Congratulations to our winners from October: Elizabeth Music of Tradewind Elementary (Amarillo ISD), Sarah Stocker of Bonham Middle School (Amarillo ISD), and Amanda Daugherty of Lefors High School (Lefors ISD).
“We are thrilled for this round of winners,” said Abie Rampy, director of public relations for The United Family. “Teachers serve such a vital purpose in our communities and they are incredibly deserving of recognition. With most of the year ahead of us, we encourage students to nominate their favorite teachers every month!”
“We remain on pace for a record number of nominations this school year,” said Shane Sumrow, the program’s director. “It is an honor to hear how our educators go above and beyond, and with Thanksgiving approaching, this is a great way to express your gratitude to educators who have made a special impact.”
Winning teachers receive a $100 United Supermarkets gift card, a $100 American Express gift card from Tyler’s Barbecue in Amarillo, a $100 Amazon gift card from Horse Creek Boutique in Spearman for classroom supplies, and a gift basket full of Mrs Baird’s goodies.
