American Education Week is fully underway in Emporia.
A team of USD 253 Emporia administrators and representatives of Emporia NEA and Emporia State Federal Credit Union stopped by every school and district building as part of the annual cookie delivery. Community Relations Director Lyndel Landgren says the cookies are a way to recognize the hard work done by teachers and staff in and out of the classroom.
As was the case the past two years, KVOE participated by doing phone interviews with building representatives.
Once again, this will be followed by the annual KVOE-National Teachers Hall of Fame Radio Auction taking place Thursday from the Emporia State Federal Credit Union’s Industrial Road location. The radio auction begins around 6:05 pm Thursday on 14 KVOE, 96.9 FM and KVOE-TV at KVOE.com. An online auction continues through noon Monday. Information is online at nthf.org.
