“We are thrilled for this round of winners,” said Abie Rampy, director of public relations for The United Family. “Teachers serve a vital purpose in our communities and deserve recognition. With just two more months left in the school year, we encourage students to nominate their favorite teachers every month!”
“We know there are many teachers in our classrooms who deserve recognition, and we look forward to receiving many more nominations this spring,” said Shane Sumrow, the director of Teachers On The Rise. “We only have two more months left in the school year to nominate teachers, so we encourage students and families to get their nominations soon.”
