Teachers on the Rise for November
LUBBOCK, Texas — The United Family and Mrs Baird’s Bread announced the November winners of the thirteenth annual Teachers On The Rise program. Since the launch of the program in August, nominations have poured in from students and families across the South Plains, highlighting how teachers go above and beyond the call of duty, deserving special recognition.
Congratulations to our winners from November: Michelle Summers of Miller Elementary School (Lubbock ISD), Monica Hernandez of Talkington School for Young Women Leaders (Lubbock ISD), and Brad Crow of Lubbock Christian School.
“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 only one semester remaining, we encourage students to keep nominating 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 the New Year 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, lunch for two to the Texas Tech Club, and a gift box full of Mrs Baird’s goodies. The students who nominate a winning teacher also receive a $50 American Express gift card. Teachers On The Rise is supported by Atmos Energy, the year-end banquet sponsor.
