Lyle Boner, Megan Cook, and Melanie Myers were selected as the Elko County School District’s December Staff and Teachers Achieving Results with Students (STARS) award recipients.
Boner, a mathematics and theatre teacher at Wells Combined School, was nominated by someone who wishes to remain anonymous.
The nomination explained Boner advises several extracurricular activities, participates in many school committees, and assists as a RISE mentor, generously dedicating his time to assist in his colleagues’ professional growth and development.
“As the leader of the Wells High School Drama Club and Thespian Troupe, he fosters a sense of community by organizing excursions to other schools in the county, providing valuable learning experiences not easily accessible,” read the nomination.
“He actively participates in the PAC (Principal Advisory Committee) and SPAC (Student Principal Advisory Committee), underscoring his dedication to including students and parents in decision-making. His passion for education is also apparent in his commitment to after-school math tutoring, overseeing MAPS testing coordination, and actively contributing to implementing the new math curriculum as a member of the Admin Implementation Council. Additionally, as a licensed school bus driver, Mr. Boner exceeds expectations by transporting various teams and clubs to their respective meets and competitions.”
