Today, we were proud to honor John Mackey, Library Media Specialist at Delaware Ridge Elementary, as the March Bonner Springs/Edwardsville Chamber of Commerce Teacher of the Month!
With a decade of service in USD 204, John has become a cornerstone of his school’s learning community. Through his role as Library Media Specialist, he inspires a love of reading and digital literacy, helping students grow into curious, confident, and capable learners.
John’s leadership extends beyond the library. He is an active Building Leadership Team Member, sponsor of the Braves News Network student news team, and advisor to the Student Ambassadors, a leadership group of fifth graders who model positive citizenship and service.
He seamlessly blends technology, storytelling, and leadership development, empowering students to find their voices and contribute meaningfully to their school community.
John’s energy, creativity, and commitment to student growth make him an invaluable part of Delaware Ridge Elementary. Congratulations, Mr. Mackey!
