Teacher receives giant check; no golf necessary
October 9, 2008
Wentzville
Wentzville South Middle School teacher Stan Lane was honored Tuesday as the “Teacher of the Year” by the Wentzville Wal-Mart.
Sarah Thomas presented Mr. Lane and his school with an oversized check for $1,000.
“I always wanted a giant check, but I dreamed about getting it after winning a golf tournament!” joked Mr. Lane. “But seriously, I will use the money for new technology in my classroom, probably a smart board or an LCD projector.”
Mr. Lane was nominated by his students for his outstanding work as a 6th grade Social Studies teacher. He has been a teacher in the Wentzville School District for 15 years, the last eight at Wentzville South Middle School.
In addition to the $1,000 check for the school, Mr. Lane also receives a $100 gift card.
