Four award recipients, selected by the members of Missouri Baptist College Chi Pi Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi honor society, were recognized at a ceremony held November 10, 1998, in MBC’s Delozier Chapel. The ceremony was given in honor of each individual’s contribution to education in Missouri.
The following educators were recognized: Dale Kelly, principal at Troy Primary School; Nancy Dykstra, first grade teacher at Twin Oaks Christian School; Juanita Stalnaker, retired elementary reading teacher of the Parkway School District; and Charles Gackstetter, retired high school teacher of the Maplewood-Richmond Heights School District.
Kappa Delta Pi, founded March 8, 1911, brings recognition to excellence in education. Kappa Delta Pi invites those to membership who exhibit the ideals of service, high personal standards, and scholarship. Membership for 1998 exceeds 60,000 educators from more than 550 university, college and alumni chapters.
