MOUNTAIN VIEW — Cami Brown and Sarah Butters have been selected as the Wyoming Agriculture in the Classroom 2024 Educators of the Year. Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Butters currently teach third Grade at Mountain View Elementary School.

Both educators are active in their school, local community, and WAIC programs. They have been involved with writing, revising, and teaching the WyoWonders (formerly the Wyoming Stewardship Project). Utilizing lessons from WyoWonders, these teachers instill the values of stewardship and resource management in their students.

Brown was raised on a ranch, so stewardship in agriculture is near and dear to her heart. Mr. Erikson, the principal at Mountain View Elementary, said, “Cami has consistently provided engaging lessons that have instilled a sense of stewardship, pride, and a love of the great state of Wyoming in the students she teaches.”

Butters also serves in a variety of roles in both her school and district. Mr. Erikson commented, “Sarah seeks out professional development to ensure she is continually using best practices and proven methods for her students. This is also reflected in the  work she has put into the Wyoming Agriculture in the Classroom program.”

As the 2024 Educators of the Year, Brown and Butters will both be awarded a cash prize of $2,500 through Wyoming Agriculture in the Classroom.  The award is funded by the Vermillion Ranch, the Wyoming Livestock Roundup, Mantha Phillips, and Mike and Mary Beth Evers.
