Teacher News!

Four outstanding Lawrence Public Schools educators have been recognized by the University of Kansas School of Education & Human Sciences as recipients of the 2026 John Wilson & Mollie Mitchell Tickets for Teachers Award.

This year's honorees include:
- Kate Stoltenberg, Sunset Hill Elementary School
- Shana Poettker, Billy Mills Middle School
- Christy Hunt, Cordley Elementary School
- Eric Bradshaw, Lawrence Free State High School

Each of these educators has served as a mentor teacher, opening their classrooms to University of Kansas student-teachers and providing hands-on guidance, feedback, and support throughout their internships. Their mentorship plays a vital role in preparing the next generation of educators for success in their own classrooms.

As part of the recognition, nominees were invited to a special luncheon hosted by the KU School of Education and Human Sciences ahead of the KU Men’s Basketball game against Utah. The honorees were joined by their student-teachers, fellow nominated educators, and KU faculty members before receiving tickets to the game as well.

Congratulations Kate, Shana, Christy, and Eric — and thank you for investing in tomorrow's teachers!
