HONORING REVA LOBATOS ON BEING NAMED THE 2021 WYOMING AGRICULTURE IN
THE CLASSROOM EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR

HON. LIZ CHENEY

Tuesday, August 31, 2021
Ms. CHENEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate Reva Lobatos on being named the 2021 Wyoming Agriculture in the Classroom Educator of the Year.
Reva Lobatos currently teaches fourth grade at Fort Washakie Elementary in Fremont County and is active in her school, education communities, and WAIC programs. Over the past four years, Reva has taught the Wyoming Stewardship Program to her fourth grade students on the Wind River Indian Reservation. These lessons provide a meaningful way for Reva to discuss natural resources, the economic impacts of those resources, and caring for the land.
Over the past year, as the Covid-19 pandemic forced our children to attend school virtually, Reva found new and creative ways to give her students a hands-on learning experience. She utilized resources from the Wyoming Stewardship Program to allow her students to explore Devil's Tower and a Wyoming trona mine through virtual field trips. This new and creative way of teaching allowed her students to engage with the curriculum and develop an interest in our unique landmarks.
This outstanding accomplishment is a true reflection of Reva's hard work, dedication, and commitment to her students. Washakie Elementary school is lucky to have someone who puts students first and finds new and creative ways to make learning interactive for their students.
I thank Reva for her dedication to Wyoming students and contributions to education.
