2025 SDCTM Outstanding Elementary Math Teacher Award
Becky Kitts, a Title I teacher at Buchanan Elementary School, has been awarded the 2025 SDCTM Outstanding Elementary Math Teacher Award from the South Dakota Council of Teachers of Mathematics (SDCTM). It was stated that Mrs. Kitts consistently demonstrates excellence in teaching, innovative math instruction, and a strong commitment to fostering a love for mathematics in her students. She received a plaque and a $1000 cash award to support her efforts to teach mathematics by purchasing supplies and materials or can use it to help her with professional development costs.
