The United Family and Mrs Baird’s Bread recently announced the first group of instructors to be honored for the 2016-2017 Lubbock Teachers On The Rise program. The two September winners include Ronda Binion of Sudan Elementary (Sudan ISD) and Taylor Bull of OL Slaton Middle School (Lubbock ISD).
Winning teachers each receive a $100 gift card to United Supermarkets, Market Street or Amigos, as well as a $100 VISA gift card. The students who nominate a winning teacher also receive a $50 VISA gift card.
“We are excited to recognize these two outstanding teachers for their contributions to our schools and community,” said Mary Myers, communications and community relations manager for The United Family. “Teachers play a pivotal role in the education and development of our community’s future leaders and the Teachers On The Rise program provides an opportunity to reward those who go above and beyond.”
Three South Plains teachers – one elementary, middle school and high school – will be named Teachers On The Rise in October and every month for the remainder of the school year. To nominate a teacher, visit www.MrsBTeacher.com and explain why your teacher(s) deserve special recognition.
