Banner School won second place for its student-made float during the Yukon Czech Parade.

STEAM students in kindergarten through eighth grade designed and constructed the float.

Magic 104 and American Fidelity recently presented Riverside teacher Bailey Smith as the first Magic 104 Teacher of the Month.

She received $250 and tickets to a Carrie Underwood concert.

Smith is the middle school ELA teacher and assistant basketball coach. She was nominated by a personal friend who has observed firsthand that she works long hours and puts her whole being into her work as a teacher.

The nomination stated that Smith works just as hard to teach her students life lessons as she does academic lessons.
