United Supermarkets & Mrs Baird’s Bread honor three Amarillo area teachers as
Teachers on the Rise for March
AMARILLO, Texas — The United Family and Mrs Baird’s Bread announced the March winners of the twelfth annual Teachers On The Rise program. Since the launch of the program in August, nominations have poured in from students and families across the High Plains, highlighting how teachers go above and beyond the call of duty, deserving special recognition.
Congratulations to our winners from March: Haley Ayala of Hillside Elementary School (Canyon ISD), Crystal Foster of Bonham Middle School (AISD), and Megan Gilliland of Canyon High School (Canyon 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 only two months remaining, we encourage students to nominate their favorite teachers!”
“We know great things go on in area classrooms year-round,” said Shane Sumrow, the program’s director. “That’s why we accept nominations through May 4th. So with just one more month to go, now is a great time for students and families to let us know how educators go above and beyond to make an 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. The students who nominate a winning teacher also receive a $50 American Express gift card. Teachers On The Rise is also sponsored by Kids Incorporated, which hosts the program’s year-end banquet.
