United Supermarkets & Mrs Baird’s Bread honor three Lubbock area teachers as Teachers on the Rise for October
LUBBOCK, Texas — The United Family and Mrs Baird’s Bread® announced the October winners of the twelfth annual Teachers On The Rise program. Since the program launched at the beginning of the school year, nominations have poured in from students and families across the South Plains explaining the ways their teacher(s) go above and beyond the call of duty and why they deserve special recognition.
Congratulations to our winners from October: Kathy Grisby of Roosevelt Elementary School (Roosevelt ISD), Ian Klotzman of Lubbock Cooper Middle School (LCISD), and Hali Cardenas of Lubbock Estacado 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 the majority of the year ahead of us, we encourage students to nominate their favorite teachers every month!”
“This has been a tremendous start for the Teachers On The Rise program so far,” said Shane Sumrow, the program’s director. “Through these nominations, we have already heard countless testimonials about the great things teachers are doing in our classrooms. We select three winners every month, so we encourage students to re-enter their teachers if they didn’t win and try to be as detailed as possible on why teachers deserve special recognition.”
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 also sponsored by Atmos Energy and the Texas Tech Club.
