Who's your favorite teacher? Does she make math a snap? Does he make ugly insects cool? We want you to tell us! To honor those teachers who make a difference every day for the children in our schools we're asking you to nominate them for Teacher of the Year! One teacher will be honored each month with a certificate and prize leading up the announcement of the Teacher of the Year at a luncheon and award ceremony in May. We'll post all of this school year's nominees right here so check back to see if your teacher was nominated! Teacher of the Year is presented by ABC57 News and Sunny 101.5, with Martin's Super Markets. (Children under 13, please ask a parent to submit your nomination.)
