Lakin Teacher Award Nominations Sought

March 31, 2017 Deadline

For the past 9 years, KMA and the Green Hills Area Education Agency have presented the Charles E. Lakin Outstanding Teacher Award. Four instructors within a 40-mile radius of Emerson --Lakin's hometown--receive the awards each year for efforts in enticing students to come to school each day. 

With this spring's process, the Lakins will have awarded more than $330,000 to area teachers and their associated school districts over the last 9 years. 

Winners will be announced in May. No announcements will be made prior to the actual presentation. Teachers nominated for the Award will not be notified of their nomination. A total of 4 primary awards (2 for elementary schools and 2 for secondary schools) will be awarded. The winning teachers will receive $10,000 each and $2500 for their schools.
