Congratulations to Mr. Aaron Edwards For Being Named NEKMEA Outstanding Middle Level Band Director
Lansing USD469 proudly announces that our Middle School Band Director, Mr. Aaron Edwards, was recently named the 2023-2024 Northeast Music Educators Association (NEKMEA) Outstanding Middle-Level Band Director! Mr. Edwards will be recognized for this award during the NEKMEA Mini-Convention at the 1:00 p.m. concert at Seaman High School on Saturday, December 2, 2023.
"It is an incredible honor to be recognized by the music teachers of Northeast Kansas," said Mr. Edwards." This award is a reflection of the amazing students and colleagues I am blessed to work with."
Lansing Middle School Principal Mr. Brooks Jenkins was thrilled to hear the news: "I am very excited that Mr. Edwards has been chosen for this award, and I look forward to seeing him recognized on December 2."
NEKMEA honors three music educators each year (elementary, middle school, high school) as the district Outstanding Music Educators (OME). Those teachers are then considered for the state OME award given by KMEA at the annual In-Service Workshop each February.
On behalf of Lansing USD469, well done, Mr. Edwards!
