Mrs. Feight’s 7th grade science classes completing lab stations in the new gym!

Hillsboro has asked that our boys parents show up to the game Friday sometime during the second half of the girls game. They will not turn parents away if they show up earlier but do not want boys parents in the gym at the tip off the girls game. This will be the same for Saturday's games here.

7th grade is loving their final project...Hydro dipping, vinyl, and resin cups!

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 15, 2021 by 4pm.
