March 26, 2024 – Collinsville Middle School art teacher Kendra Cline was recognized today as March 2024 Kahok Educator of the Month. The award was presented by CMS Principal Brad Snow and local Benjamin F. Edwards financial advisor Jason Rehg.
In his nomination of Ms. Cline, Principal Snow wrote:
Ms. Cline has brought an excitement to the art class that has been missing for a number of years. Not only do students who enjoy art love her class, but those who are not art lovers leave her class with a different appreciation of the arts. She has students complete a variety of projects with many forms of media. Students are proud to see their projects displayed in the Commons Area and outside of the main office. Ms. Cline works with students who struggle and wants to see them succeed. Her door is always open to other teachers who want to learn from her. She takes part in after school activities and loves to see students excel outside of the classroom as well. She is a great role model for students and teachers alike.
Benjamin F. Edwards Financial Advisor and Vice President/Investments Jason Rehg sponsors the award each month during the school year to recognize outstanding educators in Collinsville Community Unit School District #10.
