Jessica Stoen, You Are a Milken Educator!

It's a red-and-pink-filled Valentine's Day morning at Northern Cass Elementary School, and everyone's buzzing because North Dakota State School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler is visiting. Her reason for the visit becomes clear when Milken Educator Awards Vice President Jennifer Fuller takes the mic and presents second grade educator Jessica Stoen with North Dakota's sole 2024-25 Milken Award and $25,000. See Stoen’s career-changing day in the photos below.
