TODD BENTZ
NAMED "TEACHER OF THE WEEK" ON KS95
Congratulations to Todd Bentz who was named "Teacher of the Week" on KS95 (94.5).
This morning (December 1), he was interviewed on the air along with Mia Anderson,
the CA-Bloomington senior who nominated him. Mia said she appreciates the extra
mile
that all of her
teachers are willing to go for students. Todd will be presented with a plaque
and will be eligible for a drawing for a $1000 prize at the end of the school
year. More information about the program can be found at http://www.ks95.com/teacher.shtml.
Once again we congratulate Todd, and we thank Mia for being such an excellent
advocate for our school, teachers, and students.
