The Nyssa SD 26 board meeting began with a series of recognitions.
Teachers and presenters named James Ward middle‑school student of the month and read commendations highlighting his academic effort, behavior and athletics. Staff also nominated Morgan De Leon for employee recognition, praising 13 years of counseling service, extra hours supporting students, and leadership as the girls wrestling coach that doubled participation.
