HUTCHINSON, Kan. – Ad Astra Radio is proud to announce the most recent recipient of the Classroom Hero Award presented by Heartland Credit Union.
Teresa Shrock teaches third grade at Haven Grade School. She has been a teacher for 35 years in the Haven USD 312 district.
“I enjoy seeing the children grow, seeing the change from the beginning to the end,” Shrock said.
Each month, Ad Astra Radio honors a different educator, selected from community nominations, to receive the Classroom Hero Award, along with a “hero” gift basket, courtesy of community partners Heartland Credit Union, Midway Motors of Hutchinson, Stutzman’s Greenhouse, Hutch Putt and The Foto Cowboy.
Shrock, a Reno County native, is a graduate of Nickerson High School. She credits her third-grade teacher with why she chose the profession herself.
“I remember staying after school with her and grading papers. She’d buy me a bottle of pop,” Shrock said. “That started my love for teaching.”
The Classroom Hero Award seeks to highlight the hard work and dedication of those on the front lines of our local schools. Nominations can be submitted at https://www.adastraradio.com/classroom-hero.
