Student Spotlight - Bella Whitlock
The second annual Miss Kansas Volunteer Pageant honors a Lansing High School Student. Bella Whitlock is the Ms. Leavenworth Teen and was crowned Miss Kansas Teen Volunteer. She is awarded a $1,500 scholarship.
Bella is a Senior at Lansing High School and plans to pursue a degree in business. The Miss Kansas Volunteer Pageant is a state-wide, service- oriented, scholarship program seeking to empower young women through education and opportunity. Its five principles are resented by the five points on the Miss and Teen crowns:
- Scholarship
- Education
- Responsibility
- Volunteerism
- Empowerment
Bella now has the opportunity to compete in the National Miss Teen Volunteer America Pageant this Spring in Jackson, Tennessee.
Congrats Mr. James - This week's Staff Spotlight
We're excited to share with you all the great things our staff members do for our students and community. This week we feature Matt James (nominated by Teri Hassert):
"Mr. James was hired just a few days before school started. Coming in as a new teacher here, he was very confident in his subject area. He teaches in a way the students get him. He never skips a beat while teaching; keeping the kids engaged, he has great control of his classroom. As a paraprofessional in his class, I know firsthand that he goes above and beyond to consider the needs of students; he makes accommodations for the two students with which I work to ensure their success. He is so patient with them, as well as with the other students. Mr. James is always checking in on each student in his room. Even with challenging and rowdy students, at times, Mr. James handles it well, building connections with each student. I absolutely love the interactions he has with his students in the classroom. Outstanding job, Mr. James!"
Each week we'll thank a staff member in our Weekly Update. If you would like to nominate a staff member for the great things they are doing for our school, please email the information to alan.penrose@usd469.net.
