UNLV Rebels partner for teacher recognition program

October 5, 2011

UNLV Men’s Basketball Program is now in partnership with the MGM Resorts International, 8 News NOW, and the Clark County School District School-Community Partnership program to sponsor “Teacher of the Game.”

This program recognizes educators for their hard work. Instructors may be awarded for their efforts and teaching abilities based on nominations made by students.  One teacher will be recognized at each of the 18 UNLV Rebel home basketball games.

“I think a teacher should be willing to go out of their way to help students, correct anything that looks wrong, and give life tips on reality to be nominated,” says Anthea G., sophomore.

Selected teachers will collect dinner and show tickets for two, at any MGM Resorts International property of their choosing, as well as a one-night hotel stay. Finally, the winning teacher will be videotaped at their school, for a segment on 8 News NOW.

“It would be pretty awesome to win. I would be flattered to even be nominated,” explains chemistry teacher Timothy VanKirk.

For more information or to nominate your favorite teacher, go to http://ccsd.net/game or visit swcta.net.

Celebrating Earth Week and Earth Day, Environmental Club is hosting a scavenger hunt today. The event is taking place within the quad, with groups and individuals searching for prizes. “Last year, we came up with the idea of a scavenger hunt because the Environmental 101 teacher made digital escape rooms for her students in her class. The hidden caches we have are stickers, bracelets, stamps, and little trinkets that revolve around Earth Day in the shape of trees,” Ruiz said.

Standing in line during lunch, juniors and seniors wait to buy their prom ticket. Tickets were sold at the banker’s window, with Student Council members positioned nearby to exchange receipts for physical tickets. “I was there for the first day that we were selling tickets so I’ve seen the line get somewhat long, but the system of them getting their receipt from the banker then going to us for their ticket was a simple process. It’s been going pretty fast and really efficiently,” StuCo member Mya Brown said.

Sitting with moderators Angela Ferrel-Zabala and Xochitl Gomez, Vice President Kamala Harris speaks on the importance of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. A week prior, it was revealed that background checks before purchasing a gun were improving and that the “gun show loophole”, a way people could acquire guns without a background check, could no longer be exploited. “It’s an important step that we needed to take,” Vice President Harris said.
