Mrs. Malone and Mrs. Batman’s 6th grade classes have spent the past couple weeks hosting many community members who graciously took time out of their busy schedules to chat about their careers and what their day-to-day entails. The visitors ranged from Zoo Managers and Air Force Pilots to lawyers and chiropractors…and all the things in between!
A huge thank you to everyone who came out and chatted with our 6th graders! We asked the students what they enjoyed most about career week:
“Getting to learn about a BUNCH of different and interesting things that I have never even thought about before” - Ryan B.
“The Police and K-9 Unit, because it was fun to see the presentation” - Hailey M.
“Getting to learn about the different jobs” - Logan W.

Three Nebraska Teachers Chosen as State Finalists
for Presidential Teaching Award
Three Nebraska teachers have been selected as state finalists for the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST), the nation’s highest honor for K–12 science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and/or computer science teachers.
This year applicants from K – 6 mathematics, science, technology, engineering and/or computer science classrooms could apply. The awards program is administered by the National Science Foundation (NSF) on behalf of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. The NE State Selection Committee advanced three state finalists for eligibility for the national award.
Megan Mullen from Paxton Consolidated Schools, Miranda Orellana from Riley Elementary, Lincoln Public Schools, and Thomas McChristian from Bennet Elementary in Palmyra District OR-1 will represent Nebraska.
State Finalists represent the most outstanding teachers Nebraska has to offer and serve as both a model and an inspiration to students and fellow teachers.
Each year, a national committee of prominent mathematicians, scientists, education researchers, district level personnel, and classroom teachers recommends up to 108 teachers to receive PAEMST awards.
Up to two teachers—mathematics or science—from each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Territories, and schools operated by the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) receive the national award. Teachers who are selected as PAEMST national awardees receive a trip to Washington, D.C., where they attend a series of recognition events and professional development opportunities. They also receive a $10,000 award from NSF, a Presidential certificate, and join an elite cohort of award-winning teachers who can influence state/jurisdiction and national STEM teaching.
Please congratulate Mr. McChristian on an amazing accomplishment! Way to go Mr. Mac!
Let's do what we can to help Mr. Mac be one of the candidates selected to go to DC!!!
More information to follow as we continue to celebrate this outstanding achievement.
Interested applicants should send in a completed application, resume, and other necessary application materials to our superintendent, Mr. Michael Hart, at hart.mic@districtor1.net and CC our HR Specialist, Cassie Wemhoff, at wemhoff.cas@districtor1.net.
These positions will be open until filled. Please call our Central Office at 402-780-5327 ext. 2005 with any questions. E.O.E
