Do you know someone extraordinary who is helping local students?
KCPT is looking for pre-K to 12th grade educators and leaders around the metro that are making an impact. As part of the national American Graduate “Stories of Champions” initiative, KCPT is asking community members to nominate local Champions of education.
From community nominations, one will be selected, and profiled on KCPT and kcpt.org, as well as on the American Graduate website.
Please tell us a little bit about the person you’re nominating and how to get in touch with you so that we can follow-up.
Reading these stories is free, but telling them is not. Start your monthly gift now to support Flatland’s community-focused reporting.
