Arvest Bank has announced Leisa Lasley, Cassville Middle School resource educator, is one of the winners of the annual “We Love Teachers” campaign.

The campaign is designed to recognize and provide support to teachers throughout the Arvest footprint. Arvest has awarded prize money to individual teachers throughout Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.

“I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the recognition and support Arvest Bank has provided for our classroom,” Lasley said. “I am honored to be chosen and look forward to using these funds to better serve my students by purchasing items to create a positive climate experience and support academic success.”

“We were very excited to be able to celebrate and honor Mrs. Lasley as a part of the We Love Teachers campaign through Arvest Bank,” said Mrs. Samantha Cosper, CMS Assistant Principal. “Mrs. Lasley calls her students ‘her kids,’ and that description is accurate. They become a member of her family. She deeply cares for her students and goes above and beyond to ensure that all of their needs are met so that they can be successful here at school.

“She is positive and nurturing while holding students to high expectations. We are very grateful for the donation that Arvest Bank has made to Mrs. Lasley’s classroom and their ongoing commitment to supporting and celebrating educators.”
