Mustang Board honors district teachers, students, robotics and arts winners
Summary
The superintendent's report recognized school-level teachers of the year (including district teacher of the year Christian Kelly), students of the month across elementary and intermediate schools, and winners in robotics and fine-arts competitions.
The superintendent's report at the Mustang Board of Education meeting highlighted district awards for teachers and students.
School-level teachers of the year from across the district were recognized by name and invited to the front of the meeting for an applause and photos; the board named Christian Kelly of Mustang High School as the district teacher of the year. Staff described the teacher awards as peer-nominated and committee-voted honors. The report also recognized support employees and invited the district's honorees to be publicly acknowledged.
Students of the month and character-trait winners from multiple elementary and intermediate schools were called forward for certificates so parents could take photos. Examples cited in the meeting included Bailey Johnson (Centennial Elementary) for honesty, Taryn Wentz (Creek Elementary) for honesty, and Charlie Byler (Riverwood Elementary) for perseverance. The board also congratulated winners of the FIRST LEGO League Challenge, noting teams such as the Archeologist DIVAS (robot design winners) and Crimson Trousse (core-values award), and recognized district students who earned Scholastic Art and Writing Awards and state-level honors.
Board members and staff thanked teachers, coaches and parents for mentoring students in academics, robotics and the arts and encouraged families to remain for the business portion of the meeting or retrieve children in the lobby if they left early. The recognitions were presented before the business agenda and drew applause from the audience.
