Strenger named Champion for Children

Thermopolis Middle School sixth grade teacher Jacob Strenger was named as the fourth Bobcat Champion for Children for the year.

The Champion for Children program is replacing the Teacher of the Month award that has been in place for several years.

With the new program, a committee consisting of past District Teachers of the Year and parents receive nominations from the principals at all three schools.

The committee then researches the nominations by visiting with the nominee’s colleagues, students and even community members, then submit their recommendation to Superintendent Dustin Hunt.

Champion for Children has now been awarded four times this year to Strenger, Alex McLean, Stephanie Czarobski and Tom Olsen.

District Teacher of the Year will be chosen from the four.
