STAR TEACHER!!

Our next teacher that we would like to recognize is Mrs. Bachkora, the 6th grade science teacher. She is pregnant and her baby girl is due next month.  Her and her husband, Chris, have another little girl named Gabrielle who will be 2 next month. Gabrielle loves puppies, monkeys, and Shrek.  They have a dog named Tater and currently live in Mission, KS. She love sports and played them continuously throughout her life.  She played soccer at a D1 university in Saint Louis, called Saint Louis University, while her husband played baseball there. She was interviewed by an Apache News reporter to find out what she REALLY liked..
Me: How long have you been teaching?
Her: I have been teaching for 3 years now. This is my first year teaching at Arrowhead. I last taught in Leavenworth KS, and before that I lived and taught in Saint Louis, MO.

Me: What is your FAVORITE thing about AMS, or the students, or both?
Her: My favorite thing about AMS is the students! We have such a talented group of kids both academically, musically, dramatically, and athletically and I enjoy watching them work and succeed daily.

Me: What are two things NO ONE would guess about you?
Her: Two things no one may guess about me....when I was little I used to be an avid comic book junkie. I love art--drawing, painting, sculpture--and closely considered being an art teacher instead of a science teacher while in college.

Well, thats Mrs. Bachkora representing the 6th graders! Congratulations on your new baby girl, we (the AMS Apache News Team) hope for the best with your growing family.

Hot Spots!!

  Thanks to Mr. Brame, our next stop is Oklahoma Joe's. Its located in two spots ONLY in Kansas. One of the spots is on South Strang Line Road in Olathe, KS. The other one is located on 47th and Mission Rd. in Kansas City, KS. Kansas is such a special place to have such great bar-be-que spots like Oklahoma Joe's and Gates. In fact, it has been debated that Kansas is among Memphis, TN. and Nashville, TN., to have the best barbeque EVER!!
   When you pull up to Oklahoma Joe's, there are two immediate giveaways that it is something special. First is the line out the door, which started forming 20 minutes before the 11 a.m. opening. Secondly, it's in a gas station. There are many great BBQ joints across this nation occupying former gas stations, but Oklahoma Joe's is in a current gas station. Many people cant wait to get a taste of the wonderful food they have to offer. They have TONS to choose from; pulled pork, beef brisket, smoked turkey, smoked ham, smoked chicken, full slab of ribs, and MUCH more! Some of these things MAY sound like something you have NEVER tried but, you never know UNLESS you try; take a risk! One day when a family member asks you, "What you want to eat?" you should simply reply, "I wanna try this 'Oklahoma Joe's"...Trust me its worth it!!
