Congratulations to Mary Beth Kilnoski, who was awarded the 5th grade Falcon Award and the first-ever Sharon Parker Award from OPS middle school R M Marrs. Kilnoski graduated with her Master of Arts for Teachers degree, as part of the Math in the Middle program, in August 2010.

Her school said: "Congratulations to the amazing Ms. Kilnoski! She does so much for our team, our school and our students. This year Ms. Kilnoski was awarded the 5th grade Falcon Award and awarded the first-ever Sharon Parker Award!"

The Sharon Parker award is named for a teacher who retired in May 2019 after a 50-year career, all in the Omaha Public Schools. Two weeks later, on June 5, Parker died from a heart attack. At Marrs, she focused on technology, data, scheduling, placement and curriculum development. Learn more about Parker at: https://tinyurl.com/y9e6465k.
