The common thread between this year’s Sedalia Community Educators Association’s outstanding associate and educator is their drive to give students opportunities to succeed.
Deanna Jones, a social worker at Sedalia Middle School, received the associate honor and Michael Wright, the industrial technology instructor at Smith-Cotton High School, was awarded the teaching prize Tuesday in a ceremony in the Heckart Performing Arts Center at the high school.
