Today we recognized these teachers during our grit awards. During this school year these teachers have worked very hard completing Part 1 to LETRS training. LETRS is a professional learning course for instructors of reading, spelling, and related language skills. It provides educators with in-depth knowledge and tools that they can use with any reading program. This training required many hours outside of school watching videos, reading, and applying new skills in the classroom. They also attended four days of training. Thank you Misty Baker, Raechel Bruna, Emma Tryon, Jill Keesecker, Sonja Frager, Andrea Walter, Steve Wright, Emily Lucas, Noreen Rundle, Nicole Goeckel, Staci Peters, Tricia Gauby, Kate Hedke, Tawni Myers, Kim Miller, and Brandy McCubbin for all your hard work on this great accomplishment!

Accounting students spent the day at the Explore Accounting for high school students day at KSU. The students listened to accountants, the advantages of an accounting degree, and went on a scavenger hunt throughout the College of Business to meet instructors and the Assistant Dean all before a catered lunch. They ended the day experiencing a class with an Excel lesson taught by an college instructor. Shout out to former students Lauren Simmons, Drew Buhrman and Sean Bruna for helping with logistics this morning.
