Kansas State Treasurer, Lynn Rogers, has announced the winners of the Techer Appreciation Week Giveaway and an Ottawa High School teacher made the list. Out of 4,585 nominations across the State, Ottawa High School teacher Deborah Wurfel, will receive a $1,000 award.

Rogers says teachers deserve to be thanked and celebrated every year, but this year, after facing isolation, technological shortcoming and shared exhaustion, his office wanted to do a bit more for them.

Congratulations to Mrs. Wurfel and all the teachers who tirelessly dedicate themselves to educating the young people of our Nation.
