Congratulations to our October Teacher Appreciation Award winner, Megan Pommer!

Megan is a sixth grade English teacher at Salina South Middle School and has been with SPS for 12 years. She is dedicated to creating an inclusive, welcoming classroom where every student feels valued, respected and capable of success. She builds strong relationships with her students and encourages them to recognize their strengths, share their ideas and grow with confidence.

Megan’s commitment to inclusion extends beyond her students. She values her co-teachers and paraprofessionals as important members of the classroom team, welcoming collaboration and ensuring everyone has a role in supporting student success.

Her compassion for students, respect for her colleagues and commitment to creating a strong sense of belonging make a meaningful difference each day. We are grateful for the positive impact Megan makes on her students, colleagues and the SPS community.

Congratulations again to Megan, and thank you to our sponsors, Credit Union of America and Project Teacher!

What a fun collaboration between Salina South Middle School and Schilling Elementary School! Kindergarten students put their imaginations to work designing their own monsters, and Mrs. Huffstickler’s FACS 2 students used their sewing skills to bring those creative designs to life!

We love seeing our students connect across buildings, share their talents and learn together through hands-on, creative experiences like this.

Did you know? October is Fire Prevention Month. Each year, the Salina Fire Department visits our elementary schools to educate students about the importance of fire safety. And since 2022, Salina Fire has partnered with SPS through the Fire Safety Poster Contest, recognizing elementary students whose artwork helps educate our community about fire safety in a creative way.

This morning, Salina Fire congratulated Krishika at Schilling Elementary School for winning the 2026 Fire Safety Poster Contest.

Her poster, inspired by this year’s theme, “Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging is a Superpower!” reminds us how safely charging phones, tablets and other devices can help prevent fires. Krishika’s artwork is helping spread the important reminder that practicing fire safety is something simple we can do every day that can make a super difference!

Thank you to Sign Pro for providing the banners featuring the winning artwork.

Congratulations to our September Teacher Appreciation Award winner, Stephanie Johannes!

Stephanie is a math teacher at Salina Central. She consistently goes above and beyond to help her students succeed. Recognizing that some students needed additional support, she took the initiative to offer Saturday School to provide extra instruction, encouragement and opportunities for students to grow.

She actively participates in curriculum meetings, where she contributes thoughtful ideas and advocates for strong mathematics instruction and the needs of her students. She invests her time and expertise in strengthening the mathematics program and ensuring students have the resources and support they need to be successful.

Stephanie is the kind of educator whose influence goes beyond teaching math. She makes a meaningful difference in the lives of her students and positively shapes their experience at Central High.

Congratulations again to Stephanie, and thank you to our sponsors, Credit Union of America and Project Teacher!

Greatness Grows When You’re Here! And every day at school is a new opportunity for students to learn, grow and connect.

Being at school each day helps students feel more positive about school and themselves while supporting their academic and social success. Consistent daily attendance helps students stay engaged, build a sense of belonging and develop strong habits that support success in the classroom and beyond.

Starting the year strong by building good attendance habits reinforces the importance of being on time and present each day. Families play an important role by making attendance a priority, staying connected with their student’s school and planning ahead to reduce absences.
