Saturday, April 28 was a big day for the Nye County School District, whose educators were recognized during the 19th Annual Stand For Children Teacher of the Year Celebration.

A day dedicated to showing appreciation for all the hard work the county’s classroom instructors do on a daily basis, the event brought together teachers and school staff from all over the school district. The ceremony included a lunch freshly prepared on site at the NyE Communities Coalition, song, musical performances, speeches and an overall atmosphere of gratitude for the good works done in the local school system.

The event kicked off with a welcome from master of ceremonies Kyle Lindberg, followed by the presentation of the colors by Boy Scout Troop #651 and the national anthem. Several others added their talents to the shindig, such as Angela Apaez and Alex Englehardt, both of whom serenaded the audience, as well as the Pahrump Valley High School band and select choir. Rounding out the entertainment were Monique Rodriquez and Sam Garcia, who performed a dance routine.
