Congratulations to Mrs. Kelly Kaup are in order as she was nominated and selected as one of the nine teachers this year to receive the Golden Apple Award.

The Golden Apple recipient is selected through a nomination process via WHO tv News where the main message is: what makes your teacher impactful and extraordinary? In the nomination response, the writer noted that special teachers make a lasting impact on Montezuma students-clearly Mrs. Kaup has done that.

Mrs. Kaup is in her second year as the K-12 vocal teacher at Montezuma Community School District, but she started making a difference early on through musicals and the speech and drama program. Through her dedication and efforts, she has grown the vocal program and reminded students the importance music and performance can play in a person's life.

Congratulations to Mrs. Kaup, and we appreciate you and all that you do for our Montezuma Braves and Bravettes!
