United Supermarkets & Mrs Baird’s Bread honor three Lubbock area teachers as Teachers on the Rise for February

LUBBOCK, Texas — The United Family and Mrs Baird’s Bread announced the February 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 February: Pamela Means of Lubbock-Cooper West Elementary (Lubbock Cooper ISD), Nick Wolfe of Evans Middle School (Lubbock ISD), and J Cummings of Lubbock High School (Lubbock 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 less than three months remaining, we encourage students to keep nominating their favorite teachers every month!”

“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 the end of school. So 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, 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.
