Two members of the Singing Braves are headed to the Kansas Music Educators Association In-Service Workshop in February! Adie Timmons (Soprano 1) and Layla Hubbel (Alto 2), both sophomore singers in Fiero, were selected to participate in the KMEA All-State Honor Choirs! This is a major honor for our school! After months of preparation-choral repertoire, sight reading exercises, independent rehearsals, and college learning days - they came ready on audition day! This process takes grit, determination, and heart - way to go, Braves!

At this month’s Bonner Springs/Edwardsville Area Chamber of Commerce luncheon, the Chamber continued its partnership with USD 204 to sponsor the Teacher of the Month program — recognizing outstanding educators who go above and beyond for their students, schools, and community.

Mrs. Stos teaches four-year-old prekindergarten students, and anyone who has spent time with that age group knows it requires extraordinary patience, creativity, and energy. Her impact extends well beyond her own students. Mrs. Stos serves as a member of her Building Leadership Team and was also part of the District Teacher Leadership Academy. Her colleagues describe her as someone with an infectious positive attitude and a true team player—the kind of educator who makes everyone around her better. Teachers like Mrs. Stos are the foundation of our community. She's preparing our youngest learners not just for kindergarten, but for a lifetime of learning. She's leading her colleagues toward better practices. And she's doing it all with a smile and a spirit of collaboration. Congratulations, Mrs. Stos!
