USD #109 Calling for TOTY Nominations
USD #109 is calling for nominations for Teacher of the Year. The school district will be recognizing a teacher from PK-6 and 7-12 divisions. The winning teacher in each division will be recognized locally and have the opportunity to move on to the state level for the Kansas Teacher of the Year competition.
Additionally, USD #109 will also recognize classified staff members of the year. The classified staff will be split into two divisions: instructional (paras) and non-instructional (secretaries, custodians, cooks, bus drivers).
Nominations may be made by students, parents, staff members and/or community members. A nomination should consist of a one page statement as to why the teacher should be selected as Teacher of the Year. A committee consisting of teachers, community members and board members will serve as the selection committee.
Questions and Nominations can be submitted to Mr. Lyder at the District Office at 1205 19th Street, Belleville, KS 66935 or emailed to llyder@usd109.org. All nominations must be submitted by February 18, 2022 by 4pm.

Painting by Brylee Judy, a senior at Republic County. I watched this student almost everyday in December, literally paint this tractor with a paint brush that had (not even kidding you) one bristle. What’s even more impressive, is she’s giving it away! We drew names for a Christmas art exchange in class. She made this piece based on a fellow student’s interests...tractors and women 🤣
This piece will be on display at the Dane Hansen Art Museum January 28-February 27th. If you are in Logan I encourage you to check out RepCo student’s work. You won’t be disappointed!!!
The RCHS forensics team hosted a fabulous tournament today attended by 11 area schools. We are excited to get started with our competitive season next Saturday after some much needed rest!
