Community rally follows Leoti teacher loss in log cabin fire
Judy Woods, a fifth grade teacher at RB Stewart Elementary, lost her Leoti log cabin to a Jan 5 fire. The Leoti Fire Department could not stop it and a distant response hampered efforts. Neighbors and USD 467 staff mobilized swift donations of goods, money, and even a bed, while students and a Wichita County High School team collected funds. Woods and her husband Duane, who built the home 35 years ago, are staying with their daughter as they plan to rebuild and return to the same location. The couple express gratitude for a supportive community they say shows “that homey love.”
