff at Vernon Middle School in Marion!

She was nominated by Gidget/Katie Hagmeier. They wrote:

"Katy Neff is one teacher that works with every student to further their education and social skills. Two of my children have had her for a teacher and she was amazing! One of my kids was very quiet and she would take the time to talk to him every day in class to make him comfortable. She has so much positive energy every day when she teaches, and she is a great role model for the kids. I think she needs to be thanked for all her hard work, and to know that it is paying off!!!"

Congratulations to Katy for being our teacher of the week! She wins gift cards to Wild Hogs in Walford, Pecks Flower and Garden Shop, and Kathy’s Pies!
