McPhillips Awarded 2015 NRCSA Outstanding Elementary Teacher

Each spring, the Nebraska Rural Community Schools Association presents awards to recognize excellence in administrators, board members, and teachers in member schools, and to recognize their commitment to their students and schools. 

This year, the NRCSA bestowed the Outstanding Elementary Teacher award upon Riverside Public School's fourth grade teacher Mrs. Bonnie McPhillips. 

Originally from Hampton, Nebraska, Mrs. McPhillips graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a B.S. in Education in K-8 Elementary Education and K-9 Special Education. McPhillips took her first teaching job at Inman, NE, where she taught special education, and in 1980 began teaching third and fourth grades in Cedar Rapids.

Congratulations to Mrs. McPhillips for the honored recognition!
