Advice from award-winning teacher Kathryn Holst

CRESWELL — To Kathryn Holst’s surprise, on Wednesday, Sept. 18, she was awarded $1,000 and named one of Oregon’s Regional Teachers of the Year. Although Holst’s peers were not as surprised since they saw her endless daily efforts, Holst said everyone at Creswell Middle School deserves recognition for their work. “​​It feels a little off to be receiving an award or recognition when I cannot think of anyone that wouldn’t deserve that,” Holst said humbly.
